In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work, some people regard this a completely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking responsibility. What are your opinion on this?

Recently, the debate on whether

children

can benefit from being engaged in paid

work

has been heated. As far as I am concern, whether

students

can reap the benefit from working depends on the impact it has on their studies.

To begin

with, certain types of paid

work

can help teenagers to be more responsible.

For example

, when

children

are paid for doing some housework, usually parents will check the quality of the

work

afterwards. Setting the standard for the

work

can let youngsters know that they need to do every job carefully and need to bear the consequence of their carelessness. By doing so, young people can have a clear understand of the meaning of rules and try their best to obey them.

Therefore

,

students

will

also

know the great cost of dropping their

students

, which may encourage them to study harder eventually.

However

, paid

work

can sometimes exploit the chance for

children

to study. To illustrate

this

,

children

in the

third

world do not have any choice but to

work

in order to make a living. Since the job they do is usually low-skilled, the experience they can gain from working is very limited.

Moreover

, they cannot attend school once they choose to

work

, which means their future careers will

also

be limited by working at present. To conclude, some paid job can help encourage

students

to

work

harder on studying, while others may bar youngsters from receiving education. As the impact that education can bring to

students

is long term, whether

students

can be beneficial from working should not be concluded by present capital earned only.
