SAN ANTONIO – The UTSA Urban Education Institute has compiled a study that contains both encouraging and disappointing news for high school students who have jobs outside of the classroom.
Mike Villarreal, director of the Urban Education Institute, said research data showed working and going to school doesn’t hurt students academically, even for those taking advanced or dual credit courses.
“Their work doesn’t take away from their rigorous coursework,” Villarreal said, but it could if they take on more than they can handle.
