Think Together

Should Students Be Allowed To Work?

Two students are discussing
if they should have part-time jobs.

Jane: A student’s job is to learn and study.
If they get a part-time job,
they will be distracted from their main responsibility
as a student and feel more stressed.
They should consider working after graduating from school.
Tom: Students with part-time jobs learn to be independent
and improve time management skills.
They learn about spending money wisely, too.
Once they graduate, their early work experience
will come in handy when looking for work as adults.
