It has been suggested that, part-time jobs are becoming widely popular all around the globe among university students. Though there are some negative aspects, in my view, part-time jobs are far more beneficial for the pupils.
Working part-time gives the students an opportunity of earning some easy cash while providing real-life work experience. Students rely mainly on parental support and after all the educational expenditure it is impossible for them to have anything left for other needs. Part-time job proves very handy in that regard.
Similarly
, it can teach them the fundamentals of a place which will be certainly be9neficial in their future life once they start their real career.
For example
, when someone works somewhere, they learn to struggle within a schedule, how to effort in a team or to trial under pressure. These abilities undoubtedly upgrades as a potential employee.
On the contrary
, part-time profession may provide some hindrances in their way of life.
Firstly
, it can be an interruption to their study. Working, few or many hours, can put stress on the mind which may lead to both physical and mental exhaustion. As a consequence, perhaps study will be hampered.
Moreover
, there is a possibility of losing focus of study. Students will be more inclined towards money probably rather than their education. Another possible consequence of
this
practice is maybe a less period of time for recreation. It is already proven that if a student does not have any time for relaxation, students will not be able to fulfil their full potential in terms of academics.
However
, it goes without saying that
this
sort of job prohibits the heavy reliance on family and at the same time, increases students' self esteem. The feeling that I am capable of coping with the challenges offered by the real world lifts the spirit and boosts the confidence of a student manifolds.
Besides
, the family, burdened with higher education expense load, can let a sign of relief as the cost is now reduced.
For example
, in a survey carried out by university of Houston, USA showed that an overwhelming 85% parents felt that they are much better off when their university going children are working.
In sum, I firmly believe that the students should be encouraged to do part-time job as its benefits outnumber its demerits greatly.
