This comment particularly:

every friend who paid their own way now works in some sort of menial job

That's the type of hyperbole that is usually reserved for Utah fans posting on twitter.

I learned a trade at BYU. I highly recommend that. You can sign up for any of the shops at BYU physical facilities

I see the effects of oversaturation a lot. It's a real thing.

It depends on the circumstances and their career aspirations.

In general I agree with you. But some kids are going to just fine without

I didn't study 18 hours a day. But I hit 12-13 hours pretty often actually.

If you want to go into certain programs/careers that require amazing grades

ColonelMustard

People like to make general rules that make them feel better about their own decisions

I agree they should work while in school. Reality is it probably won't be enough

I "worked" shadowing an OBGYN for two summers. TAed Chem 352 twice.

I saw A LOT (especially at BYU) of situations like this. Pre Professional

What you're saying is completely different than what Missbelykova is saying

BYUMizzou

2/26/20 1:16pm

You’re an exceptional student and could handle it. Far more

kotacoug

2/26/20 1:22pm

that’s why you both are right

I worked 2 jobs in undergrad at BYU. Paid my own way. Then went to medical school

Slim

Obviously you didn't learn spelling very well. "PAID"

My father, who was a VP of HR for a major soft drink company, also refused to hire anyone with just school experience.

I guess it depend on what type of job you are hiring for.

I'm going to retract my eye roll and tell you what I really think of your post

BYUMizzou

Don't have a heart attack man. That much stress is not good for you.

MissBelyakova

I wouldn't care at all what my surgeon's GPA was in undergrad. You can't have a job during medical school or residency

Slim

2/26/20 3:47pm

Well, someone with a 2.8 likely isn't in med school anyway.

After reading multiple posts can we agree that both methods have merit?
