The University of Phoenix recently conducted online interviews with 3,000 students from across the country to determine how Generation Y university students expect to learn and what parts of the experience they think will make them the most successful. The study shows how many young adults are working to balance competing goals of school and work.
* Almost 70 percent of Gen Y students work while attending college, an average of 23 hours per week. About 30 percent work more than 30 hours per week.
* Only 13 percent say that work takes a lot of time from school.
Generation Y also views education as a passport to greater earning potential.
* 92 percent said that getting a good job or having a career was extremely or very important goal for their education.

It would be very interesting if the following questions could be asked..
“How many would start their own business if it cost little time and money? ”
” What % admire successful entrepreneurs and why ? ”
” Do they personally know some one who is actively working on a business idea at college ?”
“How many would like to help other students increase their earning power ? ”
