Take it from a banker and someone that had to work thru college. You want to put as much in savings now as you can. "Delayed Gratification" that is the word of the day. just think if you put say for example 3000.00 now that is 12.00 a day for 250 days. If you are going year around then that's even less. College is stressfull enough without worrying about a job and gas money. LOL

Best of luck study hard and remember "Delayed Gratification". Work now and study so when your my age you can play and have fun.
