The work in university students is of special interest for study due to the high percentage of students who combine work and school, and understanding the impact it has on their academic development is relevant for Higher Education institutions. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of combining work with university studies on academic performance through correlational research with a quantitative approach, in which the digital survey was used as a technique, and the analysis was done with descriptive and inferential statistical tools, the sample consisted of 305 students from a population of 1,358 from the Instituto Tecnológico José Mario Molina Pasquel y Henríquez, Campus Puerto Vallarta. The results indicate that employment has a negative impact on academic performance; students who only study have a lower failure rate and better academic results.
