We conducted the survey from the following five aspects the type of part-time jobs Working hours Main purpose of working How affect school performance Advice or suggestions for students planning to work

What are the types of jobs our interviewees take? The main types of jobs our interviewees are tutors, accounting for 60%. The rest are advertisings and waiters, each accounting for 40%.

What is their main purpose of working parttime? The main reasons for our interviewees to work part-time is gathering their social experience and paid for extra expenses which occupy separately 80% and 60%. Also there are some other reasons such as reducing the social burden which occupies 20% and 40% raise interviewees wants to raise more pocket money.

How does working part-time affect their school performance? There are 40% of the students think do parttime jobs can encourage them to study more hard. But 60% think do parttime jobs have no effect on them.

Advice or suggestions for students planning to work Sixty percent of respondents advise students preparing for part-time jobs is to learn how to multitask, with the rest working no more than 10 hours a week.

Summary According to the survey, our college students mainly choose to impart knowledge as tutors or distribute leaflets with less working time. Most students work more than 10 hours a week. We mainly want to accumulate social experience and make money by doing part-time jobs. But most people think that part-time jobs have no effect on our study.

It is true that taking part-time jobs will take away some time that can be spent on study and it is not good for students to focus their mind on money. But it is equally true that taking part-time jobs can bring students the benefits of less financial burden, more experience of hardship as well as more awareness of the society. They definitely surpass the harms of the work. What we should do is to teach students to arrange their time well and not to focus too much on money, and then encourage them to take part-time jobs.

Thanks you
