There is too much at risk now. If you work too much and then your GPA suffers. When it costs $100K you have a lot riding on the diploma. The globalists and their H-1B visas makes life almost impossible in the USA. This is why socialism is on the rise.
Good points but several of my students are working 30 hours a week and still getting good grades. Also, our college requires a four month paid coop between a student’s junior and senior year. Some of our business students make $10,000 to $15,000 in the summer. Our power engineering students working for a paper mill or power plant (with overtime) can make up to $20,000 during the summer.
The business students and power engineering students have 95% job placement in their fields within three months of graduation. But then our college is not a place for dabblers; students declare a major when they enter as freshmen.
