What's the advantage of doing paid work in high school

My D had a job at a sub shop in HS. What she learned:

  • Interview skills. She was super nervous about applying for positions and interviewing but it’s a necessary life skill. IMO, helped with college interviews.
  • Resume skills
  • Team work
  • Time Management
  • Saving strategies
  • How to do new hire paperwork and taxes
  • Dependability

And she had fun to boot!
