Students Should Not Take On a Part Time Job

The whole world is experiencing another wave of economic .Students nowadays seem like also being affected ,they start doing part time job in restaurant, shopping center or other else to earn some money. The phenomena to see students do the part time job has become common. However, having a part time job will disturb a student`s routine and bring a lot of disadvantages.

First of all, the result of students who are working part time job will be directly affected. Students nowadays are required to overcome a lot of homework as well as tuition class. Furthermore there are some students who study in science class are required to cover up 10subject. By working they will lack of time to study as some of them will work till late night and neglect their studies as well. Even though some of them do not skipped the class and attend to school every day, when they are at school, they will most likely to fell asleep and hard to concentrate in class .It consequently affect their performance in examination as they will have no time to revise their learning and let them feel desperate. Worst of all is when they are giving up in their studies and decided to work as their priorities. It is clear to see part time job will affect a student routine in school.

Moreover, doing part time job will make students distracted with extra money which that earn.Teenagers are tending to spend their salary unnecessary. For instance, girls will chase over the trendy dress and branded shoes while boy will purchase computer accessories to play game that cost a lot. They will buy something that they do not need in their age, we cannot leave them to be the slave of the fashion. In addition,  they might be lost control as having a lot of freedom to have part time job.They will be affected by their friends to hang around outside. The parents do not know whom they are being friends to, so it is dangerous to let them free without being controlled. Bad friends’ influences will lead to unhealthy social activities. At first, they will return home late night because of loitering around. We are afraid they will start to learn smoking, illegal racing and even getting drunk. If they are getting carried away, they will be one of them who are making troubles to the society. Thus, those who are distracted by extra money and freedom earned, they will most likely to be influenced by bad peers.

Last but not least, students were paid not enough during part time job. It cant be so helpful and efficious to reduce their financial burden. It is not worth to increase their workload and become stress for slight of money. One day only has 24 hours, after minus the time that use to sleep, eat, bath and school, we only left about 6 hours. If the students go to do part time job ,there are no more chance to allocate part of their time for having entertainment. Students are still a teenagers that need mentally health and physically health, they should take more outdoor activities instead of do part time job. There is no any parents want to see that their child  has a stressful and over toil childhood and keep worried about the financial problem. As far as I'm concerned it is not worthwhile to allot their time to such a cheap work.

a nut shell, through students do pat time job can earn some money. However I still firmly disagree to let students to do part time job during study as it will lead to their own misery and burden them more.
