    Learning new things, broadening your thinking and perspective is also a great benefit that first-year students get when they start working early.

    Depending on your ability and the amount of time you spend working part-time, your income will vary. Many students have been able to be financially independent since their first year of university, saving money to help their families or having long-term investment plans in the future.

    2. What do first-year students LOSE when working part-time?

    Along with the 6 benefits that working part-time from the first year of university can bring to students, you should also consider the following 3 things:
    2.1. Takes a lot of time
    Many first-year students have no experience in finding a job, do not know what job is really suitable for them, so just the process of finding a part-time job "eats" a lot of time. In addition, part-time work will require about 4 to 5 hours per day - which means you have to sacrifice some personal habits, hobbies, fun with friends, etc.
    Even if you cannot balance your time, part-time work sometimes makes you neglect your studies, retake classes, fail subjects, not only wasting time retaking classes but also losing more money.

    2.2. Impact on health
    Studying and working at the same time makes many students unable to withstand pressure, easily feel tired, stressed, and bored. Not to mention, if first-year students choose manual jobs that are too strenuous, it can easily affect their health. On the contrary, a sedentary office job will also weaken your body and reduce flexibility and agility.

    Therefore, students need to clearly understand their own abilities and interests to find a suitable job.

    2.3. Easily cheated and lose money
    Choosing an unsuitable part-time job means you are wasting your health and time, while these are the two prerequisites for you to make money. Sometimes, because of lack of experience, first-year students are easily cheated, paid lower than their abilities, or even "skipped" their salary. As a result, going to work is both mentally exhausting and distracting from studying, but the return is zero, along with frustration.


    3. Should first-year students work part-time

    Many people advise that first-year and second-year students should focus on studying and joining clubs to integrate into the new environment instead of working part-time.

Moreover, if you have the ability to arrange your time well, working part-time brings many benefits, helping you mature and become more confident.

After that, you can start looking for part-time jobs that suit your abilities and time.
