    My favorite job while I was in college was working as a "projectionist" for the film and television department. All I did was set up whatever movie each class was watching in our screening room and did my homework while the class watched! -Paola
    What was your favorite job as a student?

    don't let your employer tell you work is more important than your grades or final exams or graudation day

    As someone who graduates college next week. Working while completing my bachelors was one of the best choices I made. It built up my resume which allowed me to secure a great job right out of school.

    I did basically everything wrong in my college career, and I’m happy to use myself as cautionary example! My Number One piece of advice to anyone, especially young people, starting out on a college career would be to take full advantage of all the opportunities that present themselves. Probably never again will there be so many doors open to you. Use the campus-real or virtual-to explore organizations, travel opportunities, free events, open lectures, mentoring, etc. etc. etc. Expand your horizons! The classroom is only one part of college.

    Something I found very useful was talking to someone at the career center. It's hard as a college student to know how much bargaining power you have and what your labor is worth. I ended up negotiating a $2 per hour higher rate for an internship which is something I would not have been confident enough to do on my own. There are many groups looking to take advantage of college students with low or even unpaid offers.

    I love this and it is definitely difficult. I work full time and in an office setting. With that, it is HARD for me to get classes that goes around my work schedule. I would quit and find a different job, however, I have been with this company for 7 years, they have given me a promotion AND raises. This company gives me the pay that i need to pay for my own tuition without taking out a loan (personal or student). It is definitely something to think about when attempting to go to school and working because of the workload, expectations in both, and schedule.

    • @americanhero8606
      @americanhero8606 Год назад +4

      Honestly IMO you shouldn't stay with a single employer for more than 9 months if you're still in school or in your early 20s. That's a lot of opportunity to take on diverse new experiences and build a bigger professional network for future references being ignored. The grass isn't ALWAYS greener but 9/10 times it is, and if not you can usually see about going back to the old employer so long as you left on good terms.
      Working for one employer in college is like taking one class over and over and taking no other classes. It leaves a young person with a very narrow and superficial pool of experiences and background to draw from. It defeats the educational purpose. And that's what working at a young age is meant to be seen as, an educational experience.

  • @chuck1343

    Don't forget to look out for Resident Assistant opportunities as well. Though you may only get a few hundred dollars in a stipend per semester (I think I got like $900) , you usually get your housing and food covered which in my case was half of the cost of attendance. And since it's an on campus job the work requirements are reasonable. It gives you a pretty good return on your time and effort

    THANK YOU for this series and the entire Study Hall project! Been enjoying every single video y'all release weekly. Funnily though, How to College videos are on average shorter than Fast Guides-just a little observation. But both series are fantastic, and I can see all the dedication and expertise y'all put into it. Crash Course's strengths + ASU's commitment to inclusive, accessible education for all is perfect. Looking to see if a Khan Academy or Schoolhouse or Sal Khan collaboration comes along in Study Hall - Sal's Khan World School is in partnership with ASU Prep!

    My wife and I worked our way through college. She supported me while I got my RN then I worked while she got hers.
    She continued on and earned her PhD.
    No loans. But it takes time. It has to be a part of your lifestyle or you'll get burned out.

    I do want to say, on college work, people from different income levels tend to stratify into different groups. That's likely why some find it normal and why some don't.

    Quick question on our essay (when we are applying to college) is okay we mention the kind grades we got in high school and things you enjoy like hobbies?

    • @crashcourse
      @crashcourse  Год назад +1

      Part of your application will include your transcript so it's not necessary to mention your grades unless you want to give context for a low grade (thought there is usually an additional information where you can do this). I would definitely encourage talking about your hobbies, especially if there are any that relate to your intended major in any way!

      I also couldn't do full time until I was in grad school and was teaching full time... and even then I was burning myself out. It's always a challenge because, while I wanted to work less, I also needed the money.
