Thus, it is divided into two types: formal learning institutions such as schools and self-learning better known as experience. Moreover, education is essential to every student by bringing them in the future prepared. But as we all know, education is not limited only in institutions and poverty rises which greatly affect the financial stability of every family hindering their children to attain knowledge formally. Today, many choose to work while studying, juggling school responsibility and self-responsibility, they are called, “working students.” Studying, alone, is already a hard task and working is another thing. Putting these two in the context have effects to each other either positive or negative. Weng (2012) elaborated that schooling and work are extremely different but both can bring a successful path.

...effects on the job performance of working students in selected colleges in cavite Jaime A. Enoc Jr., Aileen C. Juera De La Salle University – Dasmariñas City of Dasmariñas, Province of Cavite Abstract Education is considered as one of the valuable thing for every Filipino that they can achieve. It became a culture for every Filipino family to have even one member of the family to finish the education with a Diploma. This now became the answer for poverty for most of them. That is why even though the path to achieve success through education is seem to be narrow and steep, they still strive for excellence. That is why Filipino youth who really want to pursue their education chose to work while studying because of the incapability of their parents to support them financially. But due to their oath-to-work together with their responsibility as a student, how can they perform well in their job despite of their school responsibility? This study, therefore, was undertaken to find out how are they going to perform in a job while being a student at the same time. More specifically, it sought to answer the following questions: * Is schooling hindrance working students to perform to their job well? Or vice versa? * Is there any aspect that hinders the student to perform in their job? * Are they satisfied with their current job that can make them perform in the job well? * Are they more effective in their work environment than others?

...your life worth it for a college degree? Would you work the night shift to get a majority of your school paid for? For the people that work, are they getting enough rest to excel in the classroom? A college degree makes you money while doing less work, but people without a college education usually work tireless hours to make half the amount. It’s Monday morning, a person just finished working a six-hour shift. They have just gotten get off at 5 am, and have class at 8 am, how do they cope? Studies show working more than 15 hours can affect a student’s success in the classroom (Semuels, p. 210). Also, people who went through 35 hours of sleep deprivation saw two letter grade drops in classes (Semuels, p. 211). Working a job, especially the night shift doesn’t seem like a bright idea? Some schools offer programs to work during the night and receive half...

...Students are increasingly likely to work while in college. Since 1984, the fraction of college students aged 16 to 24 who also work full- or part-time has increased from 49 to 57 percent. Not only are students more likely to work today, but they are more likely to work full-time: the share of students working full-time while going to school full-time has nearly doubled, rising from 5.6 percent in 1985 to 10.4 percent in 2000. In 2000, 828,000 full-time students worked full-time, compared to 366,000 in 1985. Working students can be categorized into two groups: those who primarily identify themselves as students but who work in order to pay the bills, and those who are first and foremost workers who also take some college classes. Almost two-thirds of undergraduates who work consider themselves "students who work"; the other third consider themselves "workers who study." In the 1995-96 school year, employed students worked an average of 25 hours per week. Students at four-year colleges are more likely to work a smaller number of hours per week. On average, working college students earn roughly $7.50 per hour. The empirical evidence suggests that the effects of working while in college varies by the type of job held (e.g., full-time vs. part-time work) and its relation to the academic environment (e.g., an on-campus vs. an off-campus job). Part-time student employment may have beneficial effects: for example, an on-campus research position may spark a student's interest...

...school could improve grades if working promotes aspects that correspond with academic success, such as industriousness or time management skills, or instead reduce grades by reducing time and energy available for school work. Otherwise, working might be associated with academic performance, yet not directly influence it, if unobserved student differences influence both labor supply and grades. Unmotivated students might neither work for pay nor receive good grades because they put little effort into the labor market or school. In contrast, HRM students uninterested in academics might work long hours that would otherwise have been devoted to leisure. Students might misjudge the link between college achievement and future earnings when making labor supply decisions. If so, obtaining a consistent estimate of how such decisions affect academic performance is prospectively important for policy consideration. Some of HRM students in Taguig City University Students are more likely to work than they are to live on campus, to study full time, to attend a four-year college or university, or to apply for or receive financial aid. Students work regardless of the type of institution they attend, their age or family responsibilities, or even their family income or educational and living expenses. Most HRM students at Taguig City University face many challenges in their already busy everyday lives. Some students work full or part time while attending college. Others also support families of...

To Work Or Not To Work Page 1 TO WORK OR NOT TO WORK: THE IMPACT OF WORK ON STUDENTS’ COLLEGE EXPERIENCE ABSTRACT Existing research on student employment focuses on the impact of work on persistence and degree attainment. This study, however, pays special attention to how work affects students' college experience. Blending quantitative and qualitative methods, the study examines the difference between working and nonworking students in their academic and social experience on campus, students’ perceptions of work, and the impact of work on their college life. The results indicate no significant difference between working and nonworking students in their academic and social experience, though working students' GPAs are lower than that of the nonworking. Constantly searching for meaningful work as well as meaning in their work, most working students perceived work as experiential and economically...

...CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTINGS Background of the study Orszag (2001) Working while attempting to obtain a degree has become a pervasive lifestyle for today’s University students among the reasons contributing to an ever increasing trend of working during education could be the increasing financial pressures from higher college tuition and fees, the necessity of gaining social experiences, and academic requirements for practical internships. The likelihood of working while in school for college students has been increasing particularly as the cost of education has also been rising. Noni’s and Hudson (2006) Academic performance is measured by the standing of rates of grades of student in every subject. Having a high level of performance on the academic area of a student suggest its competency and high level of confidence on its certain field. Students have their own attitude towards learning and achieving a high level of academic performance. The development of their enthusiasm towards succeeding in their own field varies. In order for a student to succeed he needs to be armed with strategies and techniques that will supplement his desire to reach his goals. Crede and Kuncel (2008) One way is to have an efficient and adaptive study habit. This phenomenon can be linked to multi factors that affect their study habit. Such factors can be found in their environment, these includes the type of house they live in; the people around them and the level of support...

...200 11/3/2013 Alisa Hewitt Personal Responsibility While being personally responsible it makes it possible to complete short and long term goals while attending classes in college. It is up to you as a student to make sound decisions, be organized, keeping yourself mentally and physically healthy as well as managing stress. The most important reason to be personally responsible is that it makes completing the short term and long term goals easier because it also makes being organized easier. What personal responsibility means to me is being responsible for your own actions while in college and not using other people or situations as excuses. Turning assignments in on time is just one of many ways to show personal responsibility while attending college. Personal Responsibility as a student in college is taking charge of your own learning without blaming anyone else and using excuses if you fail a class. While attending college being personally responsible is as important as anything that can be done to have success in college. When studying for any test, completing assignments on time, getting plenty of rest, and taking responsibility for your mistakes are ways you can be personally responsible while in college. The more responsible you are in college, the more successful you will be because you should have a set schedule so you can study and complete your assignments. You will notice success in college while being responsible by seeing grades improving. By seeing improvement...

...College is a big topic of discussion for me now that I am almost halfway through my senior year of high school. There have been recent debates about whether college tuition should be free or not. I realized that it would be better to pay for schooling on my own. I have looked at the community college price compared to prices at universities. I would much rather go to a community college especially because I’m not sure what I want to get into. Many of my classmates would probably say that free college sounds like a wonderful idea, while others don’t really think so. Some college graduates might have already paid off their own student loans or started paying them off. Why should others have to worry about paying more tax money for other people...

...2014 Why College Education Is Important To Me Growing up I did not see a college education in my future due to its price tag. As my parents brought home just enough money every week to get by, I decided during the 11th grade in high school that I would rather work and make money than stay in school. I left school, received my G.E.D. a year later, all while working a full time job at the neighborhood pizzeria. A few years had passed, I landed a better job in an office setting as a typist. After working there for a little over 5 years, I realized this is not what I want to do for the rest of my life. Being a typist was something I was good at; however, I yearned for something bigger and better. I tried several times to find another job, but there seemed to be one obstacle in my way, these better jobs required more than a G.E.D. or High School Diploma, they required a college degree. After several turn downs, careful thought, and consideration, I decided it was time for me to give this whole college thing a try. By this time I am now 26 years old with a 2 year old son, how am I possibly going to go to school and have time to study while being a stay-at-home mother? That’s when I started researching what opportunities were out there for me besides the standard college education. This is where I discovered “Distance Learning” with Ashworth College. Here I am a little over a decade later going for my college education. During the last 11 years, I have learned that a college education...

...Effects of Student Employment on Student Academic Success Attending in colleges or university, students should consider learning new experience for their future careers from academic and non-academic. If you want to perform well at anything you need to have enough time to work on it and when you do more than one thing at the same time you need to keep balance or maintain your time. These students maintain their time tent to preform good in college. According to the research a full time student who works less than 10 hours a week has more positive effect on academic performance and student who work more than 20 hours a week has native effect on academic performance. Working while in college is not necessarily a burden to students. Working a limited number of hours (15 hours a week) at an on-campus job appears to have positive impacts on student performance. It allows student to learn new things that they cannot learn from their books or in class. Just being in class students are limited to learn to do school-work or assignments. However, from a part time job (15 or less) student have a chance to learn how to manage their time effectively, arrange their many other work appropriately, learn to be a responsible person, and build professional communicate skills. These lessons are proved to be very important for them at the present when they still study in their colleges, as well as in the future when they pursue their desire callings. Students who work one to 15 hours...
