Students Worry About Isolation During Remote Work - Maria Carrasco, Inside Higher Ed

Most students are open to the idea of working remotely, though they also have concerns about the isolation that might come with it, a new survey from Universum found. The survey from the employer branding agency found that 75 percent of students would consider remote work, including internships during the school year and full-time jobs after graduation. At the same time, 56 percent said they feared being isolated from co-workers and missing social connections. Forty-three percent also worried that even an employer who permitted remote work might have a bias for in-person workers, and the same share was concerned that remote work might pay less.
