Working in College


I found an article online about how in today’s world, parents expect their children to work during college to alleviate some of the financial burden that is college tuition. I firmly believe that people should work during school. I personally work 35 hours per week between two jobs. While that is not for everyone, it helps if one of the jobs is on campus. Studies have shown that more students are becoming part time workers to help pay for their bills during college. I know that college can be very expensive and very stressful, especially if you have a job during that time. I believe that having a job and being a full time student allows me to be a better multi-tasker. I think that students should have jobs during college. I have had a job since my junior year in high school. Also, having a job gives you extra money to save for after college. With that said, it also gives you an appreciation for money and the fact that you have to work hard for it. From my personal experience, I feel that I work hard to earn my money. There are a few people I know that do not work, but their parents pay for everything for them. They have no respect for money, and probably never will. While having a job during college is not for everyone, I recommend it to help you now, and in the furture.

  1. Having to work while in college helps you to be more responsible with a lot of things. One good point is that, you tend to be more conscious regarding your expenses and savings. In that way, you become more mature when it comes to handling your money, teaching you how, and what to prioritize.
