According to a 1 reported in "USA Today", about two-thirds of college students work to earn money 2 they are in school. About a quarter of them earn between $200 and $400 a month; more than a quarter of them earn even more. Some do it only (or 3 ) for the money —— they need or want 4 money, and working is the 5 to get it. Othersdo it for 6 other reasons —— they want to fill up their time, 7 experience, or just get out into the world. Of course, before your child takes a job, it is 8 for you two to discuss certain things about working: how many hours a week you think is appropriate, how far you will let your child travel to a job, and what type of work you think is acceptable (or unacceptable). You don't want your child 9 and working long hours at the expense of the time needed for school work or other 10 .
