[quote=Anonymous]As a former grad student I think it's easier to make 8000 taxable income in the summer than part time during the year. At a university it's hard to charge premium tutoring rates because there tend to be on campus services that pay lower hourly wages, or worse, make it part of a stipend work requirement (instead of TAing or something). It's definitely not impossible to work part time outside school, I did it and so did my friends with medical bills, but the money just doesn't add up very fast. Summers are better because you have larger blocks and can do more specialized and higher earning work. But only if your program doesn't expect you to be doing (funded) lab work all summer. That said, I'm not sure I'd have your kid plan their life around earning SS credits in their 20s. [/quote]
