It depends on how much you’re already spending money on living expenses.  If you can use your expenses to meet a quarter of your earnings, then it’s probably better to hold off, and keep the money to go towards your expenses in the future.  But if you’re putting yourself into debt, or you need some extra money for the year, then a part-time job is probably worth it.

I wondered if it was worth it or should you keep your mind or your studies?

That depends.  If you’re studying something that you’re interested in, and you find the material challenging, then it’s probably good for you to put more of your effort into that study.  But if you’re studying something that’s boring, and you’re spending time that you could be using to relax or learn new things, then a part-time job could be better for you.  If you’re worried about doing too much or studying too much, it might help to take breaks and learn new skills.  You could study humanities or arts, or take up a new language, or just hang out with friends.  When you’re studying, it’s important to be learning, but it’s also important to have other things that you enjoy.  You could also try doing things that are beneficial for you as well as enjoyable, like spending time with animals or being physically active.  If you want to do something for money, it might help to identify something that’s personally satisfying.  If you want to make a good amount of money, it might be helpful to do something that’s personally satisfying for other people.
