>> Having students work is not a bad thing.
My first day of law school. Big intro lecture from the Dean. "Quit your part-time jobs now. The amount of money you can earn waiting tables is a pittance compared to your tuition and scholarships." He had a good point. A student's job is to study and learn. People fail out of law school all the time. Every minute doing anything else other that studying increases the risk of that failure.

- sandworm101 5y agoOne can argue plusses and minuses, but my time at law school was very productive and, despite my winding down my practice for something new, benefits me to this day. Law school is what you make of it.
- xboxnolifes 5y agoThis is basically how I see most cases. I did work a part-time job for a few semesters, but it was really easy and I never felt I was sacrificing my education. I dropped it after holding it for a few of my early semesters to free up time to maintain a happy study/free-time balance.
