Taking part-times jobs has become phenomenon among university students, and some of students in Malaysia follow this trend as well.Students who be trained about science and theories at
university are not enough to prepare them for adult life.
In my opinion I think all teenagers should have at least
a part-time job. A part- time job is a taste of the real world and is good to teach teens what it is like to
work. Having a job teaches teenagers many things like managing money, worth ethics,
and it keeps them out of trouble. Many parents do not want their children to work while they are still in
school because they believe it will interfere with their school work.
The
first reason why teenagers should have a job is to learn how to manage money. So
teenagers will stop thinking "money grows on trees." If they are
saving up for their first car, they will have to manage how much they can allow
themselves to spend, as well as how much they should save out of each paycheck in
order to reach their goal. Teenagers will quickly realize they cannot spend every money that they make if they want
to have something special that they are saving up for.
The
second reason for teenagers to have a job is to teach them work ethnics. You
know the saying, "a little hard work never hurt anyone." I completely agree with that
saying, especially when it comes to a teenager having an
after-school job. There is no reason that all the teens in Malaysia
shouldn't have some sort of job, either after-school or just during their
summer vacation. It's a good idea to show your teenager that hard work is what
it takes to accomplish everything in life. They can't learn the meaning of hard work if
everything is handed to them.
The
third reason it is a good idea for teens to have a job is to keep them out of
trouble. You are probably thinking "teenagers will get into trouble whether they have a
job or not." You are right, but it is less likely that they will get into
trouble if they are working five evenings a week, especially
if you give them a curfew for after work. This is the top reason most people make
their teenagers start working because they have already got into trouble but in order to keep your teenager out of
trouble before they get into a lot of trouble is to start them at an early age working at a part time job.
In the
end, it is a good idea for all teenagers to have an after-school job. If they
aren't able to handle a job after school then they should definitely have a
summer job when school is out. All teenagers, no matter what their parent's financial situation is, should have a job. They will
need the practice and experience before they get out into the real world. There
are far too many teenagers in the world today that expect thing to be handed to them on a silver platter.
Parents today don't make their kids work like they use to back in the day; I know
my grandparents were working at the age of ten years old in the tobacco fields or corn fields. Working outside is
great for boys especially. Show your teenager what it means to be a responsibly
human being in the world today and they will thank you later for it in the future.
