Did you know that in 2008, 72% of CEGEP students worked an average of 17 hours per week at a paid job during the school year. This percentage was 69% in 2004, 34% in 1988 and 17% in 1977. This growing phenomenon is also present at high school and university.

Employment can be an asset to school perseverance, except when too many hours are devoted to it per week.
