[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked my way through college, most of the kids I knew that dropped out were getting their college paid for.   Not saying the were alchoholics but yes partying was a big problem.  If you worked, you ended up spending weekends in the computer lab.

When you are writing your OWN check for tuition you value your education more.

[b]Apparently all the people on this thread never partied and were grateful for their parents paying for their tuition.  I did not meet you in college[/b].[/quote]
What in the community college hell school did you attend that A) A ton of kids were dropping out like flies  and  B)The ones who dropped out were having their college paid for????

And how terribly small and dsyfunctional must your social circle have been that you did not meet anyone in college who was able to party AND graduate? That's what most college students do.

I'll be paying the tiny gap between DC's merit scholarships and tuition including the 12 cents his financial aid award attributed to work study. I don't want DC to worry about studying and juggling a job--even an easy on-campus workstudy job, especially during freshman year. There's enough work to be done transitioning from HS to college, one state to another, your own room to a tiny dorm room and roommate, etc. (DC is an only child who has never had to share a bedroom.)

I didn't work during the college years and it made my college experience a breeze---and enjoyable. I'm no worse for the wear as an employee today because I did not work my way through school.[/quote]
