The article focuses on how being a student worker can also affect the performance at job-related
activities, instead of focusing on the academics of the student. There is a demonstration using the
different types of student workers; some that work part-time and attend an institution of higher
learning full-time and students who work full-time and attend school part-time.

The article argues about how there is an effect on the education of a student-worker because of
the hours that job requires, leaving less time for the student to dedicate to his/her studies because
of the lack of government assistance. The time required for a job also has affects how often the
students are able to attend class as well as how much time they are able to study for each of the
classes being taken.

The focus of this article was to review the effects on students that were also part-time workers.
Surveys taken by the students showed that the student-workers were prioritizing job-related
activities instead of their studies. The study was done in order to highlight how universities and
institutions should offer more support for students that are in financial need, because of how
much more difficult it is to balance academics and a job.

Workers and Non-Workers. Biological Rhythm Research, 33(4), 417.

patterns of the student-workers in comparison to the non-workers, where the student-workers
slept less and also awoke at an earlier time. The article notes the sleeping patterns in relation to
the day of the week.
