Did you have a part time job when you were still a student?

Hello p3ks626, yes I did have a part time job in the major I was in and also had to do 2 co-ops for the major I was taking. I went to Drexel University back in 1980s and mine was the first college demanding you had a computer on college it was the Macintosh... How fare we have as come from students to parents and now sending both my daughters off to college this fall and me being empty nester... It is all good. Thanks and have a great day! Sincerely unique16

I still like part time ..business...and jobs.. I'm teaching in a parallel college as ma part time job..I own a computer h/w shop ma part time business... and for enjoyment with some earning...I do myLotting... thanks for the topic.. have a great day/night.....

I did.I was dancing then in a professional company while studying.That was the only way to do it so that I could still study while following my passion.It was not easy because I would be too sleepy in the classroom almost everyday especially when our performances were on going and sometimes they happen in an exam week.But I passed college anyway.Not with flying colors but with so much pride and dignity.I would often hear my classmates giving all their own excuses as to why they were not able to do their paperwork and i would just silently congratulate myself to have been able to submit it on time no matter how bad it looked.All in all it was a great adventure and until now I'm just so used to multi tasking and pressure!

Hi, when i was at college i had a part time job at weekend waitressing at a local hotel that held a lot of weddings, parties etc. During holidays i got a job at a local factory packing fish fingers mind numbingly boring but it paid well.

When I was a student I worked part time, and then full time at an Ice Rink. It was the best job I ever had. I got fully trained in the skill of ice prep, and am now a trained ice technician. I also learned how to ice skate, sharpen skates, and drive a Zamboni! All skills I will never use again, but its something I know I can do, and fall back of if I have too! The best thing is, I applied for this job randomly, I was desperate for a job and just applied. I had never been to an ice rink before, and couldn't even skate! Basically what I am saying is sometimes, it isn't about applying for a job you think will help you in the long run, it is about trying something new that is different from your studies! Taking a job that is different from what your classes are in will help you find balance, and give you a break from just school!

Hi p3ks626, Yes, I always worked while in school. I began babysitting at age 11 and by the time I was 15 I was working a regular part-time job and still keeping up with my studies. I think it helped me to manage my money as well as learn some work ethics. If I did not have the job,I doubt I would have been doing more studying. I imagine I would have been out and doing something that my parents would not have approved of so it is probably good that I was working. It somewhat (not entirely) kept me out of trouble.

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I think I have been doing a part time job when I was still at school as a student. For me, when I was still a student, I just ry my best to take some pratice in the society in order to make some extra mone. What is more, I still can try my best to pratice myself.I usually enjoy the part time job that I am doing!

I got my first job when I was 14, and worked all the way through high school. I worked in a couple restaraunts, and then worked in a grocery store for a long time. I don't think it had a negative impact on my grades or studying, I did very well in school. In fact, I think that it helped once I got older because I had years of work experience.

Iam a working students before, although it so hard to be on that situation, I have no regrets.It can help you to be as tough as you can, be systematic and knows to handle your time by learning to prioritize.Our parents will never allows us to do it as much as possible. but in my situation, I know I have to do it even they don't permitted me because I know they have a hard time sending us to college . Three kids on a college is a big expense. That is why I have to make my own move. I do it and Iam proud to my self." No one can ever pay the feeling of having a diploma and a degree.". Time management is the best solution, so that it will never affect your studies a lot.

I have a part time job in school my elementary teacher always ask me to sale the rice cake at the price of one peso so for me to have a extra income at 1 peso I sale it for one cent and fifty centavo so i will have extra and I always join singing contest at the Barangay every fiesta to earn more money and I sale Ice candy on my spare time Saturday and Sunday. Now I ask kids to sale halo halo in front of the house to have extra money so that they can buy whatever they need and save some for them...

yah thats what i thought...i do agree..but no i dont have a part time job though thats what i really wanted to do when i was still a student...i would would encourage my kids to do that to make them realized the value of money

I did, but it was a charity work. I'm teaching guitar, drum and keyboard lesson in our church where i did not accept any payment. (good boy!) There's a lot of options now a days, so it wont be hard for you to look for a part time job suite to your interest. ;)

Last semester was my first year of college. I worked 30 hrs a week. It is part time where I work, but a lot of places part time is like 20 hrs a week or less. I made deans list the first semester with mainly all A's and one B+ I beliieve. My second semester, I got all b's. You just need to focus on your school work when you are not working. I work as a cashier at a Walmart supercennter. It isn't the best, but the hours can drag if it isn't busy. You can do it if you really want to.

Same here. I was too focus on studying that when I have finished college there are still so many things that I have not learn. Also, I think I have problem in dealing with people and I blame it for not being exposed to work at an early age. Experience is a great teacher and If only they had permitted me to have a part time job , well maybe I am a better person today. Anyway, even though I have this regrets I still thank them because I was able to finish my studies and I am sure that there is a future waiting for me.

Yeah, but I still AM a student and I have a job at the Wendy's near my college. I also myLot as a way to make some extra cash. It's a great way to earn the money to save towards your tuition and the loans that paid for it. It's also a nice way to get some of the things your parents don't buy you anymore (like video games and stuff). It hasn't done anything to my studies I still have straight A's (with an occasional B) at a legitimate college.

I did a part time job in an internet cafe when I was a student, at the same time I was a Working scholar at school. Had a hectic schedule that time but it was worth it. Bottomline is, its all about time management and how you carry yourself towards the day.

I believe that when you are first starting out (freshmen) you should not have any job because you need to first develop a system of when the bust study methods and times are for you and once you have gotten the hang of this then you can opt to take on more responsibility. I started school with a full time and although I did a very good job at both, I was struggling, tired and frustrated. It was not easy and I wish I would have had the chance to focuse on one or the other. You can do both but you stand the chance of going through school just getting by and not really understanding or grasping what you are there to learn because your focus is divided.

I am still studying, also I am doing a better online job. The online job that I am doing is very good and easy to implement. My main online jobs are 1) Blogging 2) Using Neobux 3) By Amazon.com 4) Mechanical Turk(Artificial Intelligent) By doing above jobs you can make Huge money from internet.

No.........Ya i did not do or have any experience of part time job when i was a student,My parents are very strict and they did not allowed to do any work,more over they will always advice me to give more focus on my study rather than any work.Now i am really facing difficult to engage in the work field because i lack the experience,i think its better to do part time job,which will be easy for our future career.
