Depending on your state and your financial aid package, you may or may not be able to score a job on campus. If you’re lucky enough to get one, you’ll have an awesome job within walking distance from the dorm that pays a decent wage. Here are the best campus jobs for students.
Library: There has never been a time in history when anyone has checked out a book from a college campus and the person at the desk wasn’t 50 pages into their reading assignment for biology. This is the perfect job for multitaskers: all you do is scan barcodes with lasers and catch up on your homework.
Tour Guide: Incoming freshmen will worship the ground you walk on, because you’ll know the ins and outs of your entire campus. This student job might involve a lot of deodorant if you’re working during the summer months, but other than that, what could you complain about?
Tutoring: By your junior or senior year in college, tutoring opportunities might be an opportunity for you if you’re a teacher’s assistant. You’ll likely be in the lab of whatever your major is, helping out scared freshmen with research papers, math problems or photosynthesis equations.
Mascot: There are some pretty competitive auditions for this job, but if you get it, you’ll snag free admission to every game. Plus, it’s almost completely anonymous, so you don’t even have to tell people where you disappear to every Saturday afternoon.
Info Desk: Much like the library, you’ll be able to sneak in extra study time with the added benefit of being the most helpful face on campus. Also, depending on your mood, you could entertain yourself by giving difficult directions to people who are rude to you.
