will getting a summer job affect my financial aid for next year ?

and i'm talking about the 10-11 school year
i'm a college student from a low income family that goes to a community college, but am planning on transferring out next fall (2010).
i've already got an award for the 09-10 year,
but i'm a little worried about when it's time to apply again next year.

i really want to get a summer job, but i've gotten mixed responses from students and school advisers on whether it'll affect my financial aid.
i don't pay anything now, since community college doesn't cost much,
but when it's time to go to a 4-year school where the cost is higher,
i'm afraid that i'll be awarded less and i'll have to pay more.

is it safe for me to get a job without putting myself and my family in debt in the long run ?
