Have a Question? V3

[Alexander]

 

What kind of jobs would you expect a 21 year old college student to have ?

Studying. If you don't take it as a full time job, don't expect a better one after graduation.^This.

I can tell you based on my own experience that you won't have enough time to do both well, ypu may end up being fired or get bad notes.

Doing both is certainly possible, though whether one individual can or can't is very subjective and dependent on the circumstances of each. I've balanced full-time education with employment twice. Once very successfully, once not so much.

I think personal dedication and motivation are big factors. I've managed studying and part-time laboring work but I certainly couldn't do anything more than that.

 

 

The best thing you can do is focus on your studies and get internships/work experience lined up for the summer.

Its all about getting a job that has flexible employers that will let you have a good availability to coordinate with your academic schedule. I'm a full time student doing just fine with a part-time job, as it's all about knowing how to manage your time. For instance, if you know you have a busy work week, you just need to make sure you knock out your assignments earlier than usual, so you can comfortably go to work.

 

The big issue is that students take too much workload when they don't choose the right jobs, like the ones who work overnights at UPS for example, then they're completely exhausted during the day when they need to attend their classes.

I'd say it's all about whether Dr. Feelgood provides you with the magic pixie dust needed to reduce your need for sleep, so much that it becomes compatible with the needs of The Machine™.

 

 

But unless you are the heir to some fantastic fortune, or you just generally don't care about your middle-class parents working themselves to their early graves for your education, the question doesn't present itself in the first place. You work while you study simply because you have to, that's how it is for the majority of students world wide.

I would be against taking up a job unless it was necessary (i.e. you cannot afford to stay studying without it).

 

For a minimum wage job you can earn about £50 ($75) a day, so £100 ($150) a weekend. That adds up to around £3,000 ($4,500) assuming you are in university for 30 weeks of the year. Also, you may have to deduct uniform, tax and travel expenses from this to get a true picture of the actual 'profit.'

 

To put that in perspective, if the job interferes with your studies, you could do down a degree class. The difference between a 1st class and a 2:1 class graduate's starting salaries are arguably more than the money made from the part-time job (and/or a higher degree class will get you a job sooner meaning you start earning proper money sooner). And the risk of falling from a 2:1 to a 2:2 degree class can be the difference between not finding a graduate job or not at all (my friend went to a top university but couldn't get job interviews for many months because many companies automatically filter applications by degree classification).

 

I'm not sure what country you're from, but I imagine similar classifications and employer requirements will apply everywhere.

 

If you want work experience to put on your CV, do it during holiday periods or take an undergraduate internship which will give you more relevant exposure employers will find much more appealing. The reference you will get from most minimum wage jobs is "John Smith worked from 10th January 2015 to 23rd August 2015" so the value it adds to your reputation is not much more than a tickbox to say "this person is capable of doing a job."

Pretty much what I was going to say, more or less.

So I've been here for more than a year now and still haven't done a proper About Me page. Should I go ahead and make one or should I forget about it?

[Alexander]

It ain't that important IMO, but sure, go ahead.

[RedDagger]

Your call, people who've been here over a decade haven't cared about it properly. It's nothing important, really.

I keep getting updates from my life saying someone viewed my personal info however I don't remember signing up for my life.

 

Did some research and apparently it's scam to hack people credit cards. I've been ignoring , but like I got an update and it found out The new city I moved to.

 

Should I be worried ? Last time I it said I still lived in my former city so I wasn't alarmed.
