The topic that i choose is regarding students. But, it's clearly not involving school, it's about students having a part-time job. So, is it allowable for them to have it?
Part time job can be considered as a disadvantages for the students by some part of our community. They say that part time jobs may slow down the learning process, wasting times for studying and disturbing the social life. They also think that by having the part time jobs, the students might lost focus on archiving their future goal because some other reasons that make no sense. Well, of course those who have the part time jobs have to work out twice the others, they have to deal to their school life, and the after-school life where they have their part-time jobs, with stable. The students who apply the part time jobs are most likely due to these several reasons, which are first, it can be as financial assistance, second, it acts as the gaining-experience mechanism and last but not least, it can be done for the learning to people's hardship to survive in life.
The first reason why students are allowed to have the part-time job is because of the money itself. People need to have money, so do the students. Students especially the tertiary students and those who lives independently at hostels or rent a place to stay are facing a hard time in managing the electric and water bills, vehicles gas and also the students' expenses, thus they have to face the financial problems monthly. Plus, the cost of living that might increase from time to time is also one of the things that they have to put in mind. They tend to solve or so-called 'running' from the situation by paying those bills and fees after borrowing some notes from their family members and relatives, and some of them had to meet the loan sharks or debtors. This is an absolute no-no. So, I thought that jobs can produce money and because of they are still studying, I suggested that they just have to do something that they are able to do, they able to afford, which is applying part-time jobs. This way, they will gain their own allowance, pay off all the bills and have extra pocket money. It's great, isn't it? The students will eventually reduce the probability of meeting the life-eaters (the debtors) and lessen up the family's burden. The money can be saved as an emergency use too. For instant, if the students suddenly felt sick or occur any incidents that harmed them physically or any destruction like house on fire, or another flood phenomenon, the students can use the saved money. They can feel a little bit secure with the extra money that the had.
So, we're off to the second one.
Next, students can gain extra knowledge and experiences and develop good characteristics when engaging their self in part time jobs. I talk about the knowledge and experiences stuffs first. So, what do you think are the skills that the students might gain from having a part time jobs? (YUP, you guessed right) The most obvious one is the soft skill. Soft skills include speaking, converse and communicate with people, adapt in the situation. By having those soft skills, the students will automatically trained to be good in front of the people, they can easily adapt the vibes of all kind of people. For example, the students who work as a waiters or cashiers or sales assistances, their working environments can change their way of speak, treating peoples based on different ages. In fact, they also will know how to handle 'this' kind of customers/peoples with 'this' kind of treatment. Compare to those who do not take any part time job, these students can face a more critical situations than them, due to the experiences that they gain from the jobs. In addition, they are able to have a smoother conversation when dealing with outside people compare to the non-working kids. Besides, the skill that they have based on different types of job is also considered as new knowledge for them. Another point for them. Oh, before I forget, I haven't touch the discipline part. Those who have experienced work would have the ability to manage time, a little step better than those who have not. That is the impact of disciplined one self. It can trained people to be more precise, more advance and more mature. By having the part time job, the students are exposed to a lot of new things, new kind of environment. They meet a lot of people and thus, can afford a bunch of contacts, regarding with jobs and works. They will recognize and learn about other companies, how the business works and so on. With the acquire skills, the confidence that build and the networks of contacts, the students can clarify their goals in the future -- to choose the right sector of working.
Finish with the second points, now down to the last point.
The third reason why a student is allowed to have the part time job is because they will get the chance to learn the people's hardship in the survival of life. I would to stress on the idea of the this last point. To those who have the part time job will not only physically grown up, but their mental also will go through a new level. They have been exposed to the real world of working, they meet people that works with them, and face the much more challenging living phase than any other kids. They obviously have and will face extra pressure in their life, which they need to focus in school, and at their working place. Because of that, they grown up to be more mature, they have endure a lot of pain. They will learn how to appreciate all the hard-work, all the effort that people put in order to gain money, wealth. They will develop the self-conscious on handling the money itself. They are just not going to waste their sweat and tears that easily afterward. They tend to spend wiser, and safe for the future. They realize the hardship on surviving through out the life. Eventually, they will develop responsibility in their self. They will work with efficiently in every task that they receive, both in work and school. So, it shows that the part time job really gives more benefits for the students.
In conclusion, the part time job really is a handful towards the kids these days. It can act as the financial assistance, the mechanism on gaining new experiences, knowledge and also meet new contacts. It also happen to help the students to learn on the hardship of the people around the world in surviving in life. So, i once again going to repeat my stand which is: Part time job is absolutely allowed for students.
