ABSTRACT
This study sought to know and understand the opportunities and challenges of working
students. Likewise, the study looked into the factors that prompted students to work and how
they were affected by the job. The study used qualitative research specifically
phenomenological approach in gathering the data. Interviews were conducted to substantiate
the study. The informants were thirteen students who worked in off- campus and on- campus.
The results of the study revealed that a working student is a person who works so he can finish
his studies and help his parents. Basically, students worked for their tuition. Being a working
student was becoming the best version of themselves. It was about sacrifice and most
importantly, it was about dedication and proving to the world that poverty will never be a
hindrance to fulfilling one’s dreams. The “poverty is not a hindrance to education” theme was
the crucial element of the informants’ overwhelming experience. To conclude, there were some
advantages that working while studying had brought to the working students. Although they
encountered some difficulties, they seemed to manage both studying and working
simultaneously. Working at the same time studying had positive and negative effects on the
personal needs, self-esteem, and time management of working students. Indeed, colleges and
universities may recognize and respond to the prevalence, characteristics, and implications of
working for today’s undergraduates.
