What do you think about teenagers doing part time jobs?

Recent statistics show that more than 35 percent of students in college spent their time doing part time jobs. Although many people, such as some of their parents or teachers consider that doing part time job is not good for one who still has to make most efforts in their studies, I think doing part time job can benefits student in several ways; for example, to obtain a sense and spirit of serving others and experience the relationship between employer and other employees will be a great pre-learning before one actually goes to work.
First of all, students in college will mostly become one of the best employees in the society after graduation. By this mean, I consider the spirit of serving others will play an essential role for us. By participate in part time jobs such as in a restaurant or other facilities where one have to do his best to fulfill the demands of the customers, one can absolutely learn the true significance of serving others. Always have smile on one’s face and always think more for the customers can be a great lesson for his future work: always think what one can contribute more for the society and make it better. Therefore, I think doing a part time job is a really good option besides one’s schoolwork.
Secondarily, experiencing the relationship between employers is also very important for future work. Unlike school works, while one has to work hard to obtain good performance, he does not actually have any responsibility for anyone except oneself. By actually receiving salaries from the employer, one has the responsibility to do a great job in order to earn his money.
Besides the relationship between one and his employers, how they get along with their colleagues is also an important issue which they should face to. For example, several of my friends worked in a national park this summer. Although they work same amount of time for the same employer, their tips differ from each other’s based on what position they hold. For example, the bar tender can earn almost ten times the tips than house keeper. Of course one can say that it’s because the working styles are different that cause this situation. But from the prospective of the housekeeper, how to deal with the feeling that hard works earns less money will be a difficult lesson.
To sum up, I think experiencing all the relationships one has to face in real work while they are student is really beneficial. By treating the part time job as an important learning period can make one an experienced employee when they are entering the society as a rookie.
