TORONTO, Sept. 22, 2005/ - With tuition fares on the rise and the
provincial government re-examining its OSAP program, working.com conducted a
poll last week asking students if they planned to work part time while
studying. An overwhelming 92% of students responded "Yes, it's the only way to
make ends meet."
The poll also asked students how many hours they planned to work each
week and 80% said they planned to work more than 10 hours per week while in
school.
"Student debt loads are definitely increasing and as a result, most
students must continue to work a significant amount of hours throughout the
school year to make ends meet," said Kim Peters, General Manager, working.com
