student (junior)

but my "true" full time job is DANCE MARATHON it's a student org here at IOWA and many other colleges across the country that works with the Childrens Miracle Network to raise money for children and their families suffering from cancer and life-threatening illnesses.

our event was held this weekend and we raised an AMAZING $607,000 which is the largest amount ever for a CMN affiliated dance marathon. We are the LARGEST CMN Dance Marathon in the country =)

I put my heart, sweat, tears, and time into this event and I love it.

SATX*APhi 02-10-2003 10:18 AM

I am a full-time student and also hold a full-time job doing something that's very easy but yet extremely hard to explain. I also have a part-time job as a Target team member. :) Lots of fun, yay! All in all, I work about 65 hours a week. How exciting, I know.

I'm a music therapy major at U of Alabama (ladybug, I think I know you...??) and I'm a part time therapy attendant (after I recover) at 3 nursing homes in this area. Question for some of you: How on earth can you manage working full time and being a full time student??? You guys/gals are so tough! :)

juniorgrrl 02-10-2003 03:10 PM

I'm a full time law student

I'm not allowed to have a job

So I have a full time "job" bitching about not having any money b/c I can't work and about how poorly run this school is (for example, its about 55 outside and the AIR CONDITIONER is on in the library.)

adduncan 02-10-2003 03:16 PM

Is it a stipulation of a scholarship? Or is it something that law schools discourage?

I'm a full time student, in my last semester, with both majors completed (so, you know what that means!). I work part-time telling people how to set up multimedia events.

Full time student

Part time work-study for some extra cash :)

Plus I volunteer at the Children's Home and tutor at the local grade school, that's the equalivent of a job :p

KSigkid 02-10-2003 10:12 PM

I'm an undergraduate student at Boston University.

I also work about 25 hours a week as a preschool and toddler teacher at a local daycare.

Working a bunch of hours while in school isn't the optimum arrangement, but it pays the bills.

UF_PikePC98 02-10-2003 10:38 PM

I took this semester off, it's my first. Right now I'm a Exercise Specialist and Massage Cordinator for Merryill Lynch. It's a pimp job. I hang out in our Gym all day, but it ends in may with the end of the spring term.


My other profession, I'm that guy who takes forever to get through college. I'm in no hurry.

kddani 02-11-2003 12:08 AM

Full time first year law school student.

Yep, the schools pretty much mandate that we can't work our first year. Well they can't make us NOT work, but let's just say when I wrote them an email to ask if it was absolutely not allowed or just discouraged, i got a VERY discouraging email.
I think the ABA (American Bar Association) dicates that we can't work more than 20 hours a week at any point in time during law school. But I don't think that's strictly enforced.

Instead of having a "real" job, i sell stuff on eBay. Helps give me a little extra cash. It's pretty easy, it doesn't take up large chunks of my time, it works around my schedule, and the post office is two blocks from my school. Pretty convenient!

winnieb 02-11-2003 12:23 AM

I am an accountant (that's my title)--- more specifically I do the cost accounting and inventory control for a manufacturing company.

My degrees are in finance-not accounting!!! I really enjoy the inventory control part of my job--costing is okay too-- but I would not want the typical job of an accountant. I have moments my boss thinks I am nutty--I have to think thru which way a debit or credit hits different accounts. I did not pay too close to those things in school-- the big picture is more my thing!!! :)

The ABA mandates you can't work more than 20 hours. LSU takes it one step further and forbids first year students from working. It takes a special hardship excuse to be able to hold a job. Although, there's a girl in my class who's on the TV news, and she got to keep her job, I guess because it was such a cool job. I dunno.

We're required to sign something saying that we don't have a job as part of our honor code, and being found in violation is pretty serious, I think. Of course, my school is pretty assy....

valkyrie 02-11-2003 12:35 AM

When I was in law school (DAMN, why did I go to law school ;)) they always just said that there is an ABA rule that you can't work during the first year. Because I'm a lazy ass and I don't like to work, I never questioned it and lived on my student loan money (which was more than enough b/c of cheap tuition). Really, I don't think it's a bad policy because your grades first year are REALLY important if you want to make law review.

juniorgrrl 02-11-2003 12:42 AM

Yeah, well that's already shot to hell for me - the candyasses are going to cling desperately to the top 10%, and I don't really want to give up my life like they do, so I've just got to get used to being in the top 33%. I'm at a crappy school in the South, so its not like I'd be getting a job anywhere but Louisiana, anyway. And down here (moreso than other places) its all about who your daddy is and what Mardi Gras Krewes you belong to, so screw it. I just hate the fact that I don't even have the option, should I want to work.

damasa 02-13-2003 12:54 PM

I am a Finance major in my Senior year (not graduating until December though). I have started studying for the LSAT because I am "hoping" to attend Law School in the fall of 2004.

I work at Guaranty Bank as a personal banker when I feel like it. lol

I have been volunteering at Children's Hospital of Milwaukee and it's a pretty stellar thing. It also goes along with philanthropy events that I have been working on with many other guys that are an "interest group," soon to be a colony of a well known national fraternity. (Phi Sigma Delta has for the most part become defunct - it's kind of a merger thing, hard to explain but you'll all learn about it in due time.)

Angelic 02-13-2003 01:22 PM

I am a project engineer for a natural gas company in Denver.

Specifically my region is North Eastern Wyoming where I manage projects to install gathering systems for the Powder River Coal Bed Methane play.

Jadey28 02-13-2003 01:36 PM

I am a chemist at an army weapons neutralization facility. To put that in English, I am working on a project to assist in the destruction of chemical warfare agents!!

xok85xo 02-13-2003 01:49 PM
