People do work full time while going to college?? Also 40 years ago, intuition was much lower. People went to college, work 40 hour jobs, bought a home, finished school with no college debt and started a career.
Their position may not pay as well due to numerous factors that accomadate student employment such as scheduling and entry requirements. They have less time to dedicate to overtime or a side hustle. They have extra expenses to pay like tuition and text books.
No matter how you cut it going to school increases your expenses and reduces the time availble to dedicate to making money. It is intended to be a trade off where you make more money and have more potential later on in your career but may have to put off earlier financial goals like home ownership.
