Instead of enjoying extracurricular activities, many students are serving the public. Working at a job while attending school does pose problems for students. Attending university is expensive. Many students all across Canada do not have enough money to live and go to school. They are left with one of two options.
Some people choose to borrow money to cover the costs.
For those who refuse the burden of owing such a sum, this poses a problem. Other students are working part-time to supplement loans that do not suffice. Some students are missing over half of their classes because of work. Unfortunately, well-paying jobs are hard to come by. And while students may earn more in jobs where it is customary to tip, working for 12 hours in the service industry is like completing a 12-hour obstacle course.
