The Life of Young Adult: The Factors Affecting the Academic Life of Working Students at Noveleta National High School

A working student is a student who balances studying and working to help meet their family’s needs. Currently, we encounter many working students due to the hardships of the times and the insufficient income of citizens to cover their needs. This is why some students decide to help and work while studying to assist their parents, juggling school work and employment. We can also observe that some students fall behind on submitting activities because they work while studying and have limited rest time.

This study discusses the challenges faced by each working student. Whatever the obstacles, every working student faces them to fulfil both their responsibilities and work duties. The study will show the difficulties that working students overcome to balance work and study for their families.

This survey of working students aims to understand how each working students feels and to grasp their situation. It is conducted to recognize and take note of each working student’s circumstances, so that their school can be aware that some students are falling behind on school work and sometimes even fall asleep in class because they work while studying.
