It appears that kids these days are always trying to suss out part-time jobs whilst waiting for the release of exam results or during their year end holidays. I find this trend particularly worrying.

As a student, his/her academics takes top priority, even more so in Singapore where the education system is so unforgivingly competitive. I've witnessed more than a handful getting drawn into the hustle culture where they habitually overwork themselves during the regular school term/semester to the point of near exhaustion, to the point where it becomes a "lifestyle". So why still grind away instead of properly resting up when it's time to do so (assuming you or your family are not in any dire financial need)?

Going out to do part time work is good training for these kids. They get to learn real life things not taught in classroom. We should encourage them.
