There is a growing tendency these days for students to take part-time jobs, even though they are following full-time higher-education courses. Many people criticize this on the grounds that working even part-time interferes with their studies and gives them little or no useful experience. Besides, they say, the little extra money they earn does not compensate for the fatigue incurred by working and studying at the same time.
But it seems to me that working at a part-time job is useful for helping a student or learn how to arrange his or her time properly. We must all learn to plan our time so that we do not become absorbed in one single task, no matter how important it is. In later life, the student will have to be able to balance the demands of a career with the demands of his or her family, and at the same time handle unexpected crises.
Whether or not a part-time job is useful for a student’s future career depends on the type of job chosen. The wisest choice, of course, would be a job connected with what the students intends to do after graduation, and which would allow him or what the students intends to do after graduation, and which would allow him or her to gain invaluable “grassroots” experience. If possible, the job should involve fresh air and exercise, so that the student gets a refreshing break from studying.
As for the money earned from part-time jobs, I firmly believe that it is not only useful but also necessary nowadays for students no matter how little. Tuition fees and the prices of books, not to mention the cost of living, are soaring by the day. as a result, sometimes even a small sum of extra money can make all the difference between passing or failing a course.
To sum up, I agree that full-time student should take part-time jobs. Working while studying teaches the student good time-management habits and can provide useful career experience. Most students need extra money, and if the jobs are chosen properly they can be benefit not only the student’s pockets. But their health and studies as well.
