Summer Jobs Teach the Value of Money
The most obvious benefit of a summer job is your teen earning their own money. This gives them a sense of accomplishment and responsibility. From earning to spending to saving, they’ll learn important lessons in money management. They will also feel more independent and empowered.
Summer Jobs Provide a New Perspective
Summer jobs can give teens insight into what they may want to do after high school. They may discover they really enjoy working with groups of people, or perhaps they learn they’d rather work on their own. They may enjoy working with their hands more than in an office environment.
A summer job can also offer perspective and a new-found respect for roles they never thought about before. They may become more patient, understanding, and thoughtful when interacting with customer service workers, as they may have been in their shoes while they worked their summer jobs.
