Relation between work & school
A relatively large amount of adolescents hold a part-time job while they are attending school.

This project will attempt to find whether a correlation exists between students who have a part-time job obtain lower grades versus students who do not hold a part-time job.Many adolescents need to procure a part-time job, while they are in school, to earn money for many different reasons.

Firstly, the results of the questionnaire were used to observe if there is a significant relationship between working and grades. The 60 results of the different questions on the questionnaire were analysed. Both variables are measured on a ratio scale. The relationship is monatomic and Pearsons Correlation will be performed to assess the statistical significance of the results. Steinberg, L., & Dornbusch, S. (1991).
