@eldonjacob177. Why does work study take the life out of you?? Both my kids “wanted” to work during school. Both schools work study will adjust their hours around your schedule. Internships etc liked the idea both kids worked. Employers will also.
They both made friends at their jobs and it forced both of them to manage their time more wisely. Trust me, having too much time is not good anyway. We are talking 10-15 hours week not 40 hour weeks. Plus the extra cash is great. They have never asked me for money and when I offer some they both say they have their work money. There is some pride in that for them ???
