Chapter 42 Part-Time Jobs

David：Is it common for university students to have past-time jobs?

You：Yes. It is very common.

David：What kind of jobs do they usually have?

You：They normally have jobs like tutors. How about the United States? How is it like for students there?

David：It is also common for university students to have part-time jobs, but not so much as tutors. Many university students work on campus. For example, some students work in the library, school store or dining hall. But some also work off campus as waiters or waitressed at local restaurants.

You：I heard it is a cinch for students in the US to find a job in college because the school offers many opportunities on campus. But in China, not all colleges have campus jobs for students.

David：So where do students get jobs?

You: Students look for job oppertunities in society. And for those students who come from poor families, they have to earn their own bread and butter. They have to find any job, even it isn't their interesting.

David：Did you have a job?

You：Yes, I had a job I worked for three years as a tutor. Studying English can give you more opportunities towards finding a job such as being a tutor. If you learn English, you can be a primary school teacher and tutor little children. So it is easier for English majors to find part time jobs.

David：Studying English does open doors.
