part time job as placement year - thoughts?

so i haven’t really tried to find a placement but i have until 31st august to secure one - if i find a part-time job, should i just take it as my placement year?

i have to work at it 30 weeks minimum, with 16 hours minimum a week. itll count 10% of my grade which i could really use.

is it worth it to take a year off?
