What to pay attention to when studying abroad and working

1. Combine your own advantages with your work.

For today's study abroad part-time job, it has been very different from the previous way of working for international students, students should fully consider their own advantages when looking for a job, and manual work is no longer our only choice. It would be a big mistake if students blindly go to a restaurant or grocery store when they choose to work part-time.

Therefore, when students are looking for a job, they must combine their own interests and advantages, for example, if students like pets in China, they can go to work in pet stores in the United States after arriving in the United States, and if students like it, they can go to work related to **, so that they can not only earn money but also enjoy their own fun, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

2. Try to find job opportunities on campus.

Students don't have to work in the community during the school day, there are many job opportunities within the school. For example, the school's gymnasium, library and other places will often recruit some students to work, which is undoubtedly a suitable choice for those who have just arrived in the United States. Because we have just arrived in the United States, we are not very familiar with many aspects, and it may be a bit stressful to go directly to social work, and it is not easy for us to adapt to it, but the pressure of school is relatively not so great, and we can give ourselves more time to adapt to life in the United States.

In addition, working on campus is also close to the place where you study, study and rest, which not only saves you time on the road but also ensures your safety.

3. Work and study cannot be put before the horse.

Wages in the U.S. are generally relatively high relative to domestic wages. One of the more worrying problems is that once students experience the sweetness of working to make money, for example, after they can buy some things that they are usually reluctant to buy, some students will unconsciously increase their part-time work time in order to earn more money. Once students develop in such a long-term way, although they earn a lot of money in the short term, it will affect their grades and sometimes affect our physical health.

Therefore, students must clearly understand that their primary task in coming to the United States is to study and learn knowledge, and everything should be based on their own learning, and they must not let their work affect their studies, because once students fall into the trap of working to make money, the gains outweigh the losses for the long-term development of students, so this is a very important principle, and they must work on the premise of ensuring their own learning.

The most important thing to pay attention to is not to forget the roots, followed by objective factors such as local humanities, customs, etiquette, exchanges, and money.
