Most students fear the time when their parents will say that they need to get a job to help pay for things such as, car insurance, gas, and things you want for yourself. There are a lot of advantages to working during college, but with the highs comes the lows. Even after a student has decided to work they still have the choice to A). Working on campus or B). Working off campus. Many students decide to work during their college years, and have made college life a time to grow and learn things that they may have not learned if they hadn't taken a job. .
Having a job in college shows that you are an independent and responsible student. Some students have no choice but to work, because they have to pay their own way through college or they have to pay back money to loan companies which under the "standard repayment plan, you repay your student loan in equal monthly installments over a period that cannot exceed 10 years (120 monthly payments). Your minimum monthly payment will not be less than $50 and may be greater depending on the total amount you borrowed. Although the maximum repayment term is 10 years, your loan may be repaid in fewer than 10 years, depending on the loan balance. The standard repayment plan is the one your lender or service will assign to you unless you select a different repayment plan." Those students usually have no parents or guardians or their parents can not afford to send them to college. So to better themselves in the future they have to get a job to support themselves while going to school. Also you would not have to beg your parents so often to send you cash, put it in your quick cash account or your savings. So if you and a group of friends want to go out to dinner and a movie you do not have to worry about not being able to go because to financial problems. It also shows that you can balance a job and good grades. If you are a graduating senior it shows the company that you were able to balance a job and maintain your grades.
