Why do students prefer doing part-time jobs during their studies? Do you think this has more advantages than disadvantages.

The vast majority of student prefer doing part

time

jobs during thir studies. I think that

this

type of

job

have more advantages than disadvantages.

Firstly

, nowadays more and more students need to earn a salary in order to be able to pay their studies.

Moreover

, in the

last

years, due to the inflaction, prices are going up so they need more money to study and to have a healty lifestyle. Recent researches show that in these days students purchase power is 30% lower compared to 20 years ago. To cite an example, I studied in Rome and while I worked for the entire course as a receptionist, that gave me the possibility to afford all my expenses and be autonomous.

Furthermore

, when students search for a

job

, they tend to prefer part-

time

jobs as most of the

time

they are more suitable to their study schedule. Part-

time

jobs normally offer: more flexibility, so students can attend their lessons, more free

time

,

thus

, they could study for more

time

and be prepared for exams, althougth, it offer a limited amout of money.

On the other hand

, Full-

time

jobs could give the opportunity to inmates to save some earnings for the future in spite of free

time

and flexibility.

For instance

, while I was studying, one of my friends used to work full

time

for an international company, and

as a result

he ended up his master 1 year later compared to me with a part-

time

job

. To sum up, I believe that having a part-

time

job

could help students to improve even more as they will have more

time

and more flexibility so they could reach better result.

Also

, I feel that both governments and universities should take seriuos measures in order to create a free and easy access to the

job

market for students.
