Should students choose to work the night shift?

Compared to the day shift, the night shift will have a higher salary and students can take advantage of the daytime to do other jobs. For example, some students, when they have to go to school during the day, they can choose to work the night shift to earn extra income.

In addition, working the night shift will help train your endurance. Not only that, night shift jobs are quite light, suitable for people without many qualifications or professional skills.

Along with the high salary and less work than the day shift, students who work the night shift also have to make many trade-offs. Working the night shift means staying up 7-8 hours a day, which is almost the same as the office hours of an office worker. Not to mention the fact that the next day students have to continue with their studies in the classroom.

Along with that, working the night shift will encounter many safety and security issues. This is one of the most worrying issues for night shift workers.

In general, working part-time at night will bring many new experiences. But on the other hand, students who stay up all night to work not only lack sleep, affecting their academic performance at school, but also face many other risks. Therefore, we must consider everything carefully so that working part-time does not affect our health and studies too much.
