Student Employment Part Two


There are a wide variety of reasons a student may chose to work on campus at Michigan State University. While some students work simply to make money, such as to earn tuition or have additional spending money, others may work to gain exposure to skills that may benefit them in their future career endeavors.

However, many students find it more beneficial to spend time focusing on school rather than working. 

Sophomore education student Tully Ann Williams said that she has been much more successful not having a job while at school.

"I have brought my grades up a ton while I haven't been working," Williams said. "It has really given me a chance to focus on school and not stress about when I need to go in to work."

Williams also said that it's helped her sleep schedule. 

"I have been able to sleep a healthy amount now that I am not working," Williams said. "You never realize how important sleep is until you know what it is like without it."
