Some advatages of working while in school are having spending money and gaining work experience. Some of the disadvantages would be not having enough time for activities outside of classes.

A pro is obviously the income you will make while attending school, which may be enough to pay tuition without having to take on loans. A con is that you will have almost no free time; your daily schedule will be very demanding. You will have no time for extracurricular activities, which often add substantially to your classroom education.
