Job? need opinions?

Question

i'm a sophomore in high school and my parents won't let me have a job during the schoolyear-i completely agree with them-i don't have time for a job between school, 3 sports, violin lessons, and piano lessons. but some of my friends think it's completely crazy that they won't let me have a job-they don't understand why my parents won't just try it to see how it goes. what do you think?

Answer 1

It sounds like you're parents are right and that you wouldn't have time for a job anyways. Don't worry about what you're friends think. It's your life and as long as you and your parents agree that you don't need a job right now then go with that.

Answer 2

i would like to mention that the three sports arent at the same time...fall, winter, and spring

Answer 3

eh well im gonna get a job and im going to be a junior..mainly cuz im getting my license soon and ill need cash

but its understandable that ur parents feel grades and everything else ur in comes first

so dont worry about it :)

Answer 4

No way!!  You have too much on your plate right now to be getting a job.  Academics come first.  Maybe in the summer you can get a job working as a life guard or at a store, but when are you going to find time for work?  I know when I played sports I barely had time to breath....  Unless you can find a job that only needs you on the weekends then maybe its soable.  But you also want to be able to relax and enjoy being a teenager...

Answer 5

i think you and your parents are right- you don't have time. you must be drained just from doing the stuff you mention, and you don't need to go to work on top of all that. i need to get a job to pay for my car insurance when i'm 16, but i don't have all that stuff, either. maybe you can find somewhere who needs weekend help, when you have more time?

Answer 6

from what you said you dont have time,. a job will want you to commit to at least 20 hours their schedule up to 40 hours.
