4. Is it better to be a full-time student or to work part-time and go to school part-time?


Yes, it is better to be a full-time student rather than to work part-time and go to school part-time. We all know that our mind can only handle one thing at a time for most of cases. School and work are completely two different subject. Well, I know that a lot of people are doing both at the same time. Working in the morning then school in the afternoon. Or go to school on one day then go to work on the other day. However, have those people ever ask themselves, if both things are equal? I mean are they both doing well? Or one is better than the other? Or both are not doing so well.

Facts showed that a lot of students committed suicided because of overloaded school works or pressures from the courses, which means that being a students often have more pressures than what people usually thought. Sometimes it happened to be more pressures than an individual can take. On the other hand, working is the samething. People often receive pressure, angry, tiredness, and many other negative emotions and feelings. Of course, not all the people are receiving the same thing. However, if a person who isactually a part-time student and go to work as a part-time receive pressures from both side, do you really think that he/she can do well in both? I really wonder if that person can handle both and live happy and safe.

Further more, full times students have more free time than those who work and go to school as part-time. So, full time students can have more time on studying and homework, which gave the student better opportunities to remember the materials better, while the part-time students are rushing to finish reading the book and the homework like a bird during the nesting season. Compare those two cases togather, and I think the answer to the question is very obvious and easy to tell.

I completely agree with you. Students I know that are also working feel so much time pressure and are so tired that I feel bad for them. Of course, sometime it cannot be helped.
