>>"Students should be warned that doing a paid internship can negatively impact your ability to finish up paying for school."

Students should be warned that crossing the highway blindfolded if unsafe.

Students should be warned that the stove could be hot if you leave it on.

At some point, people need to take personal responsibility for their action. They need to understand how their actions effect them positively or negatively and balance out those decisions. People need to understand that there is nobody that is going to hand hold them through life.

She's not complaining or asking to be handheld. She's warning her fellow students that working to make money will impact the ability to pay for school.

It's counter intuitive. It's not obvious at all. It's barely mentioned or talked about. It can cost (and it did cost her) a college degree.

I don't disagree with the sentiment of your remark, but it's completely out of place here. She's simply warning others not to do the same mistake, since it's an easy one to make.

When I clicked on the comment thread, I made a bet with myself that some jackass would've shown up within the first hour to bellow "It's your fault your academic advisor/student aid office lied to you."

The fact that one could get hit by a car crossing a highway blindfolded is obvious.

The fact that earning money in college could negatively impact your ability to pay for college is not obvious.

The warning is justified. Many people would not anticipate this.
