Studies from the Bureau of Labor Statistics have shown that undergraduate college students who work part-time (up to 20 hours per week) have higher GPAs than students who don’t work at all. Many credit having to become more organized and learn time management skills to juggle going to school and having a job. However, working more than 20 hours a week can have the opposite effect as stress increases and work cuts into school time.
The saying “it’s all about who you know” is true. Having professional connections can open up opportunities you wouldn’t have otherwise, and building up a network of contacts before college is even over is a huge benefit to working in college. You never know - someone you meet at your college job could be key to getting your foot in the door of your dream job after college.
