As a student in school right now I disagree with your third point. I have to pay for my schooling and don't have the money to live without a job so I don't have the choice. Working various internships has given me more experience at solving problems without the hand holding that school provides, and in turn makes homework generally easier.
Before I was lucky enough to land my first internship I worked for eBay as a customer service representative. While they had tuition reimbursement the job was so stressful that I felt it was a major detriment to my education. Jobs like this also don't care about your schooling or life outside of work.
Finally getting to program on the job and solve real world problems has been a change of pace. Your co-workers and management actually give you space, a chance to breathe, and respect that you have full time school outside of work. Working during school hasn't been half bad.
So, respectfully I disagree with your third point. I agree on the other points though.
