Some students give all their time to pack up their books and turn entirely to business. They say that they are taking real life courses to learn more about society and so they can keep pace with the outside world.\r\n This only one side of the story however. They are actually selling themselves out as cheap unskilled labour and at the same time are taking work from people who don\"t have access to a university education. What\"s more they fail to live up to the expectations both the country and their parents hold on them that is they shall make good use of their innate talents and limited time in the university to finish higher education.\r\n I think that as college students our priority is to study. Hearted efforts will only bring marginal results and the opportunity to excel in society through a solid educational foundation will have been wasted.
