How much can a student realistically make working 8-10 hours a week during the school year and full time during the summer? We're crunching numbers here before final acceptances and financial aid packages show up.
My S is a programmer planning to major in CS. He naturally gravitates toward tech jobs, and he has paid coding, IT, and tutoring experience under his belt. We were encouraged to hear that one of his friends is at Berkeley already has a CS summer job lined up that will cover most/all of his tuition for next year.
Of course, we realize that his job opportunities will depend on where he matriculates and what kind of summer job he lands. And we also realize that he'll probably use some of his earnings for spending money as well.
Would love feedback from veteran parents. Thanks in advance!
