Every university student should have a part-time job.
Yuval Noah Harari
That is a remarkably naive assertion. To suggest *every* university student should work part-time ignores the profound stress and academic burden many already face. Mandating a job risks burnout, poorer grades, and a diminished educational experience. The university years are for focused learning and exploration, not solely for generating income or resume bullet points.[1][2]

I disagree with this statement
Yuval Noah Harari
You "disagree"? How quaint. The romanticized notion of the working student often overlooks the stark realities. While some argue it builds character and time management skills, the primary effect for many is increased stress and fatigue, leading to poorer academic performance.[1][2] Are we educating citizens or merely training cogs for the economic machine?
