While the booze is a nice plus and the campus eye candy is always welcome, we all know that college is primarily about expanding our educational journeys. However, we do not just learn inside a classroom environment. We do, in fact, learn at parties, in our homes and on all other college campus locations. Somewhere that students truly learn a lot in college is at the various jobs they hold.
Everybody is always talking about broke college kids, and even with a job it is true that money can come and go very quickly on campus. A few delivery meals here, a crazy night at the bar there and the purchase of textbooks and other class materials can burn a hole in our pockets easily. So, while college students still maintain jobs, #mo’moneymo’problems is still a thing.
Thinking about getting yourself a job before the semester wraps up? It’s a great idea for many reasons, but you should be aware of a few things before you apply.
One of the best things a student can gain from getting a job during the semester is the ability to perfect their time management. When I went on a tour of my school, the tour guide told our group that students who have part-time jobs tend to do better in school, since they block out time for studying that coincides with their work schedule. The lessons in self-accountability come naturally with getting a job.
