Workers’ Learning
Recently, as I was walking along the streets, I found many people were discussing something about work. However, they are not talking about getting a job or sharing their working experiences. Instead, they are fighting over whether students should have part-time jobs during the college years. Some people consider that students have responsibility for studying hard and it is not necessary to work, but I think that students should work throughout college and they can learn much from their work. Not only can students broaden their horizons, but they can become independent, despite some people’s claims to the contrary.
Some students do not want to be limited in the small campus and to be separated from the outside world. Then, working throughout college is a good way to lead a different life. While students are working, there are more chances to interact with different people. Therefore, students can learn how to keep a good relationship with the bosses, the colleagues and the clients. It is an important skill students cannot get at school. In contrast, some people think that if students work throughout college, maybe they will make bad friends in their working places and those guys will have a bad influence on them. However, I consider that it is a good learning experience for students to distinguish good people from bad people. Furthermore, it is helpful for them to adapt quickly to a new environment. For instance, originally, Sarah was so shy that she did not have much interaction with her classmates. However, after taking a job as a waitress, she becomes outgoing and confident. She not only makes more friends but becomes acquainted with her classmates now.
In addition to learning the crucial skill dealing with all types of people, working is effective to help students become independent. Some students are in need, so working is a practical way for them to earn money and to improve their quality of life. Moreover, while working, students learn many working skills and learn how to solve problems by themselves. In the meantime, they get a sense of accomplishment from their work. On the other hand, some people claim that students will use the pay to lead lives of pleasure, such as buying expensive clothes or spending too much money on recreation. However, I consider that most students will learn how to deal with money well rather than wasting money. To illustrate, Cherry depended on her parents in many aspects formerly. However, many changes have taken place after she becomes a tutor. Now she has to solve many difficulties by herself and she leads a more independent life than before. Particularly, she donates parts of her pay to help the poor so I admire what she does.
Despite the fact that there are many advantages for students to work throughout college, some people still claim that it is not good for students. They support their claims by arguing that students are supposed to study hard so it is not necessary to waste time on working. But such arguments miss one important point: it is certain that students should work hard in college, but students’ life should not completely be occupied by their study. Instead, they can keep balance between their studies and other activities if they use time well. Therefore, it is not an excuse to claim that there is not enough time to study if they work. For example, Cindy works four days in a week but she still does well at her studies. She tells me that she does time management well and that is why she can keep balance between her work and her studies.
Some students believe that spending time on part-time jobs will lower students’ grades. Conversely, students who work throughout college learn how to deal with many kinds of people, how to confront the difficulties by themselves, and how to live a balanced life. They become more confident and independent. Most important of all, they have some precious experiences than others.
