<p>This is just untrue. A kid should always work after graduation, if possible. Certainly, there are circumstances, volunteering for experience, unpaid internships, etc, but earning too much much money is never a reason NOT to work. Seriously, at minimum wage for 10 weeks, a kid on average is only going to make approximately 2800 give or take, and thats before taxes. That is NOT going to derail a financial aid package, and if it does, that means the school was probably too expensive in the first place. In this economy, you want to get a job when you can. Also, for my kids, we will pay for everything, except, their spending money(pizza, laundry, snacks, etc), so they have to work to have spending money to take to school with them. It teaches them to budget that money during the school year.</p>
