[quote=Anonymous]I had a full merit scholarship, but worked about 20 hours per week to pay for my books, apartment, etc. I worked a little as a tutor, which paid well, but for the most part, I worked minimum wage retail at the local mall. Graduated summa cum laude. I think most kids should have a part-time job in high school and college to teach them what it's like to have to work for money, and to have responsibility for themselves and what they spend. I agree with PP that full-time work would be too much to balance with studies without incredible effort. Finally, my part-time tutoring job was the launchpad for my future career, for which I am well-remunerated! So I also think it can give kids an advantage (more so than the now-ubiquitous summer internship).[/quote]
