Chapter 2: Earning and Learning: Are Students Working Too Much?

In this article the author talks about how the 1990's generation is over scheduled. On top of being a full time high school or college student, they are also working a lot of hours. This leads them to not have much free time on their hands to to other things and not much time to get their school work done. The article states that the students need to check their planner to see if they can fit in an activity. Sound familiar? Yeah it sounds like me on a daily basis. If the 90's teenagers were over scheduled than what are we? Double over scheduled? I currently don't have a job but there is a reason for that. Being a full time student and having a job is very difficult and time consuming especially freshman year. Next year I think I will try to find an on campus job and work a few hours a week but nothing crazy. Even still I need to keep a planner on my phone to remind when my classes and clubs are. It us way to much to remember without some help. However I see the appeal in having a job, students want some extra spending money or maybe the money is to help pay for the costs of college or a  car. Either way I feel like this generation is way more over scheduled than the 1990's students and students aren't going to get less busy anytime soon.
