Why Kids Get Payed
We all know that most adults have a job, in which they do work, and in turn get payed. Kids have to go to school, in which they do work, and don't get payed.

    In the article, Pay your own way by Audrey Rock-Richardson, she discussed her reasoning’s for why she felt that kids should be responsible for their own financial needs for college. Rock-Richardson believes that every student should pay their own way because it will teach them responsibility and give them a feeling of self- accomplishment as it did her. Rock-Richardson is correct about students still having to work during their college years, but if they have someone that is willing and able to pay for their college and they are able to focus on their classes then they should take advantage of that situation.…

    Put yourself in the shoes of a twenty three year old. They have just graduated with their bachelor's degree. They do not have to worry about school any longer, no longer have to attend classes, or worry about not remembering the answer to a question on an exam.However, their debt in student loans will follow them until they are in their mid fourties. They will not want to eat stably, purchase good clothes. They may miss electricity bills, or struggle to keep a cheap apartment as it is. They will struggle to survive, not to live, all because they need to get all of the debts that they are swimming in, paid as quickly as possible, just so that they can start living their life. While people may believe that this will cost society more money, when it comes to college level education, I believe that all tuition and fees should be covered by the government, all the way to a phd.…

More and more students would be going to school not missing or skipping. There are studies that show more students do better when they get paid for doing it. People wanna work hard when they have a motivation. Getting money for getting good grades would possibly be one of the best ways to go or it also could be the worst way…

    “Lead by example and you will teach others without having to say a word.” This is a quote that my grandparents would always instill in both myself and my siblings. Growing up in a traditional Polish family the phrase “it takes a village to raise a child” was very accurate. I can remember every member of my family playing a role in my upbringing. We were taught to respect authority and if you did something wrong you would be held accountable for it.…

    When a student becomes employed, they can save the money that they earned, which can benefit for their future education. To further explain, the interview “ Paying for College without Loans, Scholarships or Looting your Parents’ Retirement” by Steinburg, Jacques and Mr. Zac Bissonnette tells the reader how “ Saves $6 per hour of that throughout high school will have 24,960 in savings,”(Bissonette 13). This proves to show that just with saving a little bit of money, can help the student pay off college easily. Others may argue that working during high school can distract a student from their work, but the same article leads a different direction with that statement. For example, it states how “college student who were employed...higher average GPA (2.72) than those who werent working,” (Bissonette 13).The statistics clearly show that when a student works during school it motivates them try harder at school. Overall, working while being in high school allows the student to not be in such a high…
