people who oppose the idea of students taking part time jobs say that students should use their time to focus on exclusively on studying. I would argue instead that part-time jobs helps students focus on their studies, provides valuable practical experience, and allows them a feeling of success and independence that is a perfect complement to their academic pursuits. A popular criticism of schools is that they are ivory towers, or places where study and research are divorced from the real world. A part-time job related to their major gives students an exciting chance to apply the theories they have learned in school. Chemistry is a notoriously abstract, boring, difficult subject. When a student takes a part-time job in a medical research lab, however, he/she might discover how important studying Chemistry is for saving peoples lives. This student might then return to his/her Chemistry studies with renewed vigor. What was an abstract academic pursuit becomes a concrete and interesting goal with a real relationship to the students life. part-time jobs also help students strengthen their resumes, build important contacts with companies, and familiarize them with the contemporary state of their respective fields. No matter how hard they try, Computer Science textbook publishers cannot keep up with the rapid development of new computer hardware, software, and programming languages. C.S. students who wish to maintain a competitive edge in the job market should find part-time positions where they can learn state-of-the-art techniques. After they graduate from college, they might then return to their part-time employer to look for a full-time position, or approach other employers with good references and cutting-edge work experience. Finally, the feeling of success that comes from holding a part-time job can build students confidence. Knowing that they can do a job well and be paid for it is an important character-building experience that many students put off for too long. Learning to manage the money that they make will be a critical part of their future lives. If they make mistakes handling their money in college, the results will probably not be disastrous, but will teach them valuable lessons that they will be sure to remember in the future, when they will be truly independent.
反对学生参加兼职工作的人说，学生应该利用自己的时间专注于学习。我会认为，兼职工作可以帮助学生专注于学业，提供有价值的实践经验，并让他们有一种成功和独立的感觉，这对他们的学术追求是一个完美的补充。一个受欢迎的批评是，他们是象牙塔，或在那里学习和研究的地方脱离了现实世界。一份与他们专业相关的兼职工作给了学生一个很兴奋的机会去申请他们在学校所学的理论。化学是一个出了名的抽象、枯燥、难学的学科。当一个学生在医学研究室做兼职，但他/她可能会发现学习化学的重要，是为了挽救人们的生命。这名学生可能会再回到他/她的化学研究，重新焕发活力。什么是抽象的学术追求成为一个具体的和有趣的目标与现实的关系，学生的生活。兼职工作也有助于学生加强简历，与公司建立重要联系，使他们熟悉各自领域的现状。不管他们如何努力，计算机科学教科书出版商不能跟上新的计算机硬件，软件和编程语言的快速发展。该学生谁希望保持在就业市场上的竞争优势应该找兼职岗位，他们可以学习最新技术。他们毕业后，他们可能会返回他们的兼职雇主寻找一个全职的职位，或接近其他雇主有良好的参考和尖端的工作经验。最后，一个来自于兼职工作的成功的感觉可以培养学生的自信心。他们知道他们可以做一个工作，并为它支付，这是一个重要的性格建设的经验，许多学生推迟了太久。学习管理他们所做的钱是他们未来生活中的一个关键部分。如果他们犯了错误处理他们的钱在大学，结果将可能不是灾难性的，但会教他们宝贵的经验教训，他们将一定要记住的未来，当他们将是真正的独立。
