Summer 2018 means summer jobs for Friars

Over the summer, the students of Malvern will be working hard at various jobs.

Ranging from working in family businesses, to using skills learned here at Malvern, many students work summer jobs—sometimes even more than one.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), only about 35 percent of Americans aged 16 to 19 had summer jobs during the summer of 2014. Studies by the BLS found that some parents see little value in parents see minimum wage jobs, instead pushing students to do summer programs like camps or academic credit that look good on college applications, to potentially help offset future college costs. But some researchers have also found that summer jobs can help boost academic performance in the classroom.

Malvern plans to make changes to the seniors’ graduation date in 2019 so that seniors could start jobs or internships earlier. What are some of our Friars doing during summer 2018?
