Recently it was discovered that working 20 hours a week while going to school results in worse grades - after decades of believing the exact opposite. When they did better studies - comparing like students (same school, same background, and other characteristics), they discovered that all the prior studies were just showing the success of students who really should have been even more successful. So I prefer to think of most studies such as this as a datapoint, rather than any type of evidence.
