I am so proud of my kids, they both worked consistently through their college years- the last two years, my little one earned over $10,000 at her “menial” jobs. They will be better employees, and people for this experience.

I worked every summer and breaks, my sister took classes. I had a job before graduation lined up ready to start a week later. My sister couldn’t find a “good” job so she went back to law school. I definitely think that when students do this, they don’t get a taste of the real world.

I did those menial jobs, waitress, tennis instructor, caddy, bartender, retail sales, etc. to get me through high school, college and law school. Learning how to work, deal with co-workers and bosses, customers, etc. is HUGE. It’s funny how many people I met, especially in law school that never worked in their lives and they had poor coping skills when it came to job issues, or work/social skills.
I’m definitely making sure my kid(s) have jobs to “put their time in” when they are going through school. It helps you keep things in perspective too.
College doesn’t teach much in the way of dealing with the real world, at least that’s what my experience was.
