Will a term-time job hit my daughter's university studies?

Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it's up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in Saturday's paper.

This week's question

My daughter is off to university to study physics, but I'm concerned that she's planning to do paid weekend (and possibly) evening work while there. We are not well off, so we can't help out much, but I would prefer her to focus on her studies. What is the best paid work to combine with university studies? Or should she restrict earning money to her vacations?
