Work-study only jobs

Any opinion on the ethics and legality of work-study only jobs?

If a respectable job is work-study only, then the work-study recipients have an undue advantage in terms of how their resume will look after they get that job. We're already giving the less wealthy population financial aid. Do you agree that work-study only jobs give an undue advantage to the work-study population over the non-work study population?

ethics? If someone needs it, they are already at a disadvantage, yes?

That having been said, I know a guy that started in work study and made it to BB FO.....total animal, tore many new ones on his way in.
