In education, students have different study habits/skills, which depend on and vary from individual to individual. Some prefer to read instead of attending class, some prefer to take notes, some may choose to listen, but in reality, most students choose to use multiple skills to succeed.

Returning to academics, we asked about parental help during childhood, the result is 51 out of 60 (85). %) responded that their parents helped them during the first few days of school, and nine out of 60 (15%) responded that their parents did not help them with their actual employment, 40 out of 60 (66 .7%) responded that they currently work and 20 out of 60 (33.3%) do not work. In this regard, 16 out of 60 (26.7%) worked on average between 15 and 20 hours per week, ten out of 60 (16.7). %) worked between 5>10 hours, five out of 60 (8.3%) worked 20 hours or more, three out of 60 (5%) worked between 0>5 hours and the rest 20 out of 60 (33.3 %) worked do not work at any time.
