Working Students
By Corey Gesford
There are over a hundred
students holding work-study or
wage positions here at Penn
State Hazleton. Many more are
working jobs off-campus as
well. Why? Because generally
parents can not afford to send
their children to school without
their child working part-time
while a student.
Some students work for their
spending money, books, maybe
to buy those little extras, but
more and more students are
working to just pay for their
tuition and room-and-board.
Generally, most students
would prefer not to work if the
same resources were' available.
Many feel that, although they
learn to manage time better, it
would be nice to have those few
hours to maybe study, use the
library, experience some of the
other things college life has to
offer.
But, is it fair? Is it fair to
ask students to go to school and
work. Many will argue that it
does not matter because the
students would not use their
time for anything more
constructive. But why should it
matter how they are using
their time if many of those who
do not work do not use their
time any better either. Maybe
if there were not so many
students working, more of them
would be involved in more
clubs and activities. But then
again, maybe there would just
be more students passed out on
a couch watching TV.
A Non-Working
Student
By: Jessica Balliet
As a full-time student, I
know how difficult it is to have
a part-time job. In many cases
students do not feel like
working for four or five hours
after being in classes for five
and six. Unfortunately, there
are many students who need
jobs to help pay for their
education. Lucidly, I have
parents who pay for everything:
tuition, rent, car payments,
food, and any extras I want. I
will admit, it is difficult to live
on a small allowance every
week, but I do not have the time
for a job with my schedule.
Being an engineering student
means hours of homework and
studying. Instead of working at
a fast food restaurant, my
parents feel I should be
involved in school activities. I
am currently a cheerleader.
This activity along with classes
and homework leave me with an
hour or two to myself to regain
my sanity.

To those students who have
no choice about a job, keep
working hard. lam not telling
you to quit your jobs. I admire
a student who can juggle classes
and a job. I, myself, feel lam
not able to do it. My parents
make it possible for me to
concentrate mainly on my
studies.

Students Who
Think Activities are
Harder than Work
Some students are luck
because their parents pay for
everything; however, as far as I
know most student do not have
such generous parents. A
majority of the students on this
campus work one if not two
jobs just to get by. Some
students receive help from the
government, student loans and
scholarships to pay for the
raising tuition each semester.
Other student receive a small
amount of help from their
parents, possibly having each
party paying one-third of the
tuition each semester.
A student who wants to get
ahead may take 15- 18 credits a
semester. The student who
chooses to take this many
credits may do so to shorten the
amount of years he or she is in
school, after all each year is
more money. Other students
however many only take the
required 12 credits so they can
spend time doing other things.
Of course you always have
the people who think they are
special, the goodie-goodies,
because mommy and daddy
give them anything they want.
These are the type of people
who make me sick to my
stomach. A far amount of
students work their tails off to
make enough money to put
themselves through school,
while carrying a full load of
class. These goodie-goodies
think that being in a few actives
with an average class load is
hard. Well I have something to
tell them, classes and work are
mueh harder than classes and a
few activities. If you want to
know what stress is try working
in the summer in stead of laying
out in the sun all day. Who
knows you might learn
something.
