OK...I will agree that students who worked while in college probably
were better prospects than those who didn't.  But I contend that this
is because they were working, not because of any enforced responsibility
for paying for their own education.  My tuition and a majority of my
living expenses were paid by "mommy and daddy" but I worked full time
in the summer and part time during classes.  In addition I was on the
management of the FM radio station on campus and had official positions
in other campus activities.  I found that the work and operational experience
gained outside of class was a much bigger asset the the (snicker) computer
education to be learned with in the Hopkins curriculum.
