I would like my kids to appreciate hard work but I also would like them to recognize that studying is also hard work. I appreciate manual labor, I did a ton of it growing up. I would like my kids to know what it's like to put your back in to your living, but not at the expense of other pursuits. Working as a tutor would be a great job for someone in college. My wife taught Kaplan classes in the US during school. She was also a substitute teacher at a Juvenile Detention center. -She has some great stories about that one.Around 60-70% of college students have a bijbaan, 'side job', to give you some money to spend while studying.
I waited tables at night and on my off days from class I painted houses. I worked a lot during school which is one of the reasons I did so poorly imo.
