...” This is the typical response from faculty members and administrators who are asked how much undergraduate students should work at paying jobs while attending college. Available research supports this recommendation. Quantitative studies consistently show that retention rates are higher for students who work a modest number of hours per week (ten to fifteen) than they are for students who do not work at all or those who work more than fifteen hours per week. Research also shows increased academic success for students working on rather than off campus. Unfortunately, this simple recommendation is no longer feasible or realistic for the typical undergraduate. Most college students are now not only employed but also working a substantial number of hours, a fact not widely understood or discussed by faculty members and policy makers. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, in 2007 nearly half (45 percent) of “traditional” undergraduates—that is, students between the ages of sixteen and twenty-four attending college full time—worked while enrolled. About 80 percent of traditional-age undergraduates attending college part time worked while enrolled. (See figures1 and 2.) The share of full-time, traditional-age undergraduates working fewer than twenty hours per week has declined during the past decade (to about 15 percent in 2007), while the number working between twenty and thirty-four hours per week has increased (to about 21 percent in 2007).

...Effects of Employment on Student Academic Success Compiled December 2006 BYU Employment Services The average yearly costs of education continue to increase around the country. According to the College Board’s “Trends in College Pricing”, the 20062007 average total costs (including tuition, fees, room and board, books and supplies, transportation, and other expenses) are $16,357 for fouryear public colleges and universities; and $33,301 for fouryear private colleges and universities. These costs represent nearly a 6 percent tuition increase from 20052006. Inflation during that same period was approximately 4 percent. As anxiety rises concerning the escalating costs of schooling, students are left with the decision of how to fund their education. Some take out loans, or qualify for grants or scholarships. Others, however, are left to pay their own way by means of fulltime or parttime employment. Approximately 80 percent of all college students are employed while completing their undergraduate education (Riggert). Many studies have been conducted to determine the effects of fulltime and parttime employment on the academic success of college students. The purpose of this paper is to summarize some of the general findings and implications of these studies, and to provide suggestions regarding how university studentemployment offices may utilize these data. Effects on GPA A major factor in determining the positive or negative effects of employment on the academic performance of students is their GPA...

...Academic success in high school is determined by a wide range of factors. For some students, they may not have all of the perfect components, but they rise above their difficulties to have success. On the other hand, there are students who have every positive stepping stone possible, and yet they do not meet a high level of academic achievement in high school. These are some of the factors that can impact academic success in high school. Students, who succeed, usually have some combination of these factors in their background. Determination Whether a student is gifted academically or not, a consistent factor is personal determination. Students who are invested personal in a personal goal, whether it is simply graduating from high school or going on to post-secondary school, generally have higher levels of academic achievement. Take the student’s determination to achieve out of the equation. Work ethic A key component to success is a student’s work ethic. Students who are willing to put extra hours in to study and prepare for projects and presentations tend to improve their skills and academic abilities. Students who take less challenging classes or are satisfied with less than stellar work often will have the result of average academic success. Home life As much as teachers, classes and schools are factors in student academic success, parents and guardians hold an equally important role. This includes having adult figures who are positive role models who value the importance...

...Background of the study Orszag (2001) Working while attempting to obtain a degree has become a pervasive lifestyle for today’s University students among the reasons contributing to an ever increasing trend of working during education could be the increasing financial pressures from higher college tuition and fees, the necessity of gaining social experiences, and academic requirements for practical internships. The likelihood of working while in school for college students has been increasing particularly as the cost of education has also been rising. Noni’s and Hudson (2006) Academic performance is measured by the standing of rates of grades of student in every subject. Having a high level of performance on the academic area of a student suggest its competency and high level of confidence on its certain field. Students have their own attitude towards learning and achieving a high level of academic performance. The development of their enthusiasm towards succeeding in their own field varies. In order for a student to succeed he needs to be armed with strategies and techniques that will supplement his desire to reach his goals. Crede and Kuncel (2008) One way is to have an efficient and adaptive study habit. This phenomenon can be linked to multi factors that affect their study habit. Such factors can be found in their environment, these includes the type of house they live in; the people around them and the level of support they give; the student and his family’s daily routines; the...

...(understanding yourself and other people) contribute to individual success both at university and later at work? Although individuals, students and professionals are required to work harder, they must also work smarter. A fundamental aspect of working smarter is for an individual to understand their unique capabilities as well as others’ in order to coordinate their actions effectively. Academics have positively linked an association between understanding oneself and having strong relationships with achieving success both at university and at work. At its core, intrapersonal intelligence involves an accurate self-representation that allows a person to effectively manage their life. Individuals must critically assess their personal strengths and weaknesses in order to identify areas in need of further development and enriching.

