Introduction
Background of the study
Numerous studies find out that working while studying is driven fundamentally by budgetary
need: to cover setbacks in different types of understudy bolster; to top up salary to give a
superior understudy understanding, or to help towards future objectives. It additionally
empowers understudies to share the duty regarding meeting the expenses of their
examination, furnishes them with a feeling of monetary autonomy, and creates abilities in
overseeing accounts. Because of the budgetary need, students should consider carefully the
money they used.
According to a study led by Endsleigh (2015), showed that eight out of ten (77%)
understudies are now working part-time to help them in their financial needs in school.
Being a working student is stressful most likely in balancing your social life, time for family,
school, and work. Figuring out how to manage the pressure that pursues with being a
working undergrad, and ensuring you have no less than one night off a week, can bring
down your stress levels ten times (Mitchell, 2016).
According to The Working Student (2016), to set down the job options of Filipino working
students namely online jobs, paid corporate internship, fast-food crew, and school jobs.
Filipino students are struggling because they have to meet the standards in their work so
that they will not lose their job and maintain academic performance so that they will not get
a failing grade. Around 216,000 understudies in the Philippines are right now juggling school
and work, the most recent information from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED)
Statement of the problem
1. What are the positive and negative of being working student?
2. What are the challenges faced by students when working while studying and how do they
overcome the problems?
3. What are suggestions and recommendations for students who are working while
studying?
IMPORTANCE
Adequate - satisfactory or acceptable in quality or quantity.
Threshold - the magnitude or intensity that must be exceeded for a certain reaction,
phenomenon, result, or condition to occur or be manifested.
Characteristics
According to Sandra Franke (2003), the average of over 4 hours a day to their
education and about7 to 8 hours of entertainment finds young people whose primary
activity is attending high school devote. Men spend more than half an hour than women on
rest and about half an hour more on unpaid work. In comparison to groups with other age,
students who are in high school still have the time for personal care and could sleep 9 hours
a day. There has a considerable impact on a student's time by adding a paid job to high
school students.

Kavarana (2013), discovered that there was an increase in the number of working
students, can be attributed to a desire to minimize loans and debts. Students felt the need
to limit their borrowing and therefore earn more of the tuition. Another benefit lies in the
feeling of self-achievement and self-satisfaction that is achieved through challenging oneself
with double the workload and two different lifestyles. It is all about pushing oneself to the
limits and proving to the world that one can manage their time in the best possible way and
make the most of it by working and studying at the same time. It also believed that such an
attitude reflects the abilities of hard work and determination in people, which are qualities
that every firm generally looks for. Whether it is about financial considerations or future
employability prospects, Alli (2010), stressed that the combination of working and studying
together is the key to success and is the foundation on which one's future and career
depends.
According to the research conducted by Watts and Pickering (2000), while working part-time
and studying full-time has a variety of positive outcomes, respondents generally viewed
part-time employment as a necessity to survive in the contemporary higher education
sphere. In Manthei and Gilmore's (2005) study, it is understandable that the money earned
from part-time employment is spent usually on essential living expenses.
