Should students work during school holidays?It depends on one's own judgement.As for me,i would think it is a good choice.There had been an increase in students working during there school holidays,working for extra cash in the pocket,that's probably the main reason for it.
First of all,parents usually give pocket money that is just enough to support the child in school,examples like lunch.As the child grow older and mix around with friends,they learnt to go shopping with their friends,having simply lunch or dinners.This increase a lot of their daily expenses,which eventually lead them to start working and get more money in there pocket.
Secondly,more and more students,even as young as ten years old,are starting to buy branded goods."Showing off" seems to be their aim.Parents may chip in money at the start to buy their children branded goods but of course,it will never be enough,the child will ask for more.This is when the parents stop contributing as they think its too much.The parents will then ask their child to save up.Saving take a long time,so students will want to earn quick money and that's to work.This point also show why nowadays,the child seem to have more branded goods than their parents.
Finally,ages of fourty-five years onwards,who are jobless are having a hard time to get a job.As a jobless parent,it would be a great help for their child to start working part-time to help support the family.This would help in finance while the parent continue to find a proper job.
All in all,no matter for what reasons,to help support the family,to buy branded goods and follow up fashion or simply getting extra cash for emergency,its good for students to work during their school holidays.
