<p>^^^ My niece and several of her friends were not able to find work-study positions despite multiple attempts last fall semester. At her LAC each position requires a separate formal application, and many of them asked for specific previous experience that the new students didn’t have. In addition, that college appears to have offered each student his/her individual maximum for earnings, without first determining whether enough on campus jobs existed in the first place. This LAC is in a semi-rural location, and any off campus job would require that the student have a car, or at least a co-worker on the same schedule who has a car. The last time I spoke with my niece, she was planning to transfer because of the money.</p>
