7 Reasons to work your way thru college

Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Many students say they don’t want to take part-time jobs when they start college because they’ll need all their time to study (or party).

But new research confirms what parents and counselors have been saying for years: Part-time campus jobs not only raise cash but can help raise students’ grade-point averages. Based on working 10-20 hours/week, here are the 7 reasons:

1.   Earn money

2.     Learn to budget 

3.     Time-management

4.     Improve academic performance

5.     Career experiment

6.     Build resume

7.     Connect with professors and students
