I mean I guess, it's good to build character, and gives you a little bit of extra spending cash, that you can say you earned on your own, rather than getting it via allowance for doing something you should have been doing around the house anyway.

Not a job, but definitely some sort of activity. The purpose of school is education. Instead of bogging students down with redundant schoolwork (some systems), they should help the students develop social and technical skills.

When you're my age the only job you can do is getting up at about 6 AM to do the paper round which there is no point in as you get paid pretty much bugger all and is boring. When you're still in school you don't need a job any way.

Just how old are you? I started working alongside going to school at 15. Initially just for some spending money, because my parents couldn't afford much beyond the bare essentials, and later for my education. I managed to get my associates with minimal student debt by working through it, but unfortunately going for a bachelors or higher is well beyond what one can expect from a couple part time jobs :/

Well the could have only been a crappy dead end job that pays peanuts that you did when you were 15. At least in the UK at 15 you can't even get a job in a shop as you can't do cash handling, also I don't want any spending money as I have nothing in particular I want to spend it on.

I am now in my final year of school (in the UK you leave at 16) and doing my GCSEs so I need to focus on revising now anyway.

One should concentrate on study first, after school jobs divert the mind. Specialy if someone wants to do Management course then it will get difficult to manage both.

Jobs by their very nature can be highly stressful so to add that on to the stresses of academic expectations will be quite taxing for someone in high school I imagine. At the same time, some students have little choice, particularly if their families are struggling financially. Still, it is nice for any young person to feel some sense of self-sufficiency by earning their own money but bearing in mind my first line I'd say it's better coming from a seasonal job rather than regular after school hours. That way, less stress but work ethic still acquired.

Kids will be kids and they are still minors which means they are a protected class. They need to do their homework when they come home from school.

While it's good experience and good for a bit of extra cash to have an after school job, some students are just unable to have one due to their already extremely demanding workload. For those familiar with the British educational system, I'll use A-Levels as an example. They are extremely tough and demanding, especially for a 16-year old (the age which students usually start their A-Levels).

Having an after school job could potentially overwork the student. You have to remember that they've already had a long day at school plus homework on top of that.

An after school job would just add to the everyday stresses of students' lives. They already have hormonal pressure, the stress of school and home work ad they need to balance all of that will essential spare time, too. Allow them to study and prepare for a job they will get in the future rather than forcing them into an unnecessary job prematurely.

No, after school job for every student will create too much pressure on students and will hamper their future education and hence better future job prospects. I don't think it should be mandatory. Also, jobs for under grads are mainly those that require mainly labor and slogging!. However, I do believe that after job is a good way to self support if a need be!. Thanks
