I think a big concern for young people is their inability to access part time work, either in high school or university.
I was employed, at least in some capacity, from the age of 14 to when I went to law school at 27. When applying for jobs at various points in my life, my work experience has been invaluable. For many students who obtain arts degrees of some form or another, whether they have some form of work experience is going to be a deciding factor in whether they can obtain work post-graduation.
