The typical college student spends most of his or her time studying and, occasionally, participating in various sports or extracurricular activities. Increasingly, however, it has become common for university students to take on part-time jobs or even start their own businesses prior to graduation.

Students who launch their own businesses or take on part-time jobs can gain valuable insight into their future career path. To illustrate, by taking a summer job as an accountant or marketing analyst, business majors could see whether a particular field interests them on more than an academic level. Despite the benefits to students of “getting their feet wet” in the business world, it is critical to maintain academic studies as a top priority. Students who already have a heavy course load should limit their number of work hours and, if possible, ask for a leave of absence during examination periods.

Ultimately, every student must decide how best to allocate his o her time outside of class. For those with a manageable schedule, exploratory mind and entrepreneurial spirit, work experience prior to graduation can offer important career benefits –not to mention a paycheck.

参考译文

大学生一般会将大部分时间用于学习，有时候也会参加各类体育活动或课外活动。但是，大学生兼职或在毕业前就开始创业的现象也日益普及。

创业或兼职的学生对自己未来的职业道路能有清晰的认识。例如，主修商业的学生若在暑期兼职做过会计或市场分析师，就能知道某个专业领域在现实中是否能真正地吸引他们，而不仅仅只从学术的抽象角度去看待这些专业。尽管学生能在涉足商界的经历中获益匪浅，但将学习放在首位仍非常关键。课业繁重的学生应该控制工作时间并尽量在考试期间请假。

最终，每位学生都必须知道如何才能最好地分配课余时间。对于那些能合理安排时间，有探索精神和创业理想的同学而言，毕业前的工作经验会使他们在未来的职场中受益匪浅，更别提他们已得到的那份薪水了。
