What are some POVs?
Increases stress
Having work at same time makes it hard to
keep up with studies
Education should come first
Helps keep grades up because they aren't stressed
out from having a job
Helps gain life skills
Helps students learn how to manage time and save money
My opinion
Should have 1-2 jobs to learn to manage time
but also have time to relax
Gives students life skills, but
at the same time, lets them have fun
What do experts say?
Students should work
Don't work over
10 hours per week
Leads to decreased
academis success
There should be
balance and moderation
Should allow for participation in extracurricular
activities and spending time with family
If it doesn't, it may not be a wise decision
