Students working part-time during the summer

During the summer, many students choose to work part-time to earn income and gain practical experience. This is also the peak season for the service and tourism industries; the demand for seasonal workers increases, creating opportunities for students to find suitable jobs.

Add more hands-on experience.

As early as the end of May, many students began looking for part-time jobs. Businesses in the service and tourism sectors often prioritize hiring students because of their dynamism, quick adaptability, and flexible working hours. Nguyen Thi Kim Thuy, a second-year Marketing student at Nha Trang University, said: “I’ve been working as a waitress at a coffee shop in Nha Trang ward since the beginning of June, working 4 to 5 hours a day, earning about 2 million VND per month. The job not only helps me cover my living expenses but also hones my communication and problem-solving skills.”

Le Van Hai, a second-year Information Technology student at Nha Trang University, shared: "I work as a ride-hailing driver, driving for 4 to 5 hours each day, earning between 150,000 and 200,000 VND after deducting expenses. What I like most is being able to manage my time independently and meet many people."

Sharing his thoughts on letting his children work part-time, Mr. Le Phu said: “I don't place too much emphasis on how much money my children earn. What I want is for them to gain more experience. When they work, they will understand the value of labor, become more independent, and be more responsible for themselves. These skills are essential when they graduate and enter the formal work environment.”

Challenges at work

Besides the benefits, the summer part-time work experience for students also presents many challenges. Le Van Hai shared: "The biggest difficulty for me is having to constantly travel outdoors. Some days, I have to drive continuously for many hours, but other times there are few customers, making my income unstable. In addition, finding my way, ensuring I pick up customers on time, and maintaining a cheerful attitude in all situations creates a lot of pressure. These experiences require me to cultivate patience, communication skills, and proactiveness in life."

Sharing about the pressures of working part-time at a convenience store, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa, a first-year student majoring in Finance and Banking at Pacific University, said: "The job helps me earn extra income to cover living expenses, but it also comes with many difficulties. On weekends or holidays, the number of customers increases, forcing staff to work continuously. In addition, standing for long hours, checking inventory, and handling unexpected situations with customers sometimes makes me feel quite stressed."

Pham Gia Han, a second-year tourism student at Khanh Hoa University and currently a collaborator for a travel company, admitted: "I used to think my job was mainly about communicating with customers, but in reality, there are many more tasks involved. Initially, I felt quite pressured adapting to the professional work pace. Thanks to this part-time job, I understand the requirements of my future career better."

Despite certain difficulties and pressures, part-time work has provided students with many valuable lessons about skills, responsibility, and independence. Ms. Nguyen Thi Be, Head of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at Khanh Hoa University, shared: “Choosing to work and gain practical experience is the best way for students to develop their character and understand their own abilities. However, they shouldn't let themselves become so engrossed in work that they become exhausted. Don't be afraid of rejection, and don't be discouraged when facing difficulties. Every experience, whether successful or unsuccessful, is a valuable practical lesson that helps them grow.”
