working student
Earning while studying
A working student is someone pursuing education while simultaneously holding a job, typically to cover tuition or living expenses.
The term appears frequently in contexts where this dual status matters—financial aid applications, scheduling discussions, or explanations for limited availability: As a working student, I can only take evening classes.
In equestrian contexts, a working student is an apprentice who exchanges barn labor for riding lessons or training.
