According to ‘BestCareerLinks.com’ fosters after school job, “Part time student jobs are a great way to pay your way through college, or provide extra money,…a way to “get a feel” for the nature of a particular career.”(2007, para1.) As far as I experience, after school jobs have a lot of benefits for teens because these improve teens’ social skills, choose a real job easily and manage teens’ better school life effectively.

Usually, most of teenagers like shopping and they are sensitive their fashion trends. Accordingly, after school job is one of good solution to satisfy their desire what they want to buy and what they want to do.

In fact, after school jobs have a lot more beneficial things than shortcomings. Definitely, part time jobs enhance teens’ collaboration. As we know, work places have a lot of employees so that teens have to make relationship whether they like or not. That is why this discipline encourages teenagers’ social skills.
