It's budget crunch time in our family. Our daughter has just started college, and we definitely need to find a few more bucks to handle all the expenses. What are the pros and cons of students working part time while attending college? -- Budget Conscious
Answer: The biggest con of working part time is that it could limit the amount of time your daughter needs to study. And she certainly shouldn't take a job that would interfere with attending classes.
Besides helping financially, a part-time job can give your daughter valuable work experience and workplace skills. She may even pick up new skills. It can also help her learn to manage her time efficiently. In addition, she is building her job resume for future jobs.
