Student work
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Student work, student job or holiday job is work that is done for payment by pupils or students during their school holidays or during their academic year.
Often this involves simple work. Sometimes it is just earning some extra pocket-money; others use it for additional funds while studying. For example, in Belgium, as a Dutch speaker, people choose a holiday job in Wallonia to improve their language skills, or as an economics student, they try to get a holiday job in the banking sector to gain experience.
Many countries have laws that restrict child labour and prohibit work done by people under age. However, there are normally exceptions that allow for a student jobs with limitations such as hours worked or age restriction during the teenage and adolescence years. Younger people may also have a reduced minimum wage level.
