I feel that students should work during the holidays.
Some students work to buy that desired Puma bag or Adidas jacket, while others work as a way to increase their pocket money, perhaps when there are financial problems at home.
Whatever the reason might be, I feel that working is a positive method to teach youngsters that the money from their parents is hard-earned. Also, working helps them set a goal for themselves. When they have reached it, their efforts paid off. Whether they realize it or not, the working experience they have gained would be helpful in the future and in their lives, where they would think twice before buying things out of impulse and throwing it aside afterwards.
However, time management and self-discipline still comes into the picture. Being students, they would receive holiday homework, and hence they must utilize their time well, in order to ensure that working would not affect their studies. Another thing is that they should take good care of themselves, and not tire themselves out because of wanting to reach their goals.
All in all, working would be a generally good experience for the students, but there must also be a balance of self-discipline so that the holidays would be well spent, and a time to learn, play and relax.
