Advantages and Disadvantages
of Having a Part-time Job
At present, more and more university students are doing part-time jobs.They work as shop aistants, salespersons, waiters and so on.Like everything else, having a part-time job has both favorable and unfavorableaspects.Generally, the advantages can be listed as follows.
First, students can have the chance of earning pocket money and thus reduce their parents’ financial burden.In addition, they can give full play to their profeional knowledge and skills.Above all, by watching and studying society, they can gain an insight into things that their textbooks can never teach them.Thus, they can form their own thoughts and become mature.
But every coin has two sides.The disadvantages of having a part-time job are also obvious.To begin with, students may have le time to relax or feed themselves mentally.They may feel university life is tiring and uninteresting.To make matters worse, some students have not enough time to review their leons and they will fall behind others in study.Worst of all, some students regard earning money rather than acquiring knowledge as more important.Through above analysis, I believe that the positive aspects the negative aspects.Therefore, to a certain degree, students will benefit a lot from their part-time jobs if they can keep a good balance between part-time jobs and studying.
