One
of the biggest things a student must figure out upon entering school is
what to do with all that time. Free to schedule as they please and free
from the obligations of life at home, students find themselves with a
wealth of time they may or not have.
They
are things which you might consider working. First, if you want to be
cool and go out with your classmates and buy some cool stuff, well you
need money!
By getting a job, you get money. Of course, you have to work to it, but still, it can – and probably will – be useful. There is not only money to consider though. Experience is an important asset for after finishing you school. When you work during your school year and add it to your resume, it will show your future employers that you are able to manage to pursue two activities at the same time, or more if you are involved elsewhere. Another interesting thing to consider is the contacts you might make by working. By contacts, I mean people that can be useful to you later in life. If you have different jobs, you make new references you can later add to your CV along with the experience. In addition, if you are lucky enough to get a job in your area of studies, it may later become a permanent job.

The
main disadvantage on your life is that you will have less time for
schoolwork – and social life of course. This also means you get less
free time to just hang out, party, or do other stuff than work and
study. This is an important part of your life if you don’t want to go
all crazy! It is also important if you want to be cool. Having also can
also add another source of stress to your life. Depending on the type of
job you are looking for, you may get a boss that always wants more
hours and presses you to be more available. One of the things you can do
is to set your self a maximum number of hours you want to work per week
and make this clear with you employer at the beginning of the year.
My
biggest recommendation is not to rush into anything. It’s perfectly
acceptable to spend the first few weeks of school adjusting and having
fun, and then slide a job into the mix when you’ve grown comfortable
with everything else. Finally, never allow an outside job to get in the
way of your health and school years in general. While work may keep you
motivated and get you needed money. It’s not worth losing your
education or well being over. Obtain what you need, but if you feel
yourself slipping take some time off, or find a better place to work.
You’ll have plenty of time to work post school
