The Real Kid Nation: Three Part Time Jobs, No Degree



 

New! NYU has kindly arranged for a pdf of this excerpt, drawn from chapter 4, which explores some of the incredibly exploitative arrangements that universities and governments have made with employers to deliver cheap student labor.

It is suitable for student reading. Ask your undergraduates about their working lives. At most institutions, you will be shocked by what they endure.
