i am a working student. i work because our financial needs are arising... most especially that i am in college and has a lot of requirements... tution fee not yet included. i am pleased to say that in an early age i learned how life all about.. but frankly speaking... how can this be happening?? get it? why do i have to work to earn and study while others would spoil money?

After study everyone will do some work either job or business, so you are doing this during study and it is great job for you and you are feeling life is not a bed of roses. This is good for your future life, you will learn to save for future and will be an ideal housewife.

I applaud you for being very responsible and hepling your parents with your family's finances. You should not be jealous of those who have huge allowances that they spend on unimportant things, they do not have the knowledge that you have. You already know that money doesn't grow on trees, it is earned through hard work, while those who have lots of money only think about designer clothes, watches and the likes. Be proud of yourself and study hard, I know your parents are proud of you.

I know how you feel, and I have felt the same at times. Working to earn money and pay for school and other expenses, while taking classes has been pretty difficult for me, and other college students. Work hard and you will be rewarded for all your hard work.

i really admire those who are working students because they are very responsible and learn the facts about life on an early stage. they be able ro stand on their own feet without the help of their parents. when i was in college I want to be a working student too but then haven't got confidence doing it :)

hi ther miss certified_alice:if you want to experience how to be a working student try taking another college or masters degree...it realy feels great when you are able to finish it and it will leave a good impression on your credentials and your resumae.(just an opinion)

Indeed all the problems were finance not where whatever but very good when someone could independent became himself, efforts that were very good to be able to continue the school by means of financing himself. So many available examples in this world the person could be successful in caused him the lack of money to finance his school because of making yourself the spirit so continued your efforts. But lest you could not divide your time and all that was to yourself

Now a days woking while studying is quite common. Its something which every youngsters want now a days and it has its own effescts as well. The positive side is children are more sensible now and getting responsibilites in a early stages will definately helpin later stages. Then one can surely help thier parents by increasing the finances and not to be a burden. I think there are lots of positives than negatives in working while studying. Cheers, Tutul

well there are other possibilities... i for example worked for experience, not because i needed... ofcourse is good to earn your own money, so i could spend in anything i wanted. but in my case, my college is free

i believe that everything that happens to us has a reason..just think positively..for instance, maybe you are having such challenge in life at an early age because whatever you will learn from it will help you become a successful individual in the future..think of it as an opportunity where you can build a strong foundation for your future life..also, if there are those who just spoils money, maybe they have this destiny because it is also some kind of a way to teach them how to value money (say, when time comes that they have nothing more to spend which soon will lead them to reflect how they wasted their money in the past)...

i feel that student should earn while they are learning. That way they will be responsible and will know the value of money. It will make them understand parents struggle. However, they should take care about their studies also. That way they can grow higher in their life.

Yes its very tough to manage both studies and job aprt time or full time at a time. ne cannot concentrate on both and it effects both but its complusion for some students by considering thier financial situation. Usually thsi happens with students studying in usa,uk,australia etc... they have to work and study. But the eduction system is good.They have only a 5 day a week so the other 2 days can be used to work and earn money instead spending ina beach or going to discotheque.The university people also offer some on campus jobs which are allowed to do in working hours only also the university offers fee waivers for bright students.This may also help them.... I didnt worked and studied at a time till now and hope i willnot face such horrible situation./.....

What i can say is that i support the idea that students can work,but not that they should work.It should be up to them. There is no denying that working while they are still in school provides students with a chance to learn something that they can't get from normal schooling,like social experience. You can do two things at tha same time-or if you are able to,you won;t have a good quality of life. Students have to study hard to enter the college or university that they want to atend.If they work after school,they may not be able to concentrate on their studies. For economic reasons,many parents can't support their children at university or college.So by working part-time students can help their parents with their burdent.At the same time they can learn to be independent which will help them in the future.

Honestly,I salute people like you. I think it's really hard to balance your time with studies and work. Not yet included the family life,love life,social life,and the like. I admire the importance you give to your studies, and not giving it up no matter what. Eventhough life has been hard for you, just look on the brighter side of things. I think you know more about life than other normal students does, so youre one step higher than them. Be optimistic. At an early age you're learning to budget you're own money. A lot of popular rich people nowadays started with that kind of status. :)
