GETTING A SUMMER JOB

                                                   

              Working life has tough if you are in a private company. Most of the students at university aim to have a successful career in the future. They struggle to graduate from their schools in order to earn a great deal of money. Some of them find a job in the summer before graduation to gain experience. There are some positive and negative aspects of geting a summer job.

             Getting a summer job has a lot of advantages. To begin with, students may learn about the hardship of earning money and this will be early experience in work life. When a student finds a job, she/he will adapt to the new environment faster. Moreover, workers take on a lot of tasks during their summer job. Therefore, they learn the real meaning of responsibility. Lastly, these types of jobs are a big opportunity to improve foreign language skills. For instance, if a university student works in a hotel, she/he meets new tourists. Practising is an important factor in learning a foreign language and when she/he communicates with tourists, his/her daily English will improve  fast.

             On the other hand, there are some bad sides of summer jobs. First of all, students study at an  intensive pace all the year round. Finding a job causes them to have a tiring summer instead of a relaxed summer and this situation may negatively impact the student in the second term; in other words, the effects of the summer job may be felt during the fall term. Furthermore, a three month period is  adequate time for a holiday, but, when taking a job, you miss the opportunity of a long vacation with friends. Finally, working individuals don’t have enough time. That’s why they cannot spare time for leisure activities such as reading books and doing sport.

                To sum up, getting a summer job has both pros and drawbacks. It helps gain experience for work life the future and provides a sense of responsibility to students. On the otherhand, students  cannot create free time for their personal hobbies or a vacation. Should they not rest enough, this situation can negatively affect their school life.
