Part-Time Job During Holiday is Good for Students

As we know, freshly graduated students in Indonesia have some lack of
trouble during their first time applying on a job. Coming to this, also, can make their
performance isn’t as satisfying as it should be, since they don’t have any experience
towards having a real networking in the field. On the other hand, students in
Indonesia (more specifically high schooler) don’t do much during holiday, which is
such a waste of time without doing anything. Part-time job could be one of the
solution for this problem. It can help teenagers better develop their identities, obtain
increased autonomy, achieve new accomplishments, develop work experience, and
become more independent from their parents.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, 50 percent of American teenagers
hold informal jobs, such as babysitting or yard work, by age 12. By age 15, nearly
two-thirds of American teens have had some kind of employment. By the time teens
graduate from high school, 80% will have held a part-time job at some time during
the school year break. Meanwhile in Indonesia, they’re only several teens who are
willing to do part-time job during holiday or was driven by their parents financial
situation.
Most students don’t think about the perks that come with having a part-time
job while being a full-time student. While working at school isn’t for everyone, being
aware of some of the advantages you can tap into will help you decide whether or not
you’re making the right decision.
By having a part-time job students earn their own money and get lessons on
spending them wisely. They may be less likely to spend their hard-earned money
frivolously and learn to delay gratification to pay for necessities, such as text books
and rent. At the same time, they can save for non-essential purchases, such as a
phone.
It can develop some useful skills, even though you may not think the skills
you’re developing at a part-time job will be useful to your career, they can be! Part-
time jobs teach skills every employer is looking for: commitment, time management,
teamwork, leadership, organization, and filling out job applications.
Therefore, having a part-time job during holiday for students is needed as
long as the job is safe, legal, and leaves ample time for academics (that’s why the
greatest time to kick out some part-time job is on holiday), working during high
school can benefit students, parents and the surrounding community. Students learn
skills and responsibility by working, remove some financial burden from their parents
by earning their own money and serve the people of their communities.
