<p>No one from my school wants to apply to Princeton!!! gahhhh! You have no clue how frustrating it is!</p>
<p>Why won't they apply?</p>
<p>Because it's too hard :(</p>
<p>(somehow they don't think Yale is too hard though. everyone applies to Yale. Hmmmph :mad: )</p>
<p>If you don't like your assigned job, poke around. There are lots of good and little-known jobs on campus. Of course, it does take time to learn about them, and not all of them will you be able to get as a freshman. If you need more time, but have to work, try for a desk position of some form... at Frist Welcome Desk, and some of the smaller libraries, you'll have free time to do some reading. Chapel Watch, for that matter, practically pays you to sit in the Chapel and do your homework. Of course, jobs that afford that kind of freedom tend not to pay the best.</p>
<p>Nassau Street and the U-Store are not campus jobs. They coordinate closely, but I'm fairly certain that the U-Store is not actually officially affiliated with Princeton.</p>
<p>I'm not work-study, but I've done a couple of things... Chapel Choir gets paid, and I've been a teaching assistant for an introductory course. Also, if you are looking for pocket money, the psychology department always needs people for surveys and brain scans...</p>

<p>While we're on the subject, has anyone <em>ever</em> won the random prize that is supposed to be given out for filling out psych surveys?</p>
<p>I haven't.</p>
<p>what psych surveys :confused:</p>
<p>People from the psych department (and sometimes woody woo/politics, and maybe a few others I'm forgetting) send emails or go around with survey forms to be filled out, and there's always a $50 prize draw for which you're entered if you complete the survey. There must have been at least 15 surveys last year, but I've never heard of anyone winning the prize.</p>
<p>I wouldn't mind being paid to have psych students monitor my brain activity or something...</p>
<p>Those are generally one-time things though.</p>
<p>But if you do it every time it's offered...
$$$</p>
<p>there's still the tiny matter of no one ever having seen the aforementioned $$$ :p</p>
<p>does anyone know what the job options are for those not on work study (which is the same as students who have placed out all their work study requirement with scholarship money, right?)</p>
<p>I actually did win a $50 award for filling out a psych survey earlier this year. It was the first survey I had filled out, and the money was direct-deposited to my bank account through the university's payroll system within a few days. It was sweet!</p>
