Paper Topic

I think I'm going to write my paper on the low wages that undergraduate or High School students have to work under. I'm writing about this because working under the certain circumstances of low wage but hard working, it can take away from a fun high school career/life, while also making it hard to afford college tuition which can lead to loans and whatever other form of money. Low wage working teens would have to work so many hours a week to afford the things they want for that week while still saving up for college tuition and extra costs. Most of the jobs around my area pay a real low wage and since most of them are NOT paid under the table (no taxes deducted, and only cash), it can also take away from financial aid that you could potentially recieve towards your college tuition. So basically, jobs suck and even though you're making money, unless you're making a hell of a lot of money and working so many hours a week, really, it's actually taking away from your life and money in the long run. Obviously I'm a little unclear....which isn't so great considering this is due in about 2 hours and 15 minutes. I work well under pressure.
