Jobs and Their Effects

By Osvaldo Aguilar

In the summer of 2012 many high school students started to join the work force. Some without even thinking about their school. Many of them without knowing it was going to take most of their school time and also studying time.

El Cajon valley high school student Eli Meza agrees, “Sometimes having a lot of homework really does kill me”.

Jobs not only decays physically a person out but also helps students only in life and in their necessities, Jorge Garcia Speaks, “I mainly work because I want be able to buy myself stuff and help my family out”.

Eli Tells us that at first she was lost and confused but as time went on she understood the wishes of the clients demands. “At first it was difficult to understand what people really wanted but as time passed I began to understand their needs and wants”.

Unlike Eli, Jorge has been working for a longer period as a security for some time and has understand his job he explains. “When I firs started it wasn’t very difficult and as time passed it really hasn’t changed it’s been the same since”.

Sometimes jobs really do take time away but it is really a need for our lives as teens. Jobs and education are two very important factors but also very opposite for some people. It may mean taking time from either school or the job but at the end it will all have to flow together. In some times it may take time to juggle with both. For some people they decide to work than to educate themselves. For others they perform both in the same time. Students often have to leave school to help support the family. This factor does happen in our country it is not just in other parts of the world. This happens in the low income families.
