<p>Like whats the percetnage of students that work part time during the school year?</p>
<p>depends on college and campus. In cities almost all students work and all will work in some time.</p>
<p>I work!!! Of my friends, about half have work/work study. Most students who don’t work at my school complain about not having a job and being broke. There is a small portion of students also who have very difficult courseloads which makes it hard to maintain a job, but they are in the minority.</p>
<p>I work. I have an internship and do research.</p>
<p>I won’t be working freshman year, as I worked my ass off in high school and saved up a lot of cash (worked same job for 2.5 years). </p>
<p>I plan on getting another job after freshman year, though.</p>
<p>About 1/2 the people I knew worked, whether it be through the school or outside of the school.</p>
<p>Seems about half work.</p>
<p>I think about half of my friends worked as well, and I could be wrong but I think more people start getting jobs later in college once their comfortable with it. I had a job my freshman year, though it was only a about 10 hours a week as a janitor in a dorm right next to mine.</p>
<p>See I’m very frugal so I need to work. I have plenty saved and have scholarship spending money plus some extra loan money, but I just don’t like spending without having a consistent income. However, I don’t want to be stressing myself out during my first semester at college and I want have a little more free time then I did in HS (where I concentrated on my studies for the most part). So I’m not planning on working my freshman year, at least for the first semester. I want to enjoy life a little and get adjusted to my new environment. If I need to, I’ll get a job next semester, but I do have a good amount saved.</p>
<p>See the thing is that I usually work during the summer, I just don’t think I’m meant to have a job and do school at the same time. I only had a job once during the school year. Don’t get me wrong, I balanced it well, but it just sucks to work on weekends. It’s the only time I ever get to relax from doing a lot of school work. (I was salutatorian). And I enjoy sleeping; however, when I hear about the other type of obligations that many students balance I feel that maybe I’m just lazy. lol :p</p>
<p>Not too many freshmen I knew worked their first year because they were still trying to get into the groove of college life and balancing their classes. However, a lot of upperclassmen I know do work, whether it be internships, part time jobs, or research. And there are some others that don’t work at all.</p>
