What Difference Does It Make If School and Work Are Connected? Evidence on Cooperative Education in the United States.
Overview & Synopsis
A new longitudinal study reveals that the negative association between hours worked and grade point average is weaker for high schoolers in cooperative education (co-op) than in "outside" jobs. High school co-op leads to higher wages soon after graduation. However, students who curtail their education to pursue full-time employment could negatively affect future earnings.
