Can't if they are in grad or professional school. [/quote]

They can if they work part time[/quote]

Not in every program/university. The program my DD was most interested in did not allow attendees to have outside jobs. They could petition after their first year for an exception to have an outside job if they'd done an exceptional job during their first year of grad school. [/quote]

What kid of program is this?[/quote]

Law school or med school [/quote]

How would a law school even know if you have a part time job? If you don't tell them, how would they ever find out?[/quote]

I think you can get away with it in law school. I know of several friends who did. You definitely can't get away with it in medical school. I got my masters in child psychology and I wasn't allowed to have outside employment. My grad school stipend stipulated that the only employment I could have were my TA hours and research assistant hours. Assisting the professors and assisting the PhD candidates were my jobs through the grad program. Some held jobs on the sly, but always academic type jobs, like tutoring. Or babysitting a professor's kid. Professors would look the other way if those outside commitments didn't interfere with your TA/research assistant duties. Program heads and department Deans were much stricter. I know of one person who was asked to leave the program during my first year because they found out she had a retail job. I went to med school after my masters and there was no way I could have had outside employment during that time.   [/quote]
