(Baonghean.vn) - Part-time work is nothing new for students. Not only does it help cover living and study expenses, but part-time jobs also provide young people with opportunities to acquire new skills, improve themselves, and build new relationships.
 |
| Most universities and colleges use a credit-based system, allowing students to proactively manage their schedules while still finding time for part-time work. For example, Pham Thi Ngoc Bich, a student at the College of Tourism and Technology, attends classes daily like any other student. |
 |
| For most of her remaining free time, Bich tutors a student who lives near the school. |
 |
| After each class, Nguyen Lan Phuong, a final-year student at Vinh Phuong Teacher Training College, works part-time at a cafe near the train station intersection. Many other students also work there with Phuong. |
 |
| Or take the example of Tran Thi Le Thoa, a student at Vinh University from Quang Nam province, who is handing out flyers at the intersection near Kenh Bac Bridge. Thoa is paid 50,000 VND for two hours of work. |
 |
| Most students who start working part-time usually choose jobs like tutoring or working in cafes. |
 |
| However, some students choose more strenuous jobs such as loading and unloading goods at warehouses or wholesale markets. In the photo, a student from Vinh University of Industry often takes on afternoon jobs transporting goods for small traders at Vinh Market. These students are mostly from rural districts who live in rented accommodation to study; they work to supplement their income and ease the financial burden on their families. |
 |
| Many students take on part-time jobs to improve their communication skills, develop soft skills, and learn independence. In addition, students get to spend the money they earn through their own labor, which helps them appreciate the value of money more and spend it more wisely. |
 |
| However, part-time work also has negative aspects, such as affecting students' health or daily routines, leading to poor academic performance. Some inexperienced students may face risks such as being scammed or having accidents. Therefore, to balance studying and part-time work, students need to carefully consider their choices. To bridge the gap between theory and practice, it's best to choose jobs related to their field of study. |
