Question

does it interfier badly with studying and homework too?

Answer 1

It depends on how much time you have and homework and what all you do. If you're involved in any sports or extra curriculars, than try to avoid getting a job as long as possible, because scheduling and not having any free time can be exhausting. But if you don't do anything outside of school and have a lot of free time, then a few hours a week probably won't hurt.

But think about it, you'll have a job for the rest of your life, so it's a good idea to stay a kid as long as possible. [Especially if your parents are the kind that'll generally pay for what you might need.]

Answer 2

I think so. If I were you I'd wait until your Junior or Senior year.

Answer 3

not if you are smart and a little pocket money would help your finances.....
