Firstly, in the job field, they can get new experience that is really valuable in their life. Sometimes the experience is the best teacher. Only few students can get a chance to have a job in the study time. In addition, in the job field, they also socialize with many people having different characteristics, so they will have experience how to face such kind of people. Automatically this is really helpful in their social interaction. For instance, they will be more patient to face arrogant and bad tempered people, and of course they can also solve their problems.

Although the amount is not too much to fulfill their needs, but they think that the money they earn can help their parent to fulfill their own necessity, for example to buy books that can help their study.

Meanwhile, they don`t want to ask the money from their parent anymore, and a part time job is really helpful to overcome this problem.
