<p>I have spent most of my time on computer after class. Therefore, I plan to have a part time job to make my life more meaningful, but so far, Is it good for me to have one? Or should I just focus on my studying?</p>
<p>get a job —> earn cash —> spend cash</p>
<p>i dont see why not. just notice when your on your computer and figure some hours of flexibility. then put your application in somewhere and bam. cash!</p>
<p>There are two good kinds of jobs out there:
a) Library/desk job=Enforced, paid study time
b) really cool job that gives you practical experience in your subject…</p>
<p>Holding a job while studying is considered a benefit by employers - and for me it also puts a lot of structure in my days - so I even get better grades.</p>
<p>Thanks for responsing!
Yes, I think you’re right for there’s no reason to say no. Maybe I can enjoy applying a job, having a job, and earning money at last. Also, I can buy something for myself with bounties.</p>
<p>Thanks for responsing, too.
Wow! My dad has the same view as you told me that having such part time jobs are pretty good. The jobs not only can provide me an practical experience but learn something from the jobs.
Maybe I will give it a try.</p>
<p>The benefits of a part-time job are discussed frequently on the parent forums.</p>
<p>Having a part-time job means that you can follow directions, show up on time, deal with administrative issues and, perhaps, work with customers. For students, jobs where you have a lot of time where you can study are ideal. The library desk job where you check out books and give help from time to time leaves a lot of time for studying. A front-desk job in the residence halls can allow you to study most of the time. You might enjoy tutoring where you help a lot of students so that you get some built-in social interaction with others.</p>
<p>When you go to apply for internships and jobs, having a job history really helps because the employer knows that you know what working is like. You will also have an advantage over other students that have no job history.</p>
<p>I’ve had one (completely by choice, my parents didn’t want me to have one at first because they were worried it would interfere with my studying) throughout college - I absolutely recommend it.
Some days it really is just “paid study time” and other times I’m learning things that are great to put on a resume. Plus you get to interact with your college’s staff and start making great networking connections.</p>
<p>I say go for it, and if it doesn’t work out, campus employers are pretty understanding that you are in school to be a student, not their employee.</p>
