what a concept... get a degree AND work ethic at the same time!well, they are taking work study to a whole new level.
We have gotten away from the idea of students working their way through college. With college costs where they are, it would be good for students and families to consider that.
And, they should reconsider whether it’s worth it to get a degree in unmarketable fields such as women’s studies. Studying women may be fascinating, but, very few jobs or career paths recruit people with such degrees.
Fascinating and great system!
My jobs while in college: 1)Bagboy at a supermarket, 2)Night auditor at Ramada, 3) Two summers working for Mobil Oil as a Summer Roustabout, 4) Summer Camp Counselor, 5) Worked Christmas holidays at Service Merchandise. At the end of my college, I only owed $1000, which I could’ve paid off my first paycheck after graduating. However, mom and dad told me to make the $30 payments because the interest was only 3%.
We looked into this. There’s only about a 3-5% acceptance rate to the college. My kids could definitely do it and are qualified, but it’s pretty hard to gain entry.
what a concept... get a degree AND work ethic at the same time!I actually had a friend whose son went there-wasn’t much of a worker; got booted. His dad was some kinda po’d!
