Job po e prob¬ lem Many college students throughout the nation find it necessary to hold part-time jobs to afford their education. However, sometimes that job poses new and unex¬ pected problems. Students find them¬ selves sacrificing their time, grades or so¬ cial life to pull in that extra money. Then they must evaluate all the aspects and set their priorities. Some students have been working while they were in high school. Others faced the job market for the first time when they made their decision to attend college. Many parents encourage this, feeling that working produces maturity and independence. Many students that work outside the classroom still have time to get involved in campus groups and activities and still keep their grades at a satisfactory level. Others must constantly struggle with this situation. Not all students face this problem. Work-study jobs, various scholarships and performance awards are tailored to fit the students’ schedules. Some employ¬ ers also understand that college should come first. But there is always the dilema of which is more important, money, grades, activities or personal time for self. Ideally grades are more important how¬ ever, there would often be no grades or activities to worry about, without money. To compound the problem some stu¬ dents feel the necessity to work at more than one job to make ends meet. It is hard to be a student and and employee, how¬ ever many found no other solution. These students push themselves onward and dedicate themselves to both areas of their college life. Working in the student-job program, Leslie Carlton runs errands in the Administration Building.
