Should Students Take Part-time Jobs?

Should students take part-time jobs?

學(xué)生應(yīng)該做兼職工作嗎？

Although still much lower than in foreign countries, the percentage of university students taking part-time jobs in China is on the increase. Some people criticize these students on the ground that part-time jobs distract轉(zhuǎn)移 students' attention and expose students too early to the issue of money. However, I firmly believe that working during university education can be very beneficial to students.

在中國(guó)大學(xué)生做兼職工作的比例在上升，雖然仍比國(guó)外低得多。一些人當(dāng)場(chǎng)批評(píng)這些學(xué)生，指出兼職工作轉(zhuǎn)移了學(xué)生的注意力，讓學(xué)生接觸到錢(qián)的問(wèn)題還為時(shí)過(guò)早。但是，我堅(jiān)信，在大學(xué)期間工作對(duì)學(xué)生是非常有利的。

First of all, taking part-time jobs can help reduce the financial burden of the students' families. Generally speaking, the income of most parents is not very high. As many universities are increasing their tuition, the education of their children is becoming an increasingly heavy burden for many parents. Some parents in the cities find it hard to pay this cost, not to mention those parents in the countryside. But if students can take some part-time jobs, their income can cover part of the expenditure, thus lowering the burden of their parents. One of my classmates pays for daily expenses completely from his own bearings, and both his parents and he are very proud of it.

首先，兼職工作可以幫助減輕學(xué)生家庭的經(jīng)濟(jì)負(fù)擔(dān)。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，大多數(shù)父母收入不是很高。許多大學(xué)也在提高學(xué)費(fèi)，對(duì)于許多家長(zhǎng)來(lái)說(shuō)孩子教育問(wèn)題的負(fù)擔(dān)變得越來(lái)越沉重。一些城市里的家長(zhǎng)發(fā)現(xiàn)很難支付此費(fèi)用，更不用說(shuō)那些在農(nóng)村的父母了。但是如果學(xué)生可以做一些兼職工作，他們的收入可以支付部分的開(kāi)支，從而減少父母的負(fù)擔(dān)。我的一個(gè)同學(xué)的生活費(fèi)用完全由他自己承擔(dān)，他和他的父母感到非常的驕傲。

Furthermore, taking part-time jobs can teach students much about hardship. Chinese students are mostly the only child at home, and their requests are usually met at any cost. This advantage actually deprives these children of the opportunity to experience hardship, which can teach them a lot about the society. By taking some part-time jobs, students can not only learn that it is hard to earn even a little money, but also learn to cultivate a correct viewpoint about life.

此外，兼職工作可以教導(dǎo)學(xué)生什么是艱苦。中國(guó)大多數(shù)學(xué)生都是獨(dú)生子女，所以他們的要求無(wú)論如何都會(huì)得到滿(mǎn)足。這一優(yōu)勢(shì)實(shí)際上剝奪了這些孩子體驗(yàn)艱苦的機(jī)會(huì)，這些艱苦可以教他們很多關(guān)于社會(huì)的知識(shí)。通過(guò)做一些兼職工作，學(xué)生不僅可以學(xué)到賺一點(diǎn)錢(qián)都是很難的，也要學(xué)會(huì)培養(yǎng)正確的人生觀。

Most importantly, doing part-time jobs can sharpen students' awareness of the society. If students spend all their time on study, they will not have sufficient understanding of the society, and this insufficient knowledge may be dangerous when these students leave university for the society. But through part-time work, students will not only get a good understanding of the society and prepare themselves psychologically for the future career and life, but gain much experience in dealing with realities and people of different kinds.

最重要的是，做兼職工作可以提高學(xué)生的社會(huì)意識(shí)。如果學(xué)生把所有的時(shí)間都花在學(xué)習(xí)上，他們就不會(huì)足夠的了解社會(huì)，而當(dāng)這些學(xué)生離開(kāi)大學(xué)踏入社會(huì)時(shí)那些不充足的知識(shí)可能是危險(xiǎn)的。但通過(guò)兼職工作，學(xué)生不僅會(huì)很好的了解這個(gè)社會(huì)社會(huì)而且在心理上可以為未來(lái)的職業(yè)和生活作好準(zhǔn)備，還可以在處理現(xiàn)實(shí)和不同的人的事情上得到經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

It is true that taking part-time jobs will take away some time that can be spent on study and that 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.

這是真的，兼職工作會(huì)占據(jù)一些可以花在學(xué)習(xí)上時(shí)間而且學(xué)生把焦點(diǎn)放在金錢(qián)上是不好的。但同樣這也是真的，兼職工作可以讓學(xué)生減少財(cái)政負(fù)擔(dān)，獲得更多的艱苦經(jīng)歷以及更多的社會(huì)意識(shí)。他們絕對(duì)優(yōu)于工作帶來(lái)的危害。我們應(yīng)該做的是教導(dǎo)學(xué)生合理安排時(shí)間，不要過(guò)于注重金錢(qián)，之后鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生參加兼職工作。
