Employment

Income from working part-time can provide students with a source of money while in school. Students can earn $1000 or more working part-time during the academic year. Working can also provide long-term benefits that help careers.

Working is an excellent way to meet people. Supervisors and coworkers can provide contacts for jobs after graduation. Future employers credit attributes such as organizational skills, responsibility, ambition, and maturity to supervised part-time work experience.

While the benefits are many, working has disadvantages as well. While in school, working too many hours can cause students to overextend. Too much time spent away from studies can impact grades. Education is still the primary goal. Most students with a part-time job will work up to 15 hours per week.

Employment
Student jobs are available both on and off-campus. Job opportunities are posted in Career Services located in the Student Development Center, VAN 119.
