5 Benefits of Having a Job in College
aku taktaula kalau hampa, tapi kalau aku, sebenarnya tak berapa nak jalan la.
mesti ada salah satu yang sangkut nanti.
kalau kerja tak sangkut, mesti ada paper yang sangkut >.<
this is based on my own experiences anyway.
i'll briefly list my experiences down below, and dont, dont laugh!
please be inspired tho. HAHA
1. primary school, sekolah rendah. aku menega avon dekat cikgu2 and kawan2. cikgu alhamdulillah okay semua, tapi kawan! stop. ada yang tak bayar ==' naseb baek la lip balm rm5 lagutue ja pun. hang terasa ka? kalau hang yang tgh baca nih yg buat lagutue kat aku, tkpa aku dah halalkan ( atau sebenarnya mak aku yang halalkan, sebab duet dia ).

4. in university, i sells chicken chop! i really cant adjust myself well cause it seems the business had became my priority, while it shouldnt be. i make profits tho, but i need to repeat certain subjects >.< such embarrassing confession right? but its the truth. it doesnt work for me. now its sem break and im doing some businesses. and once they start, they cant be stopped. i'll make sure i'll succeed first :) insyaAllah..
so here are the benefits
1) Time management : Since when has “student” been an occupation? Any college student knows that despite the workload, you still have a lot of spare time you probably don’t spend entirely on studying. Once you've learned to master the art of working and being a full-time student, you will discover what it actually means to be busy, stressed, and more importantly, how to truly manage your time. If you’re not working, you have no right to complain about your stress level when there are many students doing the same course load as you plus a job (or two, or three...). Even if you’re only working 8-10 hours a week, you’ll quickly learn how to prioritize and cherish your time better, and still have hours to spare. By utilizing your time to your full potential, you’ll be better prepared for the future.
2) Customer service/communication skills : Nothing makes you change your attitude towards the service industry more than working in it. After that, you’ll always tip, be polite, and address workers as equals; some are students just like you! You learn some powerful team-working skills and how to cope with some not so passive and cooperative customers. It may not sound fun, but it does teach you some valuable techniques on how to work with others, skills that will prove useful throughout your life. Remember, it sucks now, but you're not going to be stuck doing this job forever! Your hard work will pay off in a number of ways.
3) Taking constructive criticism : Sometimes in the workplace, you’ll have the joyous experience of a big, scary boss screaming at you. Maybe it isn't the most polite or psychologically pleasing event, but in most jobs (no matter what field) you’re going to have some kind of manager that won’t hesitate to tell you you’re wrong and give you a hard time. But don’t take this opportunity to cry in the bathroom—learn from it. The more people that yell at you, the easier it gets to take, and the more efficiently you learn from that scolding, and how to work from it. A lot of upper management sucks, but the stronger you grow, the more you’ll excel and move up in the workplace. Just take a deep breath!
4) Money management : Woo, paycheck! One week later: Where’d all that money go? In college, you really start to realize how much money matters when you've got groceries to buy, rent to pay, fun weekends to be enjoyed, and eventually, scary loans to pay off. If you've been fortunate enough to have a parent or relative pay for all of that, lucky you, but you’re not learning much and they’re not going to support you forever. If you have little experience earning income, saving money, and practicing appropriate spending, by the time you’re out of college you’ll be in serious trouble. Also, you'll discover that nothing feels more satisfying than buying a new dress or pair of shoes with your own, hard-earned money.
5) Future Employment : If you graduate college with little or no work experience, even in a place that is mundane and unrelated, you will not have the upper hand during hiring. You are competing for a future career against thousands of other candidates, and if your only resume builders are academic, employers are seriously going to ask what you did with all of your spare time. Summer stints and babysitting is one thing, but showing that you can handle a job while in school speaks volumes, and prepares you far more for future workloads. Even something as simple as working retail or a café job teaches you a lot about working with others and the real world, and employers notice that.
so should i advise you to go and seek for job?
:D
its up to you, goodluck anyway!
