Are Early summer start programs worth it?

<p>I'm planning to attend UCIrvine next year and they're offering the "Freshmen Summer Start Program" where you can take 4-8 units for 700-1300 dollars. I was planning on getting a job this summer so does anyone have experience with such programs? I would like to know if its beneficial to start during the summer and if I can handle a job at the same time. I'm thinking only take 4 units though not 8. Thanks!</p>
