Do you think it's important for high school and college students to work part-time jobs or do you think students should concentrate 100% on their studies? Explain.
Is it important to work partime during school?

I heard that it is possible in countries like UK and other European countries but it is not possible in my country, Nigeria. The way school is designed in my country is very stressful.
Some students must work in order to finish their education, which is a sad reality for many. I know some people who manage to do both while graduating with honors. It's fine as long as they can accomplish them without any problem.
I myself worked part time and during summer holidays. If the student can manage his/her studies, I strongly advise him/her to gain some working experience while studying. Other than learning in a real work environment, having work experience makes it easier to find a job after graduation.
As much as I know it is possible to be able to do this in the UK and I know some kids that do, the school my two youngest sons go to at the moment is quite strict with jobs away from school and always like to be informed so that they can advise whether it would be a good idea or whether it would affect their studies and them getting to the target they need to be for their exams.
Whilst this I can understand, I do feel it is the decision of the child and the parent as to whether they can do both school and work a job out of school without affecting their studying.

In my opinion, students should concentrate on their studies. However, some students have to work because their families cannot support them financially. In this case, they must combine their studies with work. It is not easy but they have no other choice.
Actually , if they can cope with doing both then there is. nothing stopping that since we are all different , some people have the ability to combine different things together without losing focus while some don't , it all depends on the individual.
I think that you can work as a part-time worker if you are a student and enrolled in a college. However, certain students may want to focus more on studies in the end.
I agreed to your submission because it is very important for anyone who is in school to concentrate. Getting involved in some other things could be a distraction and that should not be encouraged at all.
