Students who work vs unemployed students

There are two types of students: those who work during their studies, and those who don't. Both cases have advantages and disadvantages. The working student takes on a part-time job in order to finance his or her studies and pay the rent. Even if you cannot afford to live according to your own rules, there are a lot of possibilities which you can choose from. Renting a single room or sharing an apartment with your friend(s) can be another great opportunity too. If you manage your time wisely, you can find enough time to study and work too. Although it does take a lot of extra effort to focus on your job and get good grades at the same time, you can do it if you really want to. Working while you are studying at an university can be beneficial for you, because you can gain valuable experiences and make life-long relationships. Moreover, it makes you independent in a way, because you no longer depend on your parents. Knowing that you are the one who are responsible for yourself gives you a lot of freedom but sometimes it can be confusing. The other type of student is the one who doesn't work during his or her studies. In this case, you have plenty of time to study, sleep or meet with friends. You don't have to sacrifice your time in order to earn money to pay the rent, because you are maybe living in your own flat and maybe you are lucky, because you got into a state-supported part of the university. Sometimes it has its drawbacks, because you fully depend on your parents and they can use this fact against you anytime you misbehave. If you are this type, the other reason that you don't work, is because you manage your time horribly, and having a job on top of the tons of studying could seriously affect your grades. The only thing stopping you from working is the fact, that you don't use your time wise enough. In conclusion, every student has their own struggles, whether they are working or not working during their studies.
