Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dalam situasi menemubual pelajar tahun tiga, Fakulti Pengajian Bahasa Utama dari Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM), Nilai, Negeri Sembilan secara dalam talian. Kajian ini melibatkan 3 responden. Pengkaji menggunakan kaedah persampelan rawak mudah untuk memilih sampel. Data penyelidikan dikumpulkan melalui pemerhatian, analisis dokumen dan temuduga. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan terdapat kelebihan dan kekurangan kepada pelajar USIM yang bekerja semasa belajar. Antara kelebihannya adalah dapat menambah pendapatan dari segi kewangan. Mereka juga mendapat pengalaman baharu untuk kerjaya dalam dunia pekerjaan. Ini penting agar mereka tidak menganggur pada masa akan datang. Kelemahannya adalah boleh menyebabkan tekanan emosi seperti keletihan dan kurang tidur kerana kesukaran membahagikan masa antara waktu belajar secara dalam talian dan bekerja terutama berdepan dengan cabaran semasa ketika Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan (PKP) yang dilaksanakan kerajaan sekarang.
