Iraqi female students work and study
7-11-2017
In its issue of today, Al Hayat reported that the majority of young Iraqis living in Iraq are in the lookout for employment before graduation for a number of reasons, namely to cover their tuition fees and alleviate the financial burden on their parents, gain experience and boost their confidence. Earlier, combining work and study was confined to males, with only a few young female college students who often worked as private tutors. Today, Al Hayat wrote, getting a part-time job before graduation has become a norm among female students and is largely prompted and inspired by the parents who assume that the girl is more willing to help her folks than the young male who chooses to spend money for his own comfort. Some young men, the newspaper said, seek to employ their sisters at the same office with them to facilitate transport from the university to the workplace and home and to ensure their safety. On the subject, Al Hayat spoke to Maysoun Majid, a pharmacy student at Mustansiriya University, who said that she managed to get a part-time job (5 hours per day) just to find time to study.
