If having a job is something that you, personally, need to get through school, that's just fine! But I do want you to keep in mind that not every student who doesn't hold a job during school is having their bills taken care of by their parents.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457660400364719989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167005103609983810.post-74198391490049094382013-12-12T08:10:32.740-08:002013-12-12T08:10:32.740-08:00It's not like that at all, I'm sorry you&#...It's not like that at all, I'm sorry you're reading into it like that, but there are simply other options to a job: loans; scholarship; attending private lessons like animation collaborative or Spungella that are financially doable Instead of choosing a school that costs 20,000 a year. We're not singling anyone out.<br /><br />None are the wrong option - I promise you, we are insensitive to no one's plight - It's just a matter of doing what works for you to get the job done. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457660400364719989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167005103609983810.post-44545076460366264132013-12-12T01:41:18.157-08:002013-12-12T01:41:18.157-08:00There is a big difference between needing income f...There is a big difference between needing income for the basics and spending money on nights on the town. People can't just cut out their income for housing like it's TV or a night out. It'd be great if all students could focus just on school, you should if you can. It's just not an economic reality for many. <br />I see that this blog post has great intentions and is overall great advice. It's just a little condescending to put "job" in quotations and forget that many students don't have much choice in the matter. It's not like watching Family Guy. This attitude implies that working students are somehow less dedicated than the student whose parents can pay for everything. That's a bit classist. I wouldn't point it out if it weren't for the many times I've heard students voice frustration and upset due to people at AAU having this attitude towards them about needing a job. Anyway, it's great that you're trying to help out students. It'd just be nice if folks were more empathic to those that possibly need help the most?

I was an RA for four years and lived off of about 500 dollars of savings to get through university (I'm Canadian so I wasn't legally allowed to work in America), but that chart is based off of a completely average student - Someone right in the middle neither privileged nor facing any sort of extreme hardship - and simply for the sake of the demonstration.<br /><br />Besides, regardless of whether you're making money to pay the rent or take a night on the town, wouldn't you say that still qualifies as enjoying a little cash flow? :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457660400364719989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167005103609983810.post-35786419462990567172013-12-10T13:19:38.439-08:002013-12-10T13:19:38.439-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08457660400364719989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6167005103609983810.post-19079899941343821582013-12-10T13:11:25.072-08:002013-12-10T13:11:25.072-08:00That pie chart is driving off a privileged assumpt...That pie chart is driving off a privileged assumption that students have much choice about if they get a day job while in school. Not all do it because they "enjoy a little cash flow." Many do it because that's how they're able to survive. Food and shelter cost money. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
