College is a time to study hard and go to class. But a new survey finds that US students spend more time, working paid jobs than studying. Many students finish school deep in debt.
Work vs. School
Researchers surveyed 1,507 students ages 18 to 34. All were presently admitted to college or graduate school. Results showed that 85 percent of students worked while in college. That was more than twice the time they spent in the library. It was almost two hours more than they spent in class. And it was 1.4 hours more than they spent studying at home.
Deep in Debt

Students Bear the Burden(重担)
