I believe that education should be done just without any other thing kept in focus...ya...ofcourse you can get thru but still it will be hard to concentrate.... So do you think that it is right to work while we are studying???

The set up is really ideal. However, juggling two things at the same time - work and school is something that is very common nowadays. Students are learning both academic and life survival as well. Been through this - working and studying at the same time. It was tough but I know I learned more than what my classmates did. This is due to the fact that I was able to learn how to survive life on top of what I learned in school. This added value to my personality and my growth. Learning extends outside the four walls of the classroom, I would always say. Learning what it is outside will give one a step ahead the pack. Good day!

I think that is a problem with America. Education is valued in our culture, but you need to find the time. The cost is ridiculous enough that people cannot afford to go to school, without working. Education is something that can benefit our country, cuts down on outsourcing jobs, and makes the country as a whole smarter and more educated. Giving the people more information and basis to make decisions that affect the whole country. I believe those that work and go to school, display and incredible amount of ambition, drive and sense of purpose, and I admire anyone who is doing what they must, so they can get into or complete school. I don't think it's right to expect someone to learn and work at the same time. You cannot focus your efforts and basically, you're just living to get by. I don't think that's any way to live. If you want good, devoted students, make it so people are not punished for being a student.... If only I lived in Denmark..
