Student Employment is actually a GOOD thing! | |
The idea to "earn while you learn" is not a new one. Studies have shown that students who work 8-12 hours per week actually improve their academic performance by learning how to manage their time and set priorities. Friendships. Professional relationships. Leadership opportunities and transferable skills. Students earn way more than money by working.
