I found 3 things from this survey.

 First, as Q3 and Q9, these answers showed us an interesting fact. Almost purposes which are answered from people who have a part-time job are to get extra money. Of course, everyone needs money to spend their own university life anytime, anyplace. However, working is not easy for us. 73% people who have a part-time job encounter complainer. I think this number is too high. So, No matter how our workings are stressful, we have to get extra money to spend satisfactory university life.

 Second, as Q12, This is the average of frequency of the attendance of working for a week of each grade. The number of freshman students and senior students are lower than other. Among 2^nd to 3^rd student, the number is increasing. I think that freshman students may not make enough time for part-time job, because they are not be accustomed for university life. And also, senior student may not make enough time, because they have to do job hunting. 2^nd and 3^rd year students would make enough their own time because they are accustomed for their university life and they have enough margin of getting credits. So, they may make time for part-time job.

 Finally, as Q17, now or in the future after you get a job, what’s the most important thing at work for you? Over 25% people answered that the most important thing is “high salary” and “challenging of workplace”. I think that it means even if the workplace is little bit smells black company; you can get high salary and you don’t care about it.
