INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Many people are familiar with the concept of “work-life balance” – the ongoing struggle to keep a healthy split between times spent on your professional time. For graduate students who work full time, it is more accurate to talk about “work-study-life balance”. And that is a mouthful; it is even more of a handful. While it is technically possible to work full time while studying full time, it can be a bit like fighting a two front war both areas important and require constant attention, and ignoring either is something you do at your own peril and meanwhile you can ever forget your obligations on the “home front” either.
Parents work hard to give the best for their children. The government offers programs and solutions for the benefit and development of the people. And as an individual, students have responsibility to help themselves and be beneficial to others. Working students are these individuals who find ways to make things possible for them and to others.
Newmand (1981) explains that “during the age range of 14-16 almost all adolescents are still in schools. About 25 percent are working in unskilled jobs” (p.294). Student’s job have become a sort of trend among students around the world, who want to work while studying. In short, the term that suits this trend is “Earn and Learn” policy. Other reasons why student jobs are popular among students is they help to cope up with the constant increase on tuition fee, and a way to afford further education.
There is not just one issue facing working college students but multiple issues which although seem small can turn out to have impact on working college students. Some of the issue are studying college is challenging
