Biden Student Loan Plan

Probably because, in order to attend school while working only part-time, they came from extremely rich and privileged backgrounds. If you get everything handed to you, you're not going to have a very good work ethic once you graduate. So, yes, if you have money, then working part-time through college may be helpful. If you are a first-generation college student whose parents just barely break even and who can't even give you money for food, your outcome is going to be drastically different.

It depends on your definition of rich.  I am going with anyone upper-middle class or higher (you can't put a dollar amount because where you live changes what's considered rich or UMC in your area).  So not super-wealthy millionaires.  This is how I grew up, and how my kids are growing up.  

All of your premises are just wrong.  "Rich" parents are VERY likely to make their kids work, and at crappy jobs too.  Go to your local fast-food restaurant, at least 50% of those kids will be from a good family and parents who have money.  Every "rich" kid I know has worked.  Those parents know the value of hard work, and making their kid pay for their cars or whatever is what they do.  You can look at celebrities as well - many of them make their kids work.  Many people with trusts don't give the money to their kids at 18 - they make them wait until they're 30 or 40, so they have to work and earn their own way for a long time before the big "payoff."

You're only looking from one angle and think that gives you insight to everyone.  I KNOW not everyone is lucky enough to have it as good as I do, or my kids do. But I don't assume things about poor people and automatically apply it to everyone.  You assume all kinds of things about "rich" people that simply aren't true.
