Working through school
Kramer writes an article about students working in college. The college workload of studying and homework in reading is already time consuming. Then you add on extracurricular activities that are encouraged but can not be used as an excuse on why you didn't get your work done. Some students have part time jobs and even sports on top of that which is almost too much. I had so much less school work in high school then I have had in the time I have been in college. The workload gets crazy and you have to learn to balance your time but at some point there is basically not enough time. School is super expensive and most college kids work in the summer just to get by. We make minimum wage or a little more then minimum wage and I know with working various jobs through high school such as McDonalds, Tim Hortons, a dishwasher and delivery boy at a restaurant and by running my own business of a DJ company. Even with saving my money, I would still not have the funds I believe I should have at the end of the day, but oh well. Kids work during the school year, that can effect your grades due to not having the time to study or even enjoy life while you're young. It is definitely part of growing up because you come to realize life won't be easy and can be tough, but you have to push through it and make the best of it.

Working through school is sadly a part of life. Summer jobs are expected out of you as a college kid or else your having everything handed to you which is bad. Nobody likes the kid that gets everything without working for it. Working through school is tough and not everyone can do it because its time consuming. Some nights you have to work and you have a big test the next day, well after work your gonna be up all night to study and then have to take the test in the morning. Growing up you just get busier and busier and work and school at the same time prepares you for that. Summer jobs keep you busy but most people do not have to worry about school work in that time so it isn't that bad in the summer.
