This paper looks at the experiences of sixth and seventh form secondary school students who work pan-time. The research is based in the Wellington region and focuses on the students' knowledge of employment contracts, pay and working conditions, reasons for working, and the effect of working on the students' schooling. I will present results from the first part of my research - a written questionnaire distributed to over 200 students in paid work.
