[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP listen to people who have kids in college now. The "I walked 5 miles in the snow without shoe stories are a bit dated." Things have changed. It's hard for kids to get jobs especially if the college location is rural and he/she doesn't receive financial aid/work study. Our kids gets mostly all A's. If the grades weren't there that would be another thing.[/quote] I am the first PP and I agree with this. My DD is not on financial aid so can't get an on campus job - they all go to financial aid kids. She also does a sport that requires daily practice and quite a few weekends away from campus, so in town jobs are not feasible either (and the area is not exactly an economic boom town so there are plenty of local residents who need and take those jobs). To each his own though. If you want your child to work that's fine. I want mine to work during the summer, but it's simply not feasible during the year.[/quote]
