Should students take part-time jobs?

In recent years, more and more students take part-time jobs during their spare time, and it has become a controversial topic whether students should take part-time jobs or not?

Those who argue for it believe that, in their part-time job, students can put what they have learned in the school into practice, find the gap between book knowledge and social needs as well as acquire more needed skills, thus improving their ability and gaining practical experience, which is of great benefits when they are hunting for jobs in the near future. Besides, part-time job can strengthen students’ ability to deal with problems and broaden their horizons. After all, as a student, what he or she can learn in the school is theoretical and limited. Moreover, by part-time job, students can earn some money to support their school life, so they can reduce their parents’ pressure to make money. However, the opponents think that study is students’first priority, they should pay all of their attention to their study. In addition, education today is much more complex and difficult, doing part-time job will cost much time, delay their leaning and make bad impact on their grades. From my point of view, whether students should take part-time job depends on the actual situation. If a student doesn’t have heavy courses and wants to improve himself, he can take. But those with much courses and tasks had better devotedly focus on their study.
