Working Students

Working Students has become common in most colleges and other learning organizations. Students are enrolled in schools for studies and at the same time they are working. Working Students may opt to work for various reasons. Some students do not have an option but to work as they learn. This is because for them to learn, they must earn first. They have no one to meet their fees requirements. If they do not work, it means that they do not learn. Some colleges and other training institutions offer jobs in the institutions for students. Some students may thus be lucky to get such opportunities. Those who may not be lucky enough, however, may get jobs in other places outside the campus.

However, this is never the case always as absenteeism has other causes. Overcoming these challenges can be one of the strengths of working students.

Other students work because they need to start building on their career as early as opportunities present themselves.
