[quote=Anonymous]I posted on the other thread as well -- I worked during summers as well as the school year, and that money went toward spending and incidental expenses, while my parents covered tuition & fees, room and board. I only worked about 12 hours a week, so I didn't make all that much -- certainly nowhere near putting myself through school. Beyond money, however, the term-time job gave my days additional structure (which I sorely needed). I had a roommate whose parents gave her an allowance so she wouldn't have to work. However, the allowance was less than half what I was earning, so she was constantly broke, and became a terrible moocher. She also became virtually nocturnal for much of our senior year, which in retrospect was most likely depression (not that any of us recognized that at the time). I really think she would have benefited from a regular work schedule of some sort.[/quote]
