Advantages and disadvantages of studentsworking while studying
Many
students
have to work
part-time during their education. Working amid studying has some benefits as well as some drawbacks. In this
essay, we try to discuss it.
Firstly
, to mention the disadvantage of working while studying, some students
are not wealthy enough to entirely focus on their education. If they want to pay for their expenses, they have to either work
or get financial support from their parents. For this
reason, imagine a student who is looking for some part-time jobs somewhere irrelevant to their educational environment, such
as cafes, restaurants, or even as a dog walker. Consequently
, their concentration wavers between job and university. Therefore
, this
causes many difficulties for a pupil.
On the other hand
, having part-time occupations may help students
to be independent and even hone some other skills rather than just studying. Some of them have the chance to find some industrial jobs that are related to their studies. Hence
, they will learn many new applicable techniques besides
acquiring academic knowledge. For example
, when I was a PhD student, I used to work
as a private tutor for elementary students
. During my teaching, I could learn many things such
as the way to teach them, how to take on new responsibilities, and so on. Thus
, with this
perspective, students
can try to master new skills besides
studying.
To conclude, although
some students
are fully supported by their parents, some others have to work
parallelly to their studies. Despite the pros that are discussed about them, they need to think about the cons carefully.Submitted by VD
