[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, there are plenty of campus jobs at Yale that pay very well for very little work. I had friends who worked in the library or Dean’s offices for 20 hours a week, got paid well, and spent most of their time working actually just doing homework. Maybe one way to make your DH feel better is to ask your son to get a campus job for 8 hours a week or something. I say 8 only because there are so many extracurricular activities, and you wouldn’t want him to miss out on those for working when he doesn’t actually need it. [/quote]

Yale is also very generous with regard to undergraduate research assistants and teaching assistants and laboratory work, if that's an interest.  My child has had well paid opportunities in those areas since the summer before sophomore year and every semester since, in addition to the easy jobs, to which I'd add jobs in residential college offices, admissions and as special event personnel.. No way they have the same opportunities at Penn State.
I went to a highly ranked SLAC, and the on-campus opportunities and resources really did not compare to what is available at Yale.
