The purpose of this research is to reveal positive aspects of university students' part-time job activities. We conducted an Internet survey of 1,024 university students and investigated part-time job perspective, self-efficacy of career choice, and career consciousness. We found that part-time workers among university students have higher part-time job perspective, self-efficacy of career choice, and career consciousness than university students who have no part-time work experience. The correlation coefficients between part-time job perspective, self-efficacy of career choice, and career consciousness were also higher for part-time workers among university students than for inexperienced students. In addition, our results indicated that among part-time workers, first-year university students showed higher scores than third-year university students regarding part-time job perspective, self-efficacy of career choice, and career consciousness. However, these correlation coefficients were lower for first-year university students and higher for third-year university students. Part-time job perspective as "one of the means to learn about society" and "enjoying" was positively related to self-efficacy of career choice and career consciousness. These results indicated positive aspects of university students' part-time job activities.
