Video Guide to Summer and Part-Time Jobs

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 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.

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. Employers who hire young people also provide comments. They all emphasize that these jobs can and should accomplish more than just earning money.
