Effects towards the Academic Perfomance of Working Students in Notre Dame University
INTRODUCTION
Many undergraduate students considered working as one of their fundamental responsibility. Most of them strive to meet multiple and simultaneous demands of school roles, work, and as a member of the family. Thus, managing work and academics is one of the most challenging and difficult role of a working student. Initially, it may seem easy for them to study and work at the same time but as time goes by, it becomes harder for them to handle both schedules that often create high levels of stress and anxiety making it less likely that students will complete their chosen degrees at the right time. (Laura W. Perna, 2013) Being a working student is very crucial and difficult. Conflicts in schedules may arise with regards to prioritizing numerous responsibilities making it necessary to consider the possible consequences that may occur. Basically students work to support and help to cope up with the constant increase in tuition fees which has a great impact on their academic performance. It requires them the essence of time management in balancing their academic requirements, extracurricular activities and at the same time their responsibilities as an employer to maintain their academic performance. The pros and cons of working while in college depend not necessarily on the job itself but instead on how often a student works. Having a part-time job while in school gives students insight into what it’s like in the work environment and also what it means to earn money. Having a job could also be an eye-opener to some people that money is not gained very easily. Having a job also comes with convenient cash. With a paying job, you can easily pull out some cash when you have immediate needs. Work breeds independence. You will be a master of multi-tasking even before you start your very own professional career in the future. By then, it would not be as challenging as it would be without any experience. Adversely, having a job may bring also disadvantages
