On-Campus and Off-Campus Jobs Available
Even if you have received a loan for your tuition or were lucky enough to get a scholarship, extra money is always needed to help pay for books, supplies and day-to-day living expenses at school.
Often schools post part-time jobs that are available right on the campus. Two typical and popular positions to check out are front desk attendant and library assistant. The desk attendant sits at the entrance of a dormitory and keeps watch over the students coming in and out. They are expected to check student IDs, buzz people in and just make sure everything is the way it is suppose to be according to the particular regulations. It is the perfect job to get when you would like to do some studying while on the job. The library assistant is the job to get if you want some quiet time. Most libraries have, or should have, a quiet atmosphere. The tasks involve sorting books, pulling information and stocking the shelves. It requires a person who is self-motivated and task-oriented. An added plus is that, most often, the library jobs pay better than the majority of jobs available on-campus.
There are also many work-study programs available to consider for getting jobs while you are studying. These particular part-time jobs are assigned by your college or university. Check the student loan department for more information. They are for both undergraduate and graduate students and can be on-campus or off-campus. The off-campus jobs may require relevance to your major or public interest. Wages are determined by the difficulty and required skills involved. They all start at the minimum wage rate. The number of hours you may work is determined by your need, how early you apply and total amount of work-study funding at your school.
To be eligible for work-study, you must complete the free application for federal student aid annually. Eligible Federal Work Study students may earn their Federal Work Study (FWS) award in on-campus departments and offices, or off-campus at selected nonprofit organizations and public agencies. On-campus work-study positions usually include duties such as clerical, childcare, tutoring, library positions, security, lifeguards and laboratory assistants. The off-campus work-study positions are referred to as community service opportunities simply because these positions are designed to provide direct public service to the community. These positions usually go to the students whose majors are related to the work, have previously worked in the program, or have work experience in education, social work, parks and recreation, or community health. There are solutions to getting more money for your college needs.
