Introduction
Higher education is critical in a developed economy. In most developed countries, education is considered a basic right. Hence the costs of higher education is highly subsidized by governments. This results in a significantly reduced number of students that need to work to pay for their education. The United states is one of the few counties, developed or otherwise, where the almost all the burden of paying for higher education is put on the student. This has certain interesting consequences. One of them is the relatively large proportion of college students working. The increase in tuition in the past decade have cause this to increase even further. In “For Many College Students, A Job (or Two) to Pay Tuition”, an article in the New York Times, DAVID KOEPPEL found that every year, more students were looking for an campus jobs. New York University employed 2000 more students in 2003 compared with previous years. The percentage of college students working has been growing since the 1906s (Stern and Nakata, 1). How this affects students and whether or not students should work therefore have become increasingly important questions.

Should undergraduate students enrolled in college full time work?
Whether or not undergraduate students enrolled in college full time, should work, depends on a variety of factors. Whether a student should work depends mainly on the student’s ability to work without getting too stressed out and adversely affecting grades and other activities.

There are also several factors that can influence whether a student should work which are not dependent on a student’s ability to work, for instance, wages, social and economic background, etc.
