[quote=Anonymous]Not trying to be snarky but I'm curious to know: If you're paying for all of his living expenses (including tuition, room, board, food, and presumable insurance for the car), what extras would he need money for that a campus job wouldn't provide enough to cover? Jobs on or near the campus usually cater to college student so the hours could be worked around his class schedule. Granted the money won't be glamorous but he'll make enough for gas, to buy a couple of t-shirts or take a girl on a date. I worked for extra money during college. My jobs varied from working in the library to a laundromat but getting my very own paycheck was pretty exciting. Not to mention, if you require or suggest that he get a job for the extras he may learn to be better at managing money than if you continue to give him an allowance or allow him to get a credit card. This is just my opinion but I wish you best of luck in making the decision. [/quote]
