I agree with Minot that employment affects the student going to school or college. Life is always a struggle. In order to gain something, we have to lose something. Though I have gained the knowledge of the “real” world and value of money, work has affected my academic opportunities and performance. Two years ago, I was a full-time student with a part-time job at a local supermarket. Being an independent student and living away from my parents, it was difficult for me to meet various expenses. As a result, I started working full-time and studying part-time, which has impeded my progress. Gradually, because of lack of relaxation and constant stress of maintaining double schedules, I lost interest in studies and eventually dropped out of the college. I never intended to attend classes again. My persistence was lost and my dream of graduating was shattered. But with the motivation and encouragement from my family, I started to pursue my career goal again. After this experience, I would rather just live on bread and water for four years than have a job that may makes my career pointless because of insufficient grades.
