Should teenagers have jobs while they're in high school? Doesn't working distract them from schoolwork, cause long-term problem behaviors, and precipitate a precocious transition to adulthood? This report from a remarkable longitudinal study of 1,000 students, followed from the beginning of high school through their mid-twenties, answers, resoundingly, no. Examining a broad range of teenagers, Jeylan Mortimer concludes that high school students who work even as much as half-time are in fact better off in many ways than students who don't have jobs at all. Having part-time jobs can increase confidence and time management skills, promote vocational exploration, and enhance subsequent academic success. The wider social circle of adults they meet through their jobs can also buffer strains at home, and some of what young people learn on the job--not least responsibility and confidence--gives them an advantage in later work life.

Excerpt from Dashwood Priory: Or Mortimer's College Life A little after ten, a long troop of young people passed in, and a minute or two after, Mr. Mortimer arrived with his eldest son, Reginald, a youth of seventeen, followed by Louis, and a young friend and schoolfellow, who had been spending his holidays at the Priory, and had joined Louis and his brother in their preparations for this rite this virtual bap tiem of those who are sincere in their solemn profession, and which, we may confidently hope, has proved the time when many a dear child of God has been brought into inward covenant with Him, and been enabled by God's grace to choose the Lord for his God, and the ways of the Lord for his portion. While ascribing all conversion to the free grace of God, it is not depending too much on ordinances to be lieve that He who works by means, should bless this means to the souls of many of those who are, as it were, arrested then seriously by the question, How long halt ye between two opinions Choose ye this day whom ye will serve. If the Lord be God, follow Him They who seek God early shall find Him and a sincere and heartfelt dedication to Him must bring down a blessing.
