Topic 3: In some countries, teenagers have jobs while they are still students. Do you think this is a good idea? Support your opinion by using specific reasons and details

Nowadays, there are more and more teenagers have jobs while they are still students. For me, it has been a precious working experience to have some of part time jobs when being at university. Therefore, I absolutely agree with that phenomenon for a numerous reason and I would explore only a few of the important ones here.

There is a saying that real life is the biggest school. Students may be educated many knowledge and skills at school but the only way to intensify them is practicing in real life. Part time job is one of the most suitable chances for them to advance their knowledge. For example, economy students study not too little subject which concern with their faculty like marketing, business administration, produce administration, accounting, auditing… Sometime, theories may be too boring for them to set question themselves: Is it really important to study those entire subjects? When students have job, like a shop assistant... They will think about how to raise their sales, how to attract customer…At that time, it automatically for them to recognize the necessaries of deeply thinking and knowledge for almost business activities. Moreover, the theories which are put into practice is difficult to forget and obvious to understand. Those things will make progresses in student’s studies.

The other important point is student will be more confident and dynamic if they have job during school time. Job requires them to communicate with many strangers, to satisfy all customers, or to be agile with changes… If students aren’t dynamic, they will easily to loose their job. They may be like a fish out of water at the fist moment but after a short time, they must move themselves for suitable with their job. From all the hard-workings, the students will be mature, and well - prepared for their future jobs. Many millionaires had a part time job during their school time. Therefore, we can’t suppose to be attracted by the part time job always accompany with failure. Michael Dell is one of the most typical examples for hard working during school time. His part time job, seeking subscribers for Houston Post magazine, had not only brought him his first BMW car but also exposed his business talent at the ages of seventeen. Mark Cuban _ the America technology millionaire is not an exception. He did many works, from doing bar business, teaching dancing... to advertising service for earning enough tuition. In addition, the results of part time jobs may motivate students to become more and more confident in their abilities.

Last but not least, nowadays, experience counts for more than qualifications. The difference between school and real life makes almost companies prefer the people who have worked. Especially in the managing positions, there is no doubt that the people who have experiences in many-concerned field can be promoted easier than the one who only got a managing degree. Therefore, if you want to get a satisfactory job after graduating, you should take experiences as much as possible when you are still at school.

Working brings student experiences, confidences, money and a brighter curriculum vitae… Thus, I come to conclusion, that for me, having a job during the study time is acceptable

One fact we cannot deny is that nowadays, there are more and more students seeking jobs while they are still undergraduates. Of course having a job while studying brings you both good and bad effects. But for me, good things are many more than bad so I will say it's a "yes" if you come and ask me which side I go for.

The first bad thing we can see clearly for ourselves is that we will be distracted from our main task, and by main task I mean study. Since we have to spend time on searching for a suitable job, we have to spend 4 to 5 hours per day for the least on that job if that is just a part-time job, not to mention a full time job. And that means out time budget will be reduced. Then there is a second bad thing: we will get tired easily because of so many works: studying, chores, hanging out with friends...and last but not least: that part-time job. Surely we will neglect on our study and this is absolutely not good since studying is the most important thing we students have to do to achieve success on our future career.

But we cannot deny the so many benefits brought to us through that job. The first and the most practical benefit is; of course the money we earn from that job. No more "mom, i'm out of money" and we can buy some new clothes replacing those so out of date messy. Then there are other invisible benefits: we have chances to make new relations, to gain more experience and to learn from practice changing everyday not from a bunch of so call permanent theories at the university. And this is the fundamental reason why I will go for the idea of seeking a job while studying.

The point is that we should try our best to manage our time budget between studying and working and other stuffs. Actually not all of us can do such thing but for me, I will say "Hey, dynamic people of new generation, let's give it a try" because it's worth that.
