You'll gain a valuable reference for future employment, even if your job as a student is not related to your academic major.
Many students find that working enhances their time management skills.
And your job gives you a break from the pressures of academic life, helping you learn new things and meet new people. Students who work an average of eight to twelve hours per week perform academically as well as, or better than, their non-working peers. Employed students also tend to stay in school and complete their degrees at a higher rate. So working part-time in college seems like a good idea for most people, especially when you consider the importance of regular income in helping you meet your expenses. Employers often advertise for assistance with light yard work, housework, food service, cashier and sales clerk positions, bookkeeping, child care, and farm help.
