[quote=Anonymous]I was raised middle class and started babysitting at 12, got a real job at 16 and still babysat. I worked after school on Fridays and one 8 hour shift either Saturday or Sunday. Even then the $28k tuition at my college was A LOT of money and my parents had told me early on that I would I need to cover my books and other expenses while in college. I took every AP except one offered at my school, was valedictorian, went to an Ivy, was student body president among many other leadership roles, played in the orchestra, volunteered at a nursing home weekly, lectured at our church, etc. I also worked all through college and law school, save for the first semester of 1L when you can't (couldn't? I have no idea if it's still the case) have a job. And that one semester made me very unhappy as I had to watch my savings deplete to pay for my tuition/living expenses. [/quote]
