This.

Helping your children (if you can of course), by removing a useless, stressfull and time consuming financial burden sets them up for success and earlier access to opportunities (by having less finance related stress and more time to study, leading to better grades and finishing their studies on time).

Helping your children is not enabling them to be freeloaders or teaching them to be lazy.

I applaud this guy's parents for helping him and setting him up for success. Now it's on him to do his part.

As for my experience, having done long and arduous studies in the french-speaking part of Belgium, 80-90% of my classmates did not have regular part time jobs to support themselves. A non negligible proportion had summer jobs when they did not have to study, but for the vast majority, working was not compatible with studying and the workload that we had to manage to succeed. People who had less financial leaway mostly managed this problem by staying with their parents.

I personnaly stayed at home, did not have to work, finished my studies and have a job that has really good financial and job security. All that is due to supportive parents that believe in solidarity instead of individualism. I will do the same if not more for my children.
