I personally think that part-time work can affect students’ lives in both advantage and challenge. Since the part-time work can improve people’s quality lives especially in students by providing their financial circumstance that is suitable for more people to study and it attracts the students to do a part-time work since they can gain their salaries from their work instead of only studying and have to receive money from parents only. And moreover, I think the more positive way is that part-time work could enhance your practical skills in doing anything, especially in your workplace, because it allows you to learn more skills, such as soft skills like how you communicate with others and how you manage stress and I think it’s some kind of beneficial in that way. In contrast, I still believe that part-time work while studying is still have a potential drawbacks. For example, students or the learners could face some issue managing their time like they can manage their time during work and cannot balance between the studying and academic lesson and their work because it also utilized your time because one day have only 24 hours and you have to spend 8 hours in studying and then about three hours in working and you can manage them.

I personally think that part-time work can affect students' lives in both positive and challenging ways. Part-time work can improve people's quality of life, especially for students, by providing financial support that makes it easier for them to study. It encourages students to take on part-time jobs since they can earn their own money instead of relying solely on their parents. Moreover, I believe a significant benefit is that part-time work can enhance practical skills, particularly in the workplace. It allows students to learn valuable skills, such as soft skills like communication and stress management, which are beneficial in many aspects of life. In contrast, I still believe that part-time work while studying has potential drawbacks. For example, students may face challenges in managing their time. They might struggle to balance their academic responsibilities with their work commitments. One day has only 24 hours, and if students spend eight hours studying and three hours working, it can be difficult to manage both effectively. This time constraint can lead to stress and impact their academic performance, so it's essential for students to find a balance that works for them.
