Part-time Jobs

      I think college students should take part-time jobs, because I think it is an important of college life. The most basic reason is money. In college, we have to disburse tuition, living expenses, and other extra cost. However, the total during the years of college is not a low number; we should not all depend on our families. According to a study from Education Research and Evaluation Center in National Taiwan Normal University, majority of students think that the most important factor to taking part-time jobs is economic situation.
     Another reason I support is that it is a chance to learn. With the processes of part-time jobs, we can learn not only the abilities about the jobs but also attitude and the methods of dealing with others. Take me for an example; I have taken a part-time job in a coffee shop for a short time. In addition to the affairs and the ways to make meals, I can also learn how to cope with guests and my co-workers. Therefore, I think we can learn lots of what we cannot learn from textbooks. We may encounter some difficulties and frustrations; however, it is also a good chance to become much stronger and sturdier, isn’t it?
     Finally, taking part-time jobs is beneficial; however, we should estimate our abilities and time. We should not focus on part-time jobs too much to ignore studies and the interaction with classmates. On the premise that we understand what we do and know how we arrange our time, we take part-time jobs.
