Presents Important Aspects of Working Often Overlooked by Teens and Young Adults.  There are lots of reasons for taking part-time or summer jobs. Some teens and young adults take part-time jobs so they can buy the things they want. Others help with family living expenses or save for education. 

This new video shows that there is much more to be gained from part-time and summer jobs than just paychecks: Virtually all work experience has value beyond the monetary rewards. 

Features Real Teens and Young Adults. A young narrator leads interviews with young people who hold, or have held, part-time and summer jobs. They discuss what they like, dislike, and have learned from these jobs and give advice for those who follow. Even employers who hire young people provide comments. They all
emphasize that these jobs can and should accomplish more than just earning money.

Please note this video comes from a Part of the High School-to-Career Video Series.
