Generally, If you can be claimed as a dependent on someone elses tax return - like a parent, then the limit in 2010 is 5700 for earned income (W-2) and $950 for unearned income like interest and dividends. - However, there are a number of deductions and credits that students qualify for, especially if you had taxes withheld from pay and it might benefit you to file a return and get a tax refund.

Is it actually compulsory for every college and university student to get summer jobs?

No. If you have student loans, however, then it will pay you to find a permanent part-time job during college. You will then have less to pay off. That's how I got rid of all my student loans only a year after I had to start paying them back. Sure it sucks when you fall asleep in early morning chemistry class when you just got off the graveyard shift at 7am, but most of my friends who didn't do that are still paying off their student loans years after leaving college. It also looks really good in an interview if they see that you worked during college.
