What is part-time job

什么是兼职

There is an issue which discuss about whether part-time job is advisable for a student to have. An increasing number of college coordinators realize that part-time job will exert positive influences on college study. On the contrary, there is also a growing opposition among scholastic who complain that part-time job pulls students’ focus out of college curriculum. In the following discussion, I would like to unfold evidences favoring my eyes.

Students are able to learn knowledge superior in university from part-time job. For practical purpose, a part-time job related to their major gives students an exalted opportunity to apply the theories that they have learned in school. For instance, a student who takes a part-time job in a medical research lab may discover the significant sense, which means studying chemistry is for saving people’s lives. Actually, using the due time on their part-time, students prefect and relax themselves in the meanwhile. That is to say, students’ leisure time is not occupied with a decent part-time job. As a matter of fact, it is unhealthy for students to spare all time on their curriculum. As an old saying goes: all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. Besides, students can learn how to get along with people and know the society better by taking a part-time job. Finally, students can make some money, which helps to unload their families’ financial burden.

Of course, it may be true that part-time jobs disturb students’ focus on study in some conditions. Firstly, some students spend too much time doing part-time jobs while neglecting their studies. Secondly, when taking part-time jobs, the students may be distracted from their studies by the colorful lives in the society. Thirdly, some students may be cheated or hurt by their employers, because they don’t know how to protect themselves. However, these negatives do not constitute of a sufficient support to ban part-time job in terms of students. Obviously, compare the advantage and disadvantage of both edges, the most striking conclusion is distinct.

Given the reasons discussed above, some affect though part-time jobs do have, it cannot conceal the herculean positive in the opposition. only by taking a part-time job can students gain knowledge preferably, only by taking a part-time job can students apply their major’s theories practically and only by taking a part-time job can students relax themselves effectually.

中国一般不实行兼职(part-time job)的政策，但在经济体制改革(the reform of economic system) 中, 允许职工在完成8小时工作任务外，利用业余时间从事第二职业(secondary occupation)，允许教师、科技人员(scientific worker)、律师(lawyer)在不影响本职工作的前提下兼职，并取得一定的报酬(reward)。此外，中国还有些兼职是不宜领取报酬的，如行政人员(clerical staff)兼教学，教师兼行政职务等。
