What do you think about teenage students' having part-time jobs? |
Many students are eager to experience to have a real job and to be paid. In response to this attitude of students, adults express various opinion. Some of them think that having a part-time job is beneficial to students, on the other hand, others concern that it affect students in bad ways. I believe that if students have a part time job, students will get advantages from it. First, they can experience the real society and meet various people. Also, they will realize the value of money. In addition, it will be helpful for students to prepare their future. I will explain this in detail.
To begin with, doing a part-time job lets students experience the world outside school and diverse kind of people. Students spend very big amount of time in school. Therefore, they do not know about real society well. If they work with adults at a real workplace, they can experience very new things and they can expand the area of their friends. Let me take my experience for example, I used to work in a restaurant when I was in highschool year. While I worked in there I had somewhat harsh time. It was because I had made a lot of mistakes such as breaking glasses, spilling water and so on. It makes me be condemned by manager. At first, I could not adjust to those atmosphere since in school, making mistakes had never regarded as fatal as in a workplace. However, thanks to those experiences I was able to realize that in a real world, even a trivial mistake can make people depeat in a hard competition. In the moment I was scolded by my manager, I felt somewhat anger toward him. However, as being along with him, I became know that he was a good teacher who teach about a life, and even nowadays, I often talk with him on the phone and stay in a very good relationship.
Secondly, those experiences let students know about the importance of money. Of course, it is true that making money can deprive precious time of students which should spend in studying. However, I think that realizing how precious money is can be another form of learning. In my case, I used to go shopping with my friends and waste all the money with buying useless things because, then, I did not know about the hardship to earn money. However, after doing several part-time job, I became very careful when I buy something.
Last of all, having a part-time job offer students a chance to prepare their future. Students are concern about what to do after graduation. It is especially more difficult because they do not know the reality about the field that they want to be in. It is because students has never been to the field works. In this sense, it can be a precious opportunity to know jobs that doing the jobs. Actually, for this reasons, many students work in the job what they want to get after graduation during they are in schoolyears. This show that working a part-time job is beneficial for student to make decision what to do in future.
To sum up, there are so many merits when students get a part-time job. Through that opportunities, students experience the real society and can meet people not confined in classmates. Furthermore, students will realize the value of money. Also, they can prepare their future more efficiently working in the field where they want to work after graduation.
