Why they should get a job
Benefits:
Studies show that students who work are more confident and possess better time-management skills than students who are not employed. In addition to offering a paycheck, some independence and satisfaction, a part-time job can provide both training and experience. Working teaches students about responsibility and can also reinforce what they are learning in school.

Why they shouldn't have a job
Challenges
On the other hand, experts agree that students who work more than 15 to 20 hours per week often experience decreased school success, which can lead to dropping out entirely. Working long hours can also limit opportunities to build friendships and explore interests that enhance intellectual and emotional development.

My opinion on this topic
I kind of lean towards that they shouldn't get a job so that they can first complete school and get a degree.
If they do this, they will be able to get a better job.
