I am with you one hundred percent! I worked at Eaton's, a pool hall and a bar while a full time undergrad. The bills had to be paid for school and to support my smoking and drinking, which helped alleviate "Stress" (Although I actually think it was mostly lifestyle)I looked at the stupidity of not completing assignments as being right up there with not bothering to show up for my shifts at work. Both would have negative consequences. If people can't hack the work at university, they should try working instead.
