[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, and PP here, I don' want my kids to have a job in college. Maybe occasional nannying or housesitting ~ but otherwise not work during the school year and work in summers. We also hope that each takes a gap year before college (after deferring admission/being accepted), 1/2 volunteering 1/2 interning. [/quote] The stats/research on the benefits of working a very part-time job in college are pretty clear. 10 - 15 hours per week is ideal. More is too stressful, but less also is correlated with lower graduation rates. https://www.aaup.org/article/understanding-working-college-student (this site is mostly aimed at working more than that, but it addresses the 10 - 15 hour per week ideal)[/quote]
