Answer: It depends Research shows that when students work more than hours a week their school performance may suffer On the other hand limited work can be an important aid to a young person After school jobs can be detrimental if student who works late hours falls asleep in class -- The paychecks lead the student to activities that compete with study time -- The job lowers the student’s interest in school and performance drops After school jobs can be beneficial if: -- The student develops an appreciation for high performance and hard work -- The job develops useful skills and improves self worth -- The student learns how to manage money time and learns to keep a balance in their lives Most high schools have job programs for students that manage the number of hours the students work guide the work experience give credit for work and watch the situation to make sure the student and employer benefit from the experience The parent w hose high son or daughter is thinking of taking a job may want to tall the family together and discuss how this will affect the student and the family Talk about saving some of the earnings making time for the family good uses of the money and bad uses of the money And most important make it plain that school bhould remain the student’s top priority The Christmas credit hangover by Dennis Hinkamp Information Writer Utah State University Although stores began putting up Christmas displays long before the lips started to curl of your under people still lament “Christmas snuck up on me” Like the diet we’re going to start on we keep putting Christmas Monday off 1 hen it is too late to budget too late to shop for sales and we end up with a revolving charge hangover the first week of January I’m going to beat even the retailers this year and write this column about Christmas 1989 the one you’re going to plan for I know I’m stealing from Dickens but around July you are going to have a choice You can either be visited by the ghost cf Christmas future or the ghost of Christmas past Christmas future will come on a hot breeze and tell you to either put money away for Christmas 89 or start buying the gifts early and saving them The ghost of Christmas past will likely jump out of your MasterCard or Visa bill reminding you that you are still paying off your credit card revolving charge lrom the previous Christmas Credit cards however are not the root of all evil Even a Scrooge would probably use them You can use them to your Christmas shopping advantage: (1) credit cards are preferable for shopping because they are processed much faster than checks (2j some offer extended extra warranty protection on products you purchase with their card (3) they allow you to place telephone orders and (4) in some cases credit card companies help you arbitrate consumer disputes over products On the down side: (1) they may enand (2) if you courage o expending don’t repay them within 30 days it is like taking out a loan at percent interest Consider alternatives to the mad dashes through the stores looking for the perfect gilt: Shopping by mail: You are probably less likely to buy impulsively through the mail You pay no taxes unless you are buying from a company with a store in your state although this may be offset by shipping costs If you are Consumer going to buy something to send out of town anyway you can just have the catalog company do the gift wrapping and shipping to save yourself the hassle Gift Certificates: These are a bit impel sonal but no more so than bridal registries and we use them all the time They are much more thoughtful than getting someone something they don’t need Remember all (he cliches: “It’s the not the gift that counts” thought “You can’t buy love” etc In the midst of all the tinsel and hype it is hard to the true keep meaning of Christmas m another good reason to perspective shop in July or through catalogs Give the gift that keeps on batteries Growing v & Growing Remember Only you rtc Foftbrto oi prevent forest fires yuursiM Forir Ms wets fighting for American Heart tjFE Association ches of snow 6p |
