Workin Hard One of the things in a teenagers life that is very important is mon- ey, and they will do almost any- thing to earn it. Jobs teach teens two very important things: how to handle money and responsibility. These are essential skills which will be needed by everyone some- day. Teenagers work in many places, such as McDonalds, Tradewell, and the basic everyday yard jobs. Everyone has money in mind when they get a job but some people en- joy their work as well. Pat Moore, a senior, says he likes his job. The money is good and I enjoy the company of the people who work there. Many people do not have a job for various reasons. lt gets in the way of school work, sports. and social life, said senior Peter Um- bach. These reasons apply to the majority of students without a job. Most of them get along, mon- eywise , with jobs on the side Cba- bysitting. lawnmowing etc . . . J or parental assistance. Jobs sometimes get in the way of important things but they are necessary for many students in high school to have the luxuries that they desire. These luxuries include: clothes. cars, food, and other such things that are important in a teenager's life. Luxuries such as these are necessary to the person but not always necessary to life itself they just make it a lot more enjoyable.
