I'm curious to know how many of these students have a job.

Actually, 58% reported that they had a job. Still, I don't really understand the point you were trying to make here, since most of the ideological questions aren't related to economic matters.

Working a job, whether it's good or not, shapes your worldview differently than enduring college exams and lectures. That's all I was after.

Probably doesn't affect your social views though.

Depends on the job, I believe. I'd think working in a convenience store, in a sh**tty part of town, would affect me.

Huh? Which views would be affected by that, especially those highlighted by this survey?

Wouldn't having to be with the dregs of society affect you? I know it'd make me cynical as hell.
