After accounting for hours of homework,

club activities, sports practices, family obligations, church activities and sleep, it’s a wonder how students are able to fit part-time jobs into their busy lives. However, many Marian girls are employed, working anywhere from 10 to 25 or more hours a week at a variety of different places.

Working in high school can either be a great opportunity to gain insight

into the “real world,” or it can be nothing but a stress-inducing headache.

“It’s case by case. For some, I think it’s a great idea [to have a job] because they have time in their schedule and want to save money for college, but some people are just too busy to fit another thing in their schedule,” counselor Ms. Kathy DeBoer said.

While for some the best part of their jobs is clocking out, other Marian girls enjoy meeting

new people or making friends with co-workers (according to the survey).

“It teaches responsibility, independence and to work as a member of a team outside of the home and school environments,” DeBoer said. “I think as long as you enjoy what you’re doing, it’s going to be a great experience,” she said.

The Network staff decided to showcase a few girls and their work experiences.
