[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My college kids pay their own premium. They are in my plan but they pay. [/quote]

With what money? [/quote]

DP:  with their summer job(s) and likely a PT job during the school year.  Kids can earn $10-15K in a year without working more than 10 hours PT during the school year....work summer and most breaks.  It's what most of us did 25-35 years ago to afford school/life.  It's what non-rich/UMC+ kids have to do

Please tell me what kind of jobs these kids are doing earning 10-15K while enrolled Full Time in College?

Honestly, no cares what happened 25-35 years ago.... [/quote]

In my area minimum wage is over $15/hr.  You go to target/stores and work for $18-20/hr for 40 hours a week during summer and all breaks. 12+ weeks over summer is $8-9K, more if you have 2 jobs and work 50 hour/week+.  Or waiter and get tips and you will make even more.  Then you get a 8-10 hr/week job while in college (many available on campus and nearby) even at 10-12/hr that is $400/month. Work when home over xmas for 2-4 weeks and also spring break.  A kid can earn 10-15K quite easily if they want to work.  The jobs are out there.

Or work less hours and earn less, but if your kid is not contributing 5-10K yearly, then they are not working hard.

And yes I did that while in college with two time consuming and one very difficult major, and while overloading almost every semester (over 6 years worth of courses taken in 5 years).

I see adults in other forums unable to get these jobs. I rarely see anyone under 21 working at target.[/quote]
