Ummm... as far as I know a 21 year old so that means you are the ultimate decision maker?
Regardless, I know some parents would say, while you are going to school and living under our roof (not sure if this is the case)... Anyway, I would present it to them as a trial-case, as long as you can maintain your grades, you should be allowed to try it?
I would also present it as being... it is not like your going out at night to mess around, you are trying to be an adult and help pay for things, so it is a mature decision!
Well, you would have higher salary in night shifts, you should tell them that fact, maybe they will change their mind ;)
I say show them with your actions how responsible and capable you are. Make sure you tell them how important that would be for you - then they will surely understand. But when you're telling them your reasons, make sure you're calm, relaxed and factual - not easily angered or impulsive if you see doubt in their eyes from the start. Stay positive.
Also resonate their reasoning for not letting you do it - so they know you understand them as well... that you're not only looking out for yourself. ;)
Oh man. Unless your parents have 100% faith and trust in you, it may not be easy. Especially considering you're a student. They'll say you won't have time for assignments, might actually not be at work... those things.
But let them know that unless they'll willing to help you financially all the time, that you're going to need a job. & since you're in school in the day time, the only other option is night. Ask them to let you try it and see how it works out after a week.
You are 21. You are old enough to make your own decisions. Explain to them you also want independence and that it will benefit them and not just you. Plus for some people the busier they are, the more time they actually have. I'm like that. The more I have to do, the better I thrive. I'm at my laziest when I have nothing to do and have too much time to my use. I'm more productive busy.
You can talk about how good the job experience would be for you
And the pay... if its really good
If you know any girls/guys around your age who works there as well, point that out.
Ask your parents to come pick you up when your shift is over, that way they would know that you would be safe

Well I can in a way see their point of view and maybe you can as well.. they are looking out for you as most parents do for their children.. lots of women have been.. taken, mugged. attacked, and even worse working night shift jobs.. but if there are going to be some people near by you trust you may get them to side your way, good luck to and I hope all works out for you
Maybe present it from the angle of wanting practical experience, earning an income, that will help establish your independence and get more out of your education, being able to weigh its utility in the context of a practical and not-so-ideal working environment, giving you motivation to work harder.
Maybe you could figure out what they don't like about it and go from there? So that way you can pinpoint the things you can make (or at least make seem) better so they will be more inclined to letting you work there at night.
Honestly just tell them to give you money that you'd be making in the night shift or let you work lol.
Have a plan. Dont just say that you want to. Explain why and how you'll sleep and do your homework
well you are 21 right? your an adult you need to make your own life choices
show your responsile and that you can handle school and a job
And when do you plan to sleep?
