Students Paid Debt
Not many are lucky to have paid all their debt by the time they graduate. Colleges and universities have given students the ability to work around the campus in order to pay for their education. Although this seems like a positive effect to help students pay and try to minimize debt, work is bound to get in the way of education. As students worry about having money in their pockets and scavenge any type of job they can find in or around the campus, they put aside their studies and their capability to perform in class is diminished. In his article, Hoover is able to capture a statement made by Ashley Dawson, an English professor at the College of Staten Island, regarding how work affects students ability to work in class and colleges maintaining

    Neal-Richardson (2000) argued that college students should be responsible for paying their own tuition versus depending on their parents for financial support. Neal-Richardson believed that relying on parents to pay tuition creates laziness in students and a feeling of obligation in parents. The first point that Neal-Richardson raised is the sense of entitlement that students feel about having their parents pay for college. She noted the resentment that she felt toward students at their shock in discovering that she was paying her own way through college without her parents’ assistance. The second point that Neal-Richardson raised is that if she paid her own way through college, so should others. She described working full time, making $4.75 an hour to pay her way through school and successfully earning all A’s. The third point that Neal-Richardson raised is that not being responsible for tuition makes one take their education for granted. One of Neal-Richardson’s classmates expressed that she was too busy to go to school and work simultaneously. As a result, because her classmate lacked multitasking skills, she only earned B’s and C’s.…

    f Charles Murray in the essay “Are Too Many People Going to College” that you can not always base one's success off of their occupation or income but more so their happiness (Murray 251). To Rose’s understanding he feels that this is something commonly overlooked. His feelings are strong that everyday work is important to our society as a whole, and should not be devalued because of this preconceived idea that because you are working with your hands, physically laboring, you are less intelligent than say those who work in an office. Graff reviews this same concept, the misconception throughout our nation that those who have such white collar jobs are seemingly more inty discuss is the importance of personal finance. The cost of college is significant,…

    This research investigated the affects of working extra hours in a labor position on students’ GPAs each semester at Berea College. It was my belief that students who worked more hours were more likely to have lower GPAs due to their studying abilities and opportunities being compromised as a result of working too long (a negative correlation or trend between GPAs and hours worked each week). For each hour a student worked it was my belief that he or she became more fatigued, more stressed, and lost an hour in which to study. Each student must work at least ten hours here on campus as required by the Berea College Labor Program. Students may select to work more to make more money or to gain experience in a chosen field, or they may have to work more to meet work requirements for state assistance programs which help them financially but require that certain number of hours (usually 20) be worked by the student each week.…

    “The first major conclusion is that nobody is great without work.” ( Colvin, 2016) Colvin stated that in What it Takes to be Great. I am able to apply this statement to my academic experience. I have never been someone who puts too much work into school, and because of that I saw the results when I started college. After my first semester I saw 3 Fs and 1 D on my transcript, I put most of my time into my social life, and barely any into my academic life. With that I knew a changed needed to be made, and still after coming back home and attending a community college in Connecticut I was not focused to do the best I could do because, I still was not putting the work into my studies. Finally after taking a year off, and working at a daycare I…

    She raises questions as: "Are teenagers today prepared for life after school?" The school system and parents should be working together to raise educated students. Schools should be accountable for instructing students to be knowledgeable about the world around them. It should be a joint effort between parent and educator to train the next generation of children to be independent and prepared for the real life. One of the topics discussed is whether university student would be able to handle the sense of responsibility and maturity that comes from having a job. When someone puts their head down to achieve their goals by themselves, as an independent adult, their outcome will reflect what they learned in both college and "real life school". Similarly the Northeastern University economists Paul E. Harrington and Andrew M. Sum argue the most pressing problem facing the university graduates today: overeducation on one hand and malemployment on the other. The reality is that more and more college graduates are stuck in low wage and low skilled jobs. Also, this article contains an example of a certain graduate student S.F. who got a degree in Network and information-technology administration, and after he couldn’t find a job, the Eastern Michigan University gave him a job as a custodian in the student center. This very example makes us consider the value of the university degree and ask ourselves whether the degree is really needed in order to become successful and financially stable in the future or it is just a way to manipulate the hard working students and make business based on their effort and hard…

    This study that I’ve done investigates how working and going to college contribute to stress among college students and are the grades of college students who work at least 20 hours per week affecting their grade point average. In 2002, The Associated Press found that employment and academics generally harm grades and are stressful. These effects depend on being a part-time or full-time student, how many classes the student is taking, and how many hours per week they work. The United States Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, conducted a study examining the characteristics and educational experience of working adult undergraduates, focusing on those who considered employment their primary activity. The participants were divided into two groups depending on their answer to the question, "While you were enrolled and working would you say you were primarily: 1) a student working to meet expenses or 2) an employee who decided to enroll in school?" In 1999-2000, roughly two thirds of working undergraduates' age 24 or older reported that work was their primary activity.…

    Since childhood we are told that a person must obtain a college degree in order to get a good job. We are reassured that this is the way that we will achieve all of our dreams. That all we have to do is learn. But now a days, in order to obtain that degree we must work. This is not as easy as it sounds. When a mere 18 year old tries to tackle a “standard college load of fifteen hours” whilst working a part-time or full-time job, problems will undoubtedly arise for that individual. The three common problems are be not having enough time to study,rest, or socialize.…

    Working and studying at the same time helps students in their future careers. Having a job while still studying gives young people opportunities to get some experience. This is an important factor when after school students are looking for jobs. There is a bigger chance to be hired if student have work experience than if resume is empty. While student work they develop workplace skills, learn how to work as a team. In addition, studies showed that students who have jobs tend to drop out of school less. David Stern and Derek Briggs believe that “students who work moderate hours perform better in school”. Experiencing practical life makes students to take their studies more serious.…
