There are many benefits and tradeoffs to taking on a job versus side hustle and we are going to compare them in this article.

Part-time jobs usually are structured with pay and give out hours. These roles also help teens to develop teamwork, punctuality, and workplace communication skills.

Side hustles, such as tutoring are more flexibilile. Teens can control their schedules and workload, but your income isnt as stable and may fluctuate. Side hustles often require management and strong planning.

Side hustles can also expose teens to entrepreneurial skills which can be good for developing whats needed to succeed on your own. This could be challenging for teens that already have prior responsibilites, though.
