Exactly!
Here's 2 examples of the right and wrong way to do it.
1. A friend went to BU for a degree in broadcasting.
When she braduated the only job she could get was as a cashier in a supermarket. That was back in the 80's
2. My younger sister went to UMASS Amherst (and xfer'd to UMASS Boston where she went to get her nursing degree.
While she was going to college she worked at Brigham's & Women's hospital as a nursing assistant. She did not take summers off, and graduated in 3 years with her degree. Because she was working while going to school she graduated owing NOTHING. When she graduated the hospital offered her a nice salary and a job as a nurse in Oncology.
