Multiple jobs becoming a necessity: Full time job, full time student, and a hobby

Nelson alluding to her manager at Dunkin Donuts

Kimberly Nelson has had a job since child labor laws would allow it. Currently employed at Dunkin Donuts where she has worked for two years, she is there almost every day.

When she's not making coffee or packaging munchkins for customers, she is a freshman student at Montgomery County Community College.

Nelson said a large amount of her money goes towards paying for school necessities, but she also supports a hobby.

"I use my money to buy books, other supplies, and the rest of my tuition which adds up," said Nelson who receives some financial aid for her education, but it doesn't cover all of it, "But I am also interested in modeling which takes money too."

She calls balancing the three "a lot to handle," and advises others who have the option not to work, to think about putting it off until after school.

"If other people are able to afford not to work and go to school then they shouldn't work because school is like a job in itself," Nelson said, "And if they're not able to balance school and work they will make life way harder than what it has to be."
