there are both advantages and disadvantages if we were to answer this question. if we were to think about the advantages, we could mention the ones i have just discussed. having a job at an early age helps us gain experience, which will be very useful to our later life. we may become financially independent and dont need to ask our parents for money each time we want to go downtown with our friends, or spend the holiday at the seaside or in the mountains.however, students who take a job might have problems in spending enough time on their study. if they work during the day, they may have to be absent from their classes, and if they work at night they will feel tired the next day. they may choose to stay at home, resting. whats worse, some students may even get bored with study.well, this fact happens every now and then, but there are cases when well-prepared students take a part-time job but at the same time they make time for study, too. and they have good results. their case is a good example to follow among the students who decide to work while being in university. anyway, we need to keep in mind that study is the most important job for a student.29. the writer believes that some college students work _. a. to learn something practical b. for pleasure c. to support their family d. for further education.30. what are the benefits for college students who take a job according to the passage?
