Education in most countries is not free, especially if a
student
is pursuing higher secondary education.
Such
university education can get expensive as the
student
has to pay for his tuition, accommodation, food, travelling, study material etc.
Hence
, many students resort to
part
time
jobs in their universities or at a local store to cover up for the expense. While
this
approach would prove beneficial for the students, it would make them more responsible and help
gain
the required
work
experience
, many would argue it to be wrong and students must only focus on their studies. In my opinion, students must enrol themselves for a
part
time
job and the essay would elaborate its advantages and prove that it outweighs the negative implications.
Students, while studying at any university, tend to spend almost a quarter of their day attending lectures and tutorials.
have to report to
work
soon after their classes are over, to avoid late reporting penalties.
This
accounts for a tight schedule and often students do not have sufficient
time
for studying nor can they afford to some leisure
time
. All of these cumulatively results in a lot of stress,
thus
negatively impacting the
student
's performance.
For example
, 30% of the students of the Cambridge University, performing
part
time
jobs, reported that they do not get sufficient
time
to study.
Thus
, managing
time
between job, tuition and recreation gets difficult for a
student
ultimately affecting his performance due to stress build-up.
However
, he can easily overcome
this
situation by properly managing his
time
and planning out his activities in advance so as to avoid
last
minute rush.
On the other hand
, students who enrol for a
part
time
employment
gain
the valuable
work
experience
which is required to find a good job, after the completion of their studies.
Such
employment
also
makes the students more responsible, as they have to study for their exams and earn to support themselves, at the same
time
.
Moreover
, when students are working alongside their colleagues, they
also
learn about the importance of
team cooperative work done by a team (especially when it is effective)
work
, which is an important trait which the employers look for while hiring any candidate.
For instance
, according to the survey conducted by the National Employment Agency in Canada, nearly 80,000 respondents out of 90,000 stated they value the candidate's ability to solve problems,
work
as a
team
and perform critical analysis, more than their academics.
Hence
, working in a
part
time
jobs help students in many ways,
that is
by making them responsible, helping them
gain
experience
and learn about
team cooperative work done by a team (especially when it is effective)
work
.
In conclusion, the fact that working in a
part
time
employment makes the
student
's schedule quite hectic
fallsundergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind
weak as the students could plan ahead and efficiently utilize
time
to be more productive.
Secondly
, working as a
part
time
employer, helps them
gain
experience
all the while teaching them valuable skills like
team
work
and making them act more responsibly. Due to the above reasons, students must be encouraged to join
part
time
jobs.
