Besides, part-time jobs can help students become more confident and improve their communication abilities. To examplify, students can interact and converse with more people when they work as salespeople. Another important point is that, thanks to part-time jobs, students can earn an array of money to spend on daily expense. On the other hand, doing part-time jobs may offers several disadvantages. Firstly, when students works to much, thay can get tired and diffcult concentrate on their study. It means that their academic performance will be affected. Additionaly, if students are not vigilant sufficent when choosing a job, they may be took advantage of labor, even doing illegal things. All in all, there are both merits and demerits to doing part-time jobs. Although woking part-time jobs may have some disadvantages, I am totally convinced that we should know how to maximize the advantages as well as minimize the disadvantages.
