How so? My brother is at uni here in England. He works 30 hours a week, does not lead an extravagant lifestyle, gets by quite well.

As an employer, I would much rather employ someone who payed their own way, worked to put themselves through university and so on. University should not just be about a bit of paper saying you have a degree, during study, I would like to see a bit of self sacrifice. Learn what it is like not to have everything handed to you on a plate.

If you do not have time to work whilst at university because you are studying, I would seriously question if university is the best place for you to be, rather than say, screwing the lids on toothpaste tubes.
