“When I was a student I was broke, so I took a part-time job to help support myself. I needed something that wouldn't interfere with my class schedule. I found a job at the local supermarket working twenty hours a week in the evenings. Mostly I took inventory and stocked the shelves. The work itself wasn't so interesting and it was hard for me to find the time to study. It was good for me though; I got some practical working experience and I learned a lot about how to manage my time. And plus, money. I mean, hey, who can complain about that?”

我读书的时候真是穷得叮当响，因此我做一份兼职工作赚钱养活自己。我需要一份不与我的课程安排相冲突的工作。在当地的超市我找到了一份工作，每个星期在晚上干20个小时。工作主要是编列存货清单，填充货架。工作本身不太有趣，而且自己也挤不出时间来学习。但还是有好处的，我获得了一些实际的工作经验。而且还学会了更好地分配自己的时间。而且，我还能赚钱。我的意思是，我可没有什么抱怨的。
