It’s often true that jobs for students sometimes lead to employment after graduation, so it’s a good idea to think carefully before you begin working during your college years.
During my entire college life I worked as a bartender （酒吧招待）. I have to say that I really enjoyed that job, and was fond of the idea of making money without doing too much work. I also had the opportunity to socialize （ 交际） while working. I came to be known among the upper class, and gradually became popular on campus because of my job. However, working as a bartender can have the negative side that people tend to think that you enjoy drinking.
All in all, I wish I had thought more carefully before deciding to take that job. I got a Bachelor’s degree （学士学位）in English, qualifying（使···有资格） me to work as a writer, but so far I have only been able to use the skills I learned from that part-time job.
It would be different if I had searched for jobs related to writing or editing（编辑） instead of bartending. It’s commonly accepted that employment for students is only temporary （临时的），but we should never forget that it can connect to the work we get after we graduate. After all, employers not only look at the degree, but also your previous experience.
So before getting a part-time job while you’re at school, consider what you want to do for the rest of your life.
【小题1】Which of the following is a benefit（好处）of working as a bartender for the author?

But someday, all the work we have done will ____; we will go to college and go on to'have a suitable job．

       A．turn down     B．work out           C．pay off            D．get away
