Being a Working Student Being exposed to the “adult” world has changed my life drastically, recently having to take up a “part time” job to help pay for my college expenses has been extremely difficult. Finding ways to balance being a full time student, as well as a “part time” retail worker has been extremely hard, having to make sacrifices, financial dissensions, and trying to maintain a social life, as well as making time for my family. Since first starting my job at JCPenney back in august I have noticed my whole life has revolved around my job more than school may have. I have noticed the leaders that work in retail seem to find some kind of joy from the employees they can over work, this is what I have noticed I have become a victim to, an over worked retail employee. And there is my reasoning behind the quotation marks around the word “part time”. Many of my co-workers are also around the same age as I am, also attending either a local high school, Fresno City, or Fresno state. Having to work long hours during the week, staying late after closing hours to fix up the store, just to have costumers come back the next day and mess up all our hard work. Managers making us feel horrible and telling us “your letting your team down” As stated by my morning stock manger, Tiffany, just because we can not stay past our scheduled time due to the assignment we have do the next day. There has been many times where I could not stay longer like the rest of my coworkers due to a
Being a non-traditional student, I have the opportunity to attend school while also pursuing a career in Information Technology (IT). Within the field of IT there are many avenues to explore ethics depending on the type of business that is being supported, or what the technical specialty may be. For instance, if the business operates in a medical environment that treats patients, there are privacy concerns, and ethical standards that must be followed. The same can be said for the financial community, and education. While the breadth of Information Technology and the available specializations are vast, perhaps even more impressive are the amount of trust and ethical burden placed on the Information Technology professional.
I am going to tell you 3 pros and 3 cons that affect students the most while working high school. Students can gain interpersonal and communication skills. Learning how to effectively communicate and work with others towards a common goal can be very helpful when students get older. In most jobs, you will be one member of a group. Regardless of whether this be your colleagues, or your representatives, you should use relational abilities both to save the congruity of the working environment and to guarantee that they achieve their objectives and targets.
The theme of overemployment is a current problem in the United States. Americans are overworked. Workload has increased and society has experienced a loss of leisure. Overemployment and overworked can be defined as negative effects that occur when individuals are required to work more hours than they want to work. “Personal perceptions of workload are critical, as individuals have diverse reactions to the number of hours worked depending on their needs, lifestyle, expectations, and experiences. Individuals have different tolerances for demands and stress. While many, including professionals
I get to meet a spectrum full of people, from one end to another. I get to witness the most bizarre people, rude people, kind and down-to-earth people, people with disabilities, and many more in the spectrum. I get to hear personal stories and develop relationships with customers. Majority of high school students revolve their lives around quarter grades and romantic conquests. That is the beauty of working in customer service at 17 - that I am demanded to face the world outside. I work with people who live on a paycheck-to-paycheck basis, people who were abused by parents, people who got lost in drugs and pulled their lives back together, people who have their masters, and people of all different religions, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Teenager’s worries are focused around not being able to face the real world once they depart high school, but working at Starbucks has given me that introduction to the outside world.
Everyone talks about how expensive college is now. How professors don’t care about the quality of the students work anymore. How they find everything they learn boring; and they aren’t paying attention in class. I disagree, if people complain this much about college…. Why do they go? “Nonetheless, there is incessant talk about the ‘failure’ of education” (412) Gary Gutting states in his article “What is College For”. Education isn’t really failing, Gutting is only talking from his perspective in this article, and not the perspective of the actual students who go to college.
“Balancing school and work has never been hard for me, Chance said. “I was a straight A student, had a straight and I had a consistent work schedule. School, work, homework, and studying getting home around 1:00 a.m. everyday”. Chanetris Chance, was on the deans list all throughout her time here at Florida A&M University.
Going back to school has definitely been a great challenge for my family and me. I had to learn all over again, to juggle between school, work and family. Leaning how to write a paper in the APA format was initially a struggle. I am so glad that I decided on going back to school. I did not realize the difference and importance of having a BSN vs ADN degree. According to Wagner, there will be “greater opportunity for career advancement, improved prospects for job mobility and security and higher potential earning” (as cited in American Sentinel, 2013, para 2). Wagner also believes “there is no way that nurses can get all of the needed knowledge with only an ADN degree” (as cited in American Sentinel, 2013, “Greater Opportunities”, para

Just imagine, waking up in the morning, then getting ready, get to school, then dismiss, going to work, then go home and sleep, wake up and do every one of the steps over and over. With teens, being high schoolers or college students, getting through their present school is very important toward their future and career. Although school is important, so is having a job. Jobs bring responsibilities and better yet, working at a job brings home money! Both going to school for all teens’ future and working at a job close to home is essential for every teen. Except it is very stressful to those students, it is difficult for them to work and balance school. Unless they have wealthy parents that can buy them
There is an abundant amount of people in this day in age, who decide to just glide
There is a time where everyone has to stop being a kid and grow up to become an adult. It is different for all depending on many things; such as culture, how you were raised, the environment you lived around, and when you want to actually grow up and become something of yourself. For Indians cultures, it might be you have to go own a journey of some sort, Africans you might have to go kill a lion, for most Americans it is going off to college. At least for me, it’s going off to college. You face many things when in college that will prepare you for the rest of your life. College is a “trial” for adulthood.
Going back to school after a long summer can be tough for many children and teachers! Students who are going into kindergarten may be extremely nervous about school along with their parents. This article gave wonderful ideas on how to conduct your efforts concerning the first day back to school. Most of the points in the article to me, were on the border of crossing the line of professionalism into the personal aspect of the teacher-student relationship. My favorite point the article was to great your students with a warm smile. Stockman (2015) believes that when you smile and really get to know your students it shows them that you care about them, and not just their grades. I see this point being put into action every Tuesday and Thursday.
While I was working at a fast food restaurant I was doing a lot of long hours of surprisingly hard work. I mainly worked with adults out at the store on the high way. During this time I had strong personal power but that is something that you must leave at home or mask over during work because mostly everyone had a structural power over me. Being older and getting paid more made all the adults feel that they were at the top of the work place hierarchy, which in actually fact we were all equal apart from the managers who didn't do any labour they just did paper work out the back because the store had just opened. If I was working with just the adults then I would be the one doing all the work while the managers where doing office work. I would be told by other burger room staff to do all the dishes, work the broiler, make burgers, cook fries and
I work thrity-five hours a week at a warehouse in Ontario California. When I first registered for college classes, I figured college would be fairly easy to fit into my schedule. After all, I thought, college students are not in class all day, like high school students are. So, I assumed the twelve hours a week I’d spend in class wouldn’t be too much of a load. But I was in for a big surprise. My first semester at college showed me that students who work while going to college face problems at school, at work, and at home.
The scent of fresh waffles, sound of radio pop music, light from the open sign. Just another long day at work. Everything is just like the usual. Restock utensils, greet customers, take orders, collect payments, and clean up. At seventeen, wanting to save up for my post-secondary tuition, I decided to work a part time job alongside school. I thought that not only does it give me money, it can also give me valuable work experience. Working at a part time job sounds like a perfect opportunity for me. However, after this experience, my perspective of working in the service industry completely changed.
