Abstract	The majority of students enrolled in college today work at least part-time. Although the benefits of working have been noted for years, institutions of higher education tend to operate under the assumption that students should prioritize their academic careers over their employment. First we review literature examining why students work, the benefits and drawbacks of working, and the type of work that yields the greatest benefit to students. Next we discuss policy recommendations and practice considerations for higher education institutions, including: (1) removing or adjusting practices that dis-incentivize working students; (2) developing policies that utilize students' work experience; (3) providing on-campus part-time employment opportunities; and (4) establishing support systems that assist students in finding employment that works for them. We conclude by summarizing the state of higher education today, noting the inconsistencies between students' realities and institutional expectations, and recommending ways in which institutions may more fully support their working students.
