If parents want their children to have the opportunities that those that can afford tuition easily or receive enough aid to not have to worry about, an option many take is working multiple jobs in order to help their children. On average, 31% of parents are working jobs solely to put their children through school, according to the Huffington Post. This creates a terrifying idea that parents are overworking themselves in order to give their children a good education, especially if those parents already work one job that makes them not qualify as working class to receive aid. For parents, this falsely makes it appear as if they are earning more money than they are, with the extra money from another job going straight to their children's tuition, moving them into a higher social class when they aren't meant to be there. This does, however, allow their children to attend private, elite universities, thus giving them an even better opportunity to move upward in social class later on in life, something that has become necessary. This gives parent's the hope that once their children are able to support themselves and then some, they will also help support their parents, making it worth it to work multiple jobs, if only temporarily.
