Yes - but would you feel comfortable going to your doctor, or police,
or school, or bank, and finding out that your sensitive data was being
handled by a person working only 5 or 10 hours a week at close to min wage,
and who quite possibly didn't have any real training regarding the handling
of sensitive info?

It's not that they're not adults - it's that in most places, a work study job
simply doesn't have the same level of training and accountability that a FTE
has. (Yes, I know there's exceptions - the point is they *are* exceptions)
