In contrast with my main argument some claim that work can actually help student's. Nonis's and Hudson's study, "Academic Performance of College Students: Influence Time Spent Studying and Working," suggests "that the amount of hours worked had no direct influences on academic performance," instead suggesting that "motivation factors and study time significantly interact with a student's ability to influence their academic performance." In addition, studies show that students who work between the hours of 10-19 actually do better than both the other students who work and the students who do not. 44% of the students working between 10-19 hours register having a GPA between 3.0-3.4, (37% registered having a GPA of 3.5 or higher) the highest percentage out of all the students: including the students who work and the students who don't (Dundes).. Many believe this is the case because students have a better balance and it can increase their organization.
