What are some realistic jobs to look for as a full-time student?
I'm going to school in Boston for the upcoming school year, and even though I didn't qualify for a work study, I'm going to need to work during the school year to be able to make it through college without excessive amounts of debt. I don't want to sacrifice all of my time outside of classes to a job and I would appreciate some flexibility in scheduling, but in the end it will come down to whatever is available. What kind of jobs did you work in college? Which ones would you recommend and are there any you would say to avoid? #school #college #working #fulltimestudent #jobs

How does working long hours affect your relationships, hobbies, and interests?
I'd like to direct this question mainly to those in the medical field because that is what I'm looking to go into, but any insights are greatly appreciated! Even as a high school student I've had to put some of hobbies and interests on the back burner because of all of the school work and activities going on, but there has always been that "I'll have more time once ____ is over." Do you find yourself having to push these kinds of things off? How do you balance all of the aspects of your life while still having time to do the necessary household chores, etc? How does being on call play into that? #working #time #medicine #balance #timemanagement #relationships #hobbies
Whether it is best for a student to focus on completing their education during their summers away from school or to focus on working and providing income?
It has been my dream to pursue a graduate education in the liberal arts for the purpose of teaching at the university level, in order to contribute in enlightening and sharpening the minds of future generations. To accomplish this goal, I am currently a graduate student seeking a doctoral degree, though without a source of income for my livelihood. I am wondering whether it is recommended that students, in such a situation, focus on completing their education quicker, i.e. taking classes in the summer over extra spring and fall semesters, or whether it is best to work in the summers? The former entails more debt, but quicker completion and entry into the workforce, the latter entails less debt but simultaneously an extended amount of time in graduate school. In my particular case, I could either take classes for three summers and avoid three extra semesters, or work in the summer to provide at least a modicum of income for the rest of the year when studying. But the latter would necessitate three or four extra semesters in graduate school. The potential job-market for summer work for myself, is likely low-level entry work. #working #graduate-school #summer-courses

What can you do with you Psychology BA degree?
I know i'm not the only one feeling this way, but as I'm graduating soon (next year), I'm a bit nervous and I wonder what are the options out there for psychology major students? I don't want to jump into grad school right away since I haven't figured out which field I really want to invest my time into. Sadly, I haven't figured out my passion yet.......... (Which means I'm really flexible for any kind of work / volunteer experiences) Any suggestion? Thank you! #psychology #technology #graduate-school #career-choice #undergraduate #volunteering #working #life-coaching #career #career-path
Is it appropriate to add work experience in a place you weren't officially employed at in your resume?
My parents own a grocery store, and when I was a young child, I would help by doing simple tasks such as putting away shopping baskets, aiding cashiers with bagging groceries, and bringing shopping carts inside the store. I also worked at the deli section when it first opened and took orders from customers to send to the cooks in the back room (I was still not officially employed and was 13 years old). I am wondering if it is appropriate or not relevant to one's resume. Thank you. #career #job #resume #work #employment #working

How to stay awake?
Junior year is fast approaching, and I've been having trouble with sleep. Not getting to sleep, no, but waking up. During the school year in particular, if I am tired I will drop dead asleep. No exceptions. This often leaves work unfinished and/or causes lateness the following morning. How do I combat this? Coffee doesn't work and I'm not interested in drugs. #studying-tips #mental-health #working #studying #sleeping

Financial Help for school
I am currently trying to go back to school and have applied for FAFSA, I barely got any money and my parents have no saved money for me to go to school. I have a job that pays minimum wage but want to better myself, I will most likely have to take out a ton of loans. I have applied for scholarships but haven't found many for what I studying. What is the best option to do in my case? Get a second job and wait until I have more money to pay out of pocket, or just take out all the loans? Thanks! #financial-aid #scholarship #working
How do you juggle being a full-time student and working part-time?

Is it hard to have a boss?
Hi my name is Diego and I'm a freshman. I want to know if it's hard to have a boss. Do you have to do whatever they say, and is it hard to do things you don't agree with? I don't really like doing everything my teachers always say all the time, but I do it anyway because I want good grades. And I never really see anyone liking their boss in TV or Movies. #jobs #working #boss
