利大于弊?还是弊大于利?留学生打工面面观

Reports on students doing part time jobs

在络绎不绝奔赴全球各地求学的留学生中,每个人都有着不同的身份背景和家庭环境。据统计,中国出国留学人员目的地仍相对集中,多数人选择前往欧美发达国家和地区求学。那么,摆在眼前的事实是,当这些留学生开始一段异国他乡的逐梦之旅时,昂贵的学费和生活费都是留学生家庭一笔不小的开销。所以,近年来,除却申请留学奖学金,越来越多的中国留学生选择在留学期间打工。对于一些出身工薪阶级家庭、家境不是特别富裕的学生来说,打工不仅是对自身能力的培养,更可以减轻家庭经济负担。而对于一些家境殷实的学生,打工也成为一种更好地了解到不同于校园的文化和生活的途径。就留学生打工现状而言,大多数的留学生打工是服务性的工作。因此,这种最直接接触外国社会和外国人的打工环境,便成为留学生融入所在国文化的最有效方式之一。

Every student studying abroad has a different identity and family background. According to statistics, the number of Chinese studying abroad is still relatively concentrated. Most students choose to study in developed countries such as Europe and the United States. When they start their study trip, the high tuition and living expenses are a big expense to their families. So many Chinese students have chosen to do part time job while studying abroad. For Some working-class families, the family is not particularly well-off students, not only for their own ability to work, but also to reduce the economic burden on the family.
