| I thought your question about students who work getting "burned out" implied that you didn't work or didn't approve of students working while in school. If I misunderstood, I'm sorry. Are you saying that you are feeling burned out from your work?
Keep in mind that students who work do not all work at minimum wage -- in fact, I think it is fairly rare for a student who has a year or more of work experience to be getting minimum wage -- over time their experience will result in promotions or allow them to get better paying jobs. The only thing close to minimum wage jobs that my daughter has in college is her work-study job, but she loves the job and hours are very flexible. I think she also has time to read and study on the job - I know that was true for my son at his college work-study job. Both my kids also supplemented their work-study with jobs that paid well above minimum wage. |
