Students & Part-time Jobs

Helping students decide whether to work during school life or in university life is an important discussion that can have repercussions on their success in high school and beyond.

For some students, especially those in traditionally underserved populations, taking a job is not a matter of choice, but necessity. They need to work to save for college, or even to supplement family income. Counselors should help students who have a real need to work improve time-management skills and seek employment that helps their educational goals.

The benefits from taking part-time works is that, the students becomes more confident and possess better time-management skills than students who are not employed. In addition to offering a paycheck, some independence, and satisfaction, a part-time job can provide teenagers with both training and experience. This also can teaches them how to hold on to a responsibility given to them.

This will brings bad affect to their results in examination. So its better not to let them to have part-time job.
