"New research shows that working through college isn't going to make a dent in student debt and could ruin your GPA."
Working to pay for college doesn't work. Despite the fact that 40 percent of undergraduates work at least 30 hours per week while in college, tuition is too high for those hours to make much of a difference, a new report shows. "
"Students have always had side gigs. In the decades leading up to 2008, as many as 80 percent of people who were enrolled in U.S. colleges were also active in the labor market, the report said. What has changed is the cost of tuition, which soared 46 percent between 2001 and 2012, to as much as $65,000 at some schools, which makes it unlikely that any job could cover the cost of school."

This is the ugly truth that now confronts most working poor and many middle class families these days.
It just costs too much to send kids to 4 years of college .
I actually like the suggestion that some politicians have made that public colleges, like HS's, should be tuition free, as they are in so many other countries.
