More and more students are doing part-time work. Students working part time usually have a positive attitude toward this extra -curriculum experience. Besides earning some money to support themselves, they can learn a lot which cannot be learned from textbooks. They will learn to get along with different kinds of people, get useful working experiences and learn the value of labor.
However, there are also some disadvantages in students doing part-time work. For example, too much work may cut into students' study time when they should get the best out of their college life and lay a good foundation for their future work. Another disadvantage is that money earned, if not properly used, may lead to some bad habits, or even greed.
Good or bad, it is not easy for students to get part-time jobs in China now. Even if they do get some work, it is often badly paid. This is due to the deep-rooted tradition in our country. To change the situation, the society should develop a fresh look at students doing part-time work and provide them with opportunities in applying what they learn in classroom to the real life situation of our society. |
