Students at Canadian post-secondary institutions must frequently grapple with whether to work and study simultaneously. On one hand, working during your degree could reduce the amount of debt you owe once you graduate. On the other hand, working part-time while studying could lengthen your degree or reduce your GPA.
That’s why two UBC Research Assistants, Kalli McIver and Jacob Sablan, have curated a Reflection Guide titled, “The Stamina of Working Students: A Guide to Human Flourishing (PDF).” This is a guide for undergraduate students to reflect on issues that arise from working while studying.
