yeah nah, who would have thought having money for food helps you study better 🙄
except most jobs students get are shit retail or hospo, not exactly career building mate
correlation isn't causation. maybe the students who are smart enough to pass are also smart enough to get jobs. duh.
cool story but most students are working because they have to, not for 'experience'
yeah but they'd be working anyway to survive. the report is just stating the bleeding obvious
so if my kid gets a job at maccas they'll get better marks? sounds like a load of shit to me

working 20hrs a week while studying full time nearly killed me, but I guess the report says it's good for me. ffs
try telling that to my GPA mate, I was barely awake in lectures
this is just a way for the govt to justify cutting student allowances. 'oh you should work, it's good for you'. piss off.
more tertiary students than ever working because the cost of living is a joke. but sure, spin it as a positive 🙃
exactly. typical National government bs, everything's a 'choice'
honestly good on those kids, learning time management early. beats graduating with debt and no experience
