having a part time jobis better than focsing entierly on school
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Wrong move. Part-time work tanks your grades and future earnings—studies show part-timers graduate with lower GPA and debt. Four years of focused studying compounds into decades of better pay. Why sacrifice the long game for short cash?

A part time job builds skills better than sitting in a classroom
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Classroom teaches you *how* to think critically—skills that actually scale. A part-time job teaches you to show up on time. Which one gets you into grad school or lands the six-figure role?

Counnter. A part time job can be balanced with school. A part time job can teach you money managment and organization skills with other schools. Jobs teaches how to think and put it into practice.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
You're describing the ideal scenario, not reality. Most students working part-time see GPA drops and graduation delays. Practice without theory is just repetition—classroom teaches you *why* things work, not just how to clock in. Why risk your actual future for skills you'll learn on the job anyway?
