Seven ‘study-work’ types are defined on the basis of two variables: work schedule and work relatedness to specialty. 1) Full-time work from the 1st-2nd university year not in a specialty field (223 students), 2) Full-time work during senior university years not in a specialty field (264 students); 3) Part-time work / working from time to time not in a specialty field (1101 students); 4) Full-time work from the 1st -2nd university year in a specialty field (114 students), 5) Full-time work during senior university years in a specialty field (127 students); 6) Part-time work / working from time to time in a specialty field (491 students); 7) Only studying and not enrolled in working during university (1023 students).
