How does work affect your GPA?

A question has been brought to my attention that I have found to be very interesting. Does having a job effect your GPA? "Of course it does," is what I believe I would hear from everyone as a reply but, I think that the real question is HOW does it effect your GPA? Now if you ask me, that is a better question.

When wondering how work and school can correlate most people immediately say that you shouldn't work while taking full time hours as a college student. This can be true for some, but for others, the 12 required hours that it takes to become a full time student is not enough to keep you content all the time. No one can study all day long, and no one is expected to, so everyone's question becomes, should you work while you attend college?

My answer to this question is "YES." You just have to find a job that will become a stability for those hours that you aren't studying. The job you should look for should be one with flexibility, only part time hours a week, and a location close to your school to make the travel time the least possible. Where can you find a job like this? The answer is simple, on campus. Student employment on campus can help students to have a stable job around 20 hours a week right next door to their classes, while offering flexibility and understanding for those weeks that are busier with homework that require hours of studying.

What most people don't know is that surveys have been done to find out how full time students with jobs end up on the GPA scale. Though it may be surpising to you, students employed around 20 hours a week have a better GPA Average of 2.75 than students who are not employed at all and hold a GPA Average of 2.69. This takes all that misrepresentational theory that college students shouldn't work and throws it out the window. College students should work, they should just hold jobs that are reasonable with hours and flexibility. Applying for these jobs on campus is easy. Here at UNO all it takes it a few minutes to sit down at a computer.

When applying for jobs at UNO you should visit the site http://careers.unomaha.edu/. Once you are there you will be able to search the available jobs and find one that will suit you. Then all you have to do is fill out the application and submit it. Working on campus is a work while experience. It can become the strong footing that you have been looking for in your time at UNO.
