Pleasure 2,956 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm in first year and I have a job. I don't think you should rush it though, it all depends on you and how it works with your schedule and needs. I just want to have money and be able to buy my own things rn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie 1,449 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yes, but I worked for my parents so I don't really know if you should count that. But I transferred after two years and now I work at one of the on-campus dining centers. It's not a bad job at all - it's easy and it pays for my groceries.

ohitsabel 905 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yup. I'm in my third year of college and I still have that same part time job as I did in my freshman year. Just make sure to keep your priorities straight. Part time jobs are exactly what they are - part time. I'll only be doing it for a couple more semesters until I get my Bachelors in Chemistry and later my Pharm.D. Try to find out that has flexible scheduling. If you know you have exams in a certain week, request a couple extra days off or opt to work weekends only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deobizone 7,779 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm in my first year and I have a job. It depends on your situation, really. How you set up your schedule, and the job: where it is, when you will have time, etc. Like I have classes on Tues/Thurs b/c thats how I set up my schedule, so it's really annoying when I get scheduled on those days b/c I'd be in school for hours and then have to work for hours, but luckily that only happens (working on those days) when it's last minute or there's no other times. And if youre on campus, you might wanna take that into consideration. I live 4 miles away from my school, but work in 2 miles away from home, thankfully in the same direction, it can be a hassle sometimes though so that's something to consider, to make it easy as possible. It's not bad though, I like it. Since I never worked throughout high school it's pretty nice to actually have money to spend and stop leeching off others.

KinkySanta 1,073 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I love my job. I'm gonna have a job all through out college because I don't want to live the broke college kid life. It might make me more tired, but it's totally worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cchad 11 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I got a job instantly post graduation but this was back in 2006 with a decent economy and i got pretty lucky i would say. its all about networking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchad 11 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 ahh, i just realized this is during college. i worked at marble slab for 2 years and was mostly interning my last 2 years. it was actually awful, but none of that matters. the only relevant work you will be doing is post graduation.

Kyuliss 84 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Nope,I only had Sundays off, and I wanted to use that day to study/rest. I don't spend much money and I live with my parents, so it didn't really matter much to me whether I had income since the little that I needed I could get from my parents. Depends on your circumstances, especially your expenses and contact hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.u 5,109 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'd love to but no I didn't. The only day off I got was sunday. My schedule didn't and still doesn't allow me to have any kind of job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
