I did work co-op jobs while an undergraduate, which provided some financial help. However, I still graduated with significant loans. The people I know who worked a lot during school, studied less, and ended up with a lower GPA.
- I wonder how much less a person earns after graduating with no debt, because they spent too much time working and not enough studying, which resulted in them having a lower GPA.
I also went to law school at night while working a full-time job. I’m still not sure if the 4 years that I spent not socializng, not exercising, and being sleep deprived were worth it.
