The Benefits of Part-Time Jobs for Students |

|
In today's modern society, people are increasingly burdened with the uncertain
economic effects of modernization. Almost everyone uses gadgets such as
smartphones to face their daily routines. In addition, the rising cost of basic
necessities such as food, drinks, and clothing has put economic pressure on
society. As a result, some students are forced to take on part-time jobs to meet
their own economic needs and lighten the burden on their parents. This situation
can be seen especially in higher education institutions and during long school
holidays. If we look at it from a positive point of view, there are various
benefits of working part-time for students. Therefore, it is appropriate to
discuss these benefits for the well-being of students, parents, and national
leaders.
One of the benefits of working part-time while studying at university or during
school holidays is that it can fill their free time with useful activities.
Nowadays, we can see through the media that young people are caught up in
negative trends such as illegal racing, drug abuse, and gangsterism. However,
this polemic can be avoided if they use their free time to work part-time at
restaurants, shopping centers, and so on. Furthermore, as a student, they will
have less time to do meaningless things other than studying and then working
part-time. At first, they may feel tired because of the energy and time used for
themselves, but later they will understand that the actions they take are
beneficial for themselves. As the Malay proverb goes, "Rowing upstream, swimming
to shore, suffering first, and enjoying later."
Another benefit that students will gain when working part-time is that they can
improve their personal skills. This is important because as they approach
adulthood, students need to hone their personal skills, especially communication
skills, to become confident individuals. These social skills are also important
for students when they enter the working world later on. In addition, students
will also gain new skills in the type of work they do. For example, when working
as a restaurant server, they will learn about dining etiquette, managing orders,
and so on. This experience is valuable if students realize it and can implement
it in their future lives. In conclusion, working part-time while studying as a
student can improve their personal skills because the sea they tap into will
never run dry.
At the same time, part-time jobs can help students financially. It is common
knowledge that some students work because of a lack of financial support, but
some work part-time just to earn extra money for personal satisfaction. Whatever
the student's intention is for working part-time, make sure the money or salary
earned is used wisely. Some may use it to cover the cost of university tuition
or rent and motorcycle expenses, for example. Some students will save that
money, as the saying goes, "Prepare an umbrella before it rains." Others may use
it to have fun doing activities with friends. This action can help to reduce the
financial burden that has been borne by parents indirectly and, to a certain
extent, cultivate students to be independent and learn to manage their finances
better. In short, working part-time as a student can strengthen their financial
aspects as well as their families.
Finally, students who work part-time can develop good discipline. If they work,
they must manage their time to study and rest well. By doing so, they will be
able to achieve their academic goals and perform well at their part-time jobs.
In addition, this good discipline will also help them to become better
individuals in their future lives.
In conclusion, there are several benefits of working part-time for students. By
working part-time, students can fill their free time with useful activities,
improve their personal skills, gain financial independence, and develop good
discipline. |