...Academic and Career Success Gen 201 September 18, 2014 Regina Baxter Academic and Career Success The world that we live in is very competitive. It starts when we are young with sports and our siblings and then that carries on to our academic lives. All through our education and onto our higher education it is a very common theme. Do the best you can, try to be in the top, never settle for less. It’s ingrained into us. And then finally when we reach our career field we realize that even with a great foundation, good references and the degree to back us up, we still have to compete for success. We have to want it and work for it, it will never come easy. Even though there are many resources, a students’ academic and career success falls to them alone. The first thing you have to realize in higher education is academic integrity you are reasonable for your own work. Do not buy papers, do not plagiarize and do not turn in assignments that are not yours. I know that this may sound like it’s an easy concept, but you’d be amazed at how many times I have heard of such things happening. Not only will it affect you but it could affect other students and reflect badly on your learning institution. Not to mention that if you start this habit now, in class, it could follow you through to your career. Do you really want to be that person? After you have decided you will uphold academic integrity you need to set your goals. Setting academic goals is very important and it’s really...

...Working Adult Students Gideon Ayoo In a recent ‘’meeting of the minds conversation’’ that I had with some of my formal colleagues from the Airline, it dawned on me that I was not the only victim of the ‘’working full-time Adult student syndrome’’ In the quest to achieving academic and personal goals, some full-time working adult students, face numerous overwhelming challenges ; including but not limited to financial obligations that have compelled them to working a part-time or full- time job while going to school full-time To effectively and accurately address these issues, it is necessary to obtain and review relevant credible peer-view based information from researched journals, publications and personal experiences. Information garnered from these reliable sources, will be utilized to effectively address the seemingly phenomenal challenges confronting ’’Full-time Adult Working Students’.’ According to Perna, L (2010), Students’ graduating rates have plummeted as a result of the anxiety created—when they juggle multiple roles while attending school and working full time jobs. Perna also indicated that, ‘’Ten to fifteen hours per week, on campus’’ was the response given by faculty members and administrators – who were asked how many hours they deem appropriate for students to work while attending school. Unfortunately due to the various reasons including but not limited to the ‘’Global Economic Crunch,’’ not many students have the seemingly luxury of working...

Having a solid understanding of the writing process and knowing your learning style will help you continue your achieve your academic goals. With these tools and exercising integrity, you will get the most out of your education while continuing to succeed.

There are other resources that can help you to reach your goals like academic coaching. Academic coaching can be a crucial step in helping students transition to college by providing a one-on-one interaction with a student focusing on academic planning, and performance. The coach encourages students to reflect on strengths related to their academics and works with the student to try new study strategies. The coach serves as a constant resource for the student to reconnect with throughout their college career (Robinson and Gahagan 2010). Academic representatives and success coaches will make great academic coaches because they will be with you for the duration of your academic...

...College Students Working: The Choice Nexus A Review of Research Literature on College Students and Work by Tina Tuttle, with Jeff McKinney & Melanie Rago I PA S T O P I C B R I E F S College enrollments have continued on an upward climb for decades, as more and more people recognize the value of a college education, especially the tangible value of the diploma in the marketplace. The past few decades have witnessed growing diversity in higher education, but with that diversity we also see dramatic changes in how students are funding their college educations. Adult degree seekers, firstgeneration students, students of color, and students from low-income backgrounds have become a mainstay in the growing mix in college today. This new mix challenges the persistent image of the of the “traditional,” direct-from-high school, white, middle-class college student on a residential campus, who may work part time, is dependent on parents, and graduates within four years. In fact this picture represents less than 27% of college students today (Choy 2002). Today’s college students face a complex set of dilemmas about whether to attend college, where to attend, how to pay, how much to work, how many jobs to take, how to pay credit card bills and car payments, how to juggle family and children, and how to balance these competing priorities while in school. The amount of time students spend working has been of increasing concern for the educators that serve them and, in some instances...

...also financially. Being a good parent and student go hand in hand. There is a responsibility and duty to be there for your children whether that be when they are in need or just being the financial supporting member of the family. Success in a career is directly influenced by your success in college. Setting a schedule to balance my day between school and my family is extremely important. Planning specific times throughout the day for my school, which would be while 2 of my 3 children are at school and my youngest is napping will set me up for greater success. If unexpected things come up then there is a backup plan, which is after my husband gets home from work and he gets his work done for his class. He will take over with the kids so I can do my assignment for class. If that is not possible then I will look at my schedule for the week and extend my school time throughout the week. I do what I can to not intrude on my family time. Having this schedule not only applies to my family, it also applies to my academics. There are certain periods of time during the day that I can sit back and work on assignments. Knowing when and how to do these assignments is extremely important in keeping the flow of the schedule consistent. A time and place must also be set when dealing with specific team learning activities. Other students can only work on the project during times they have available. This can cause a bit of an issue sometimes. Students who choose to wait until the last minute...
