Do you have a job?
 

We all like a little spending money in college.... Are you working part time or hitting up your parents?

Personally, I do a little of both. I make some money tutoring Chemistry and Math on campus and some working at Jimmy John's. Other than that, I make the monthly run home for some money from the parents.

When I was in college I worked at least part time, and was right around 40 hours a week by my senior year. I started out working in the school library and ended up as a preschool teacher at a daycare by the time I graduated.

I tried a job for a little while, but my parents made me quit because they did not want me to be distracted.

I WISH!!!!! i work.. have worked two jobs before while taking 15 credits..
:( work work work

I worked 2 parttime jobs through college, one at the college bookstore, and the other rotated-- one semester I was a student assistant, another I was a nanny, a resident assistant at off-campus apartments and another I worked in retail. Eventually, I wised up, quit and started waitressing. More money in less time.

I wish my parents had given thought to me being "distracted" by work. I had to twist their arms just to sign the financial aid paperwork so I could get my loans on time to pay for classes.

How was that for you? I finished that book "The Nanny Diaries" recently and the main character found that her parttime nanny job quickly took over her life. Is it really so bad?

I don't work a "Real job" in school, but I get paid as a photographer for the paper and I'm applying for an editor position. I'm also a notetaker in some of my classes.

At home I work at the YMCA as a Lifeguard and at the Three Rivers Rowing Association as a rowing coach. I also am a freelance photographer.

I love that book!

No, my experience was nothing like that! I was more like an after-school babysitter for three little boys. I took them to Little League, doctor's appointments, etc., and played with them after-school, helped with homework, etc. Their parents were super-nice people!

Just wondered if these were for the same "children."

I worked for the university TV station and two radio stations when I was in college.

Later, I worked for the University TV station during the week and the NBC affilliate 75 miles away on weekends.

i work at a bank and play middle limit poker at harrahs to pay bills and save for stuff, its good stuff

First College, mopped, and waxed dorms at College.

Wow, that big buffer was sure fun to run!!!!!!:D

Some of my guys worked and ran a Pizza Hut, Had to pay for music and My Cigarettes!:( Oh Well!

Most of the Guys now all work part time jobs!

I've had a couple of jobs while in school. All through high school and my first summer home I worked at an Aftercare/Summer Day camp at my old grade school. Crap went down, the people I had worked for "went away" and I quit! My sophomore year I worked in the mall personalizing Christmas ornaments in Oct-Dec. Then I worked at an "Early Learning Center" i.e. day care from Januaray to August. Now, I get to work with the big kids, cause I'm at a lawyers' office answering phones and whatnot... pays better and smells a little better than the lil babies!(But I do miss all my little kids... they are a LOT sweeter than the crazy people I deal with on the phone everyday!)

I worked throughout college. As an adult, it just feels weird living off my parents..

LOL, now I feel like I'm posting my college resume

no, I was a student assistant for the foreign lang dept. I got to coordinate marketing for the study abroad programs, which was fun! I was an afterschool nanny for 3 boys, age 2-10.

In college I worked at a child care center beginning my freshman year. By the time I graduated I was the assistant director and the financial manager. It was a great job. Since I was the "assistant boss" I could basically take off anytime I wanted to which was a huge perk since sorority time requirements can be tough during times Greek Week and Homecoming.
