Abstract

TQuality education is the prime dream of every student. However, for the poor and underprivileged students, the burden of acquiring a college degree required a lot of perseverance and hardship. Therefore, this study revealed the experiences of working students’ failures, successes, and prospects. It applied a phenomenological qualitative research design where the twenty (20) identified working students, their select classmates, and teachers served as the population of the study. The data gathered through an in-depth- one-on-one interview with the participants and analyzed with the use of the MAXQDA software. The study revealed the situation of working students is really tough and very stressful. They have difficulty complying with school requirements. The advantages of being a working student help them learn how to prioritize and manage their time and boost their self-confidence. The disadvantages include incurring school tardiness leading to poor academic performance. The strength of working students includes being optimistic and managing setting priorities in life. On the other hand, the weaknesses of having difficulty fixing conflicting schedules and mental exhaustion
