True but college kids don’t realize that their job at school has meaning. No matter your major, getting paid to do turf grass research looks a heck of a lot better than pushing pizza at Sbarro. Research jobs are generally given to people with higher GPA’s.
There are lots of grant funded research jobs on campus AND students can get federal work study money so it is free to the university. My son can make ~$2500 for little cost to the school.
Yeah—we’re paying for it! ;-)
