I think it’s extremely important for students to have a part-time job for the following reasons. First, students can get real world experience from working off campus. Taking myself for example, I waited tables part time while I was in university. I learned a lot about how to deal with different kinds of people from that job. Also, working off campus means that students can get in touch with people who aren’t students. Students thus have a chance to establish a professional network before leaving school. For example, some schools require students to have internships at a local business as part of the graduation requirements. And I know people who have secured permanent positions at these firms even before they graduated.
