As always, part time job is more independent than the full time job. Part time job is one of the things that are popular among students. A growing number of students spend their after-school time for the part time job. This phenomenon gives rise to a concern about “ Is it good for students to do a part time job?”. As far as I’m concerned, the answer to this question is affirmative. My view point can be supported by the following cases.
First of all, the direct impact on the students is appreciation. It is because part time job is a challenge for the students who were never in the society before. They will appreciate their parents for what they gave them and cherish it. For example, I didn’t take a part time job until the last summer vacation, my job is asking some strangers who were interested about English or wanted their child to learn English for their phone numbers, and gave these numbers to an English organization. It was so hard for me that I needed to hand out 3 phone numbers every night. After 2 months’ hard work, I learned that earning money is very difficult, and I’m more thankful for my parents after the last summer vacation.
Secondly, the part time job can give students the experience which they will never be able to get from the textbooks. A part time job can contribute to enhancing their sociality ability, practical ability and so on. Imagine such a scene: your boss wants you to have a dinner with the clients, but you are so bad at interpersonal skills. You don’t know the real meaning in the clients’ words, and you said something inappropriate at this dinner. Probably you will lose this business, maybe your boss will kick you out or never put you in an important position.
But in another hand, too much time on part time job is detrimental to students’ study. For students, studying is the most important thing that they should care about. If they fail to manage their time to study, the undesirable consequences would occur, such like failing the tests.
From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that part time job can produce optimistic influence on the students. There is a saying goes:”everything has its good and bad facets.” So, if the students can schedule their time appropriately, the part time job should be accepted. What’s more, taking part time job is favorable to themselves, families and even the society as whole. That’s why I think having a part time job is a good thing to the students.
