Children should take part time job in their free time or they should totally focus on their studies.

What are the advantages and disadvantages to children of doing so?

It is becoming increasingly common for youngsters to spend their leisure time working rather than prioritizing their education. While there are several advantages of this phenomenon, its downsides should not be neglected.

To start, there are some clear upsides of working as a students. Regarding, personal development, having a job enables children to be more financially educated by allowing them to feel financial burden. Once they experience the hardship of earning a living, they might stop taking financial security for granted and encourage them to manage personal budget by avoiding unnecessary purchases. As a result, they become more financially literate and secure, which can be beneficial in the long run. As for the work aspect of this decision, they can gain some experience, contributing to future job prospects. Experience they gain from working in their spare time might be one of the important factors of receiving high salary and getting a white-collar job, allowing them to be employed in a high positions. Take Google as an example, one has to have IT or marketing background in order to be employed in this company.

However, there are negative sides that should be taken into consideration as well. Firstly, starting work at an early age might reduce children's enthusiasm for education. Once they have their own income, they may prioritize their current job because they might find studying dull and unprofitable for their age, which, in turn, can result in a lack of expertise in certain fields. Another drawback of being employed at an early age is child labour. Employers might exploit young workers, as they may not be aware of their rights and, therefore, may not be able to stand up for themselves in certain situations. For example, the employers
might make them overwork and unjustly reduce their wages due to their lack of awareness, leading to both mental and physical problems, especially in the worst-case scenarios.

In conclusion, while the main advantages of spending spare time working for children are personal development and job opportunities, drawbacks range from a lack of interest in education to the exploitation of child labour.

Occasionally, for many years, and sometimes even throughout our lives, we experience a sense that something is missing. Even after achieving what we desire, we often find ourselves feeling dissatisfied again. Some might argue that this is simply human nature—a tendency to live in ambiguity. However, this is not something we should tolerate. We must confront our dissatisfaction with gratitude, as Tolstoy expressed:

"I may not have everything I love, but I love everything I have."

You are also part of someone else's story. You have influenced someone in a meaningful way and left a mark on their heart. Perhaps you listened at just the right moment and offered sound advice. Maybe you spoke of a person's beauty when they were filled with self-hatred. Perhaps you befriended someone during their darkest hour or when they felt utterly alone. You are a part of someone else's narrative: someone remembers your laughter, your appearance in detail, your manner of speaking, your habits, and your tastes. Someone has seen you joyful, broken, or in love.

It's strange to realize this, but it's also incredibly beautiful.

Learning another language brought back memories of my early days learning English, reminding me of the struggles I faced with vocab.
