I was working full time and a Finance Specialist for AGD when I had my kids. I wasn't a collegian. The Finance Specialist position took about 8 hours a month, which is slightly less than the time I spent on sorority things while in college.
But seriously, working full time is far more time consuming than college ever was. I leave for work at 7 am daily and return home at 5:30 pm. I was never in school that many hours, even if you counted homework time.
I did qualify that I think a woman's family would need to be VERY supportive of her continuing to live a "typical" college student life in spite of accidentally having a child at a young age. At one of the chapters I supervise now they had a young woman join who had a two year old. She lived with her parents who helped her with babysitting and she brought the child to Exec Council meetings because she was the VP Finance for the chapter. She was active and seemed to be very involved with her child as well. At some campuses, we need to be more open minded because the students just aren't traditional students.
