Working Instead of Studying: The Reality for Many Students

University can be an exciting experience for many students. But for some, it can be a challenge to juggle studies with their financial responsibilities. Second year Leeds student Heidi Parker, 20, has been skipping some lectures to work shifts at a music venue instead. Unfortunately, she is not alone. With the rising cost of tuition fees, more and more students are having to take on part-time jobs to make ends meet. It's no wonder that a recent survey found that one in four students are combining work and study. Many are struggling to cope with the pressures of academic life, with some having to sacrifice their studies for their jobs. This situation is an alarming one, and it's clear that the government needs to do more to help students. Better-funded student grants, more flexible working hours and a higher minimum wage could make all the difference. It's time to put an end to the notion that it's perfectly normal for students to be juggling work and study. We must ensure that university students have the financial support they need to make the most of their studies.


Credibly reconceptualize revolutionary technology through scalable alignments. Intrinsicly initiate sticky strategic theme areas rather than backward-compatible innovation.
