I am from Eastern Kentucky. My dad was the first in the family to go to college and attended Berea. I don't know what jobs he held all through school but he did a lot of wood working at one point and brought those skills home.
Several students in my high school also attended Alice Lloyd over the years. One of my closest acquaintances did custodial work and always spoke highly of it and seemed to enjoy being on campus and working there.
I think both of these schools (and I am sure the others) perform a much needed service and I would love to see more schools offer something like this. I was a work-study student in college but of course $8 / hr didn't cover much. It would have been nice to have some sort of merit / effort based compensation above the cash pay to help offset tuition costs.
