This is an overview of our study on the effects of working as a student in college. We hypothesize that most students’ academic performance is affected by the different factors that surround a student with a part-time or full-time job. Our study utilized a survey to ask students the amount of credits they take per semester versus the hours they work per week. We also asked them to rate different aspects of student life from their diet to their sleep patterns. Our purpose is to help students consider the impact of working while in school.
