Spring break? Heck back in my day, most of us WORKED to pay for college and books. No time off from WORK for break. The only kids that went on those trips were the more well to do kids that didn't have to work.
Pretty much. I had to go home and work during that time.

Me, too.

If a kid here plays any kind of sport, its pretty much impossible for him/her to have a job. Even cheer leading. 2 basketball games a week, plus 2 practices, and one gymnastic class. No way they can hold a job. And most kids that play a sport play more than 1. At least 2, sometimes 3.
