It pays well about more than minimum wage, and it is reliable too. It saves the student on gas and traveling back and forth. This is one option that a student will need to check up on early because there will be multiple students who will and could take that place. While working on campus the student will learn to be aid enabling him/her to guide other students in the right financial direction at college.

Another option would be to find a job outside of college to help the student out. Some student may get help from parents or family members who are able to help them pay for college. Saving the financial aid money that a student receives is a solution to many of the financial aid problems. Don’t spend all of it because it might be needed for the next semester of college.

Just do it!

Most college students are full time. When you have that on your shoulders it is hard to pay for college. You may not have the option to work because of the schedule you would have to work around. Not being very flexible in scheduling can affect a lot of factors in trying to obtain a job.

When I was in my school in Alaska I went to school full time and worked full time. It was tough, harsh objective. But I was successful in paying my monthly bills in which lowered my overall student payments when I graduated. I lived with my parents at the time, so I had it a lot easier than most students. So I used that opportunity to work and do school full time without the stress of other bills.

This essay is focused mainly to first time college students that still live at home. Take that opportunity of not having those extra bills and pay your college off as you go. Don't pass that up or you will regret having that much more on your shoulders in the end run. Good luck everyone and do you best!
