Should parents continue to support all expenses after their child have on-campus job?

The only other suggestion I can think of if parent wants to reduce some of what they’re paying is that for every $2 the student makes, the parent reduces what they pay by $1. That way there is still incentive for the student to work and it’s not a $1 to $1 reduction.

A 50% parental income tax rate?

It would be better if parents told the student their expectations about student work, parent contribution, etc. before the student starts college and considers or gets a part time job. Ideally, it would be best before the student chooses (or even applies to) college, if the expectations would vary depending on the net price of the college.
