On Part-time Jobs

People have different views on whether college students should take part-time jobs. I think part- time jobs have both their advantages and disadvantages.

First, part-time jobs may offer students an opportunity to display their ability and help them apply their knowledge in practice, and in return, their experience will make them know better what they have learned in class and books.

Second, part-time jobs in business can foster a sense of competition, which they need in future. Part-time jobs make students more confident in themselves because through the work they can realize their own value and prove that they are capable　people.

Third, it helps students develop a sense of independence, and helps relieve their parents’ economic burdens. With the money earned, they can buy whatever they need for their study.However, part-time jobs often distract students’ attention from their studies, and some students even play truant. It is evident that they can hardly focus　their attention on their study if they work several hours on the job, for they　may be preoccupied with how to improve their work most of the time. Though students who have part -time jobs may relieve their parents’ economic burdens, their　early contact with society may expose them to some social ills.

Owing to the advantages and disadvantages involved in working part-time, students have to strike a balance between their study and the job. The main task of students is to study hard and learn what is needed for their future career, social experience can be gained after graduation.
