Bookish knowledge is though very important in a student’s life but his works are also equally important to him in the long run when he step out of the students’ life. So it’s very important to maintain a proper balance between books and work in a right ratio.
Working overtime and skipping college is not at all good, you are paying for that knowledge and if you can’t attain that properly or to its fullest then it’s a sheer waste. And just studying and studying will also not fetch you a good job after your studies are over.
