Perils of part-time work

Many teenagers now have part-time jobs.

Some work to subsidise their school fees and some want to save for extravagant brand-name products.

It would be a lie to say that these part-time jobs do not interfere with their studies.

In fact, many seem to be part-time students and full-time workers.

It is surely not a phenomenon we want to see. But it seems to be the norm.

Students do not seem to understand how much these jobs eat into their study time.
