With the summer on the horizon, many students are making big plans. They’re looking forward to the pool, going out with friends, or just driving around with the windows down. However, how do they pay for everything? According to the United States Census in 2010, 30% of high school students over 16 have a part-time job. Audubon students are no exception.
Morgan Parris has worked at a local grocery store for almost three years now. “I plan on working there this summer to save money for college. My only problem is I can’t stop spending it.” Parris believes that working a part-time job is great for kids who want to build up a good work ethic and have some “spending money.” She plans on doing work study next year to help save up for books and other necessities.
Emma Konkler, a senior at Audubon, does not, however, have a job. She keeps up her time with keeping her siblings out of trouble. She also has summer practices for basketball, track, and volleyball. “I don’t have a job now, but I plan to have a work-study job once I get to college this fall.”
