That wasn't where I was going though in this discussion, was trying to say the experience of working and living with five or six other students helps you to work as a team and coming to decisions, compromises, sharing life with other people to make life comfortable. Who has the top shelf in the fridge, etc., 
Anyway, get the impression you had lots of fun in your jobs ... would have loved to have been on the purchasing side, at least you get all the choccies and wine at Christmas ... |
I wasn't trying to trip you up, I wanted to know myself too.
I totally agree that a lot of students work, and that greatly benefits themselves in many ways, and also society. Though let's not forget not all students work, either part time in term, or in the vacations.
I stand by my posts that students, like many other minority groups, have a differing experience to the majority. Though their opinions are just as valid as anyone else's, even when I personaly think they're wrong.
All I ever said was that I believe their experiences and thoughts, will be different after leaving full time education. I know mine were.
Any bribes, opps, meant presents, I used to give to our eighty odd year old cleaner, to repay her for the free tins of mince she used to get from Southwark Council, and palm off on me, because she said it was a lower grade meat than dog food.
