I’m sorry but the vast majority of work study jobs out there do not relate to anyone’s course of study. Schools employ students in dining halls, rec centers, etc using federal work study funds. Thank God they do or there would be a lot less work study jobs (as it is students are not guaranteed these jobs). I would think if all of these schools were misusing these funds we’d be hearing about it. The guideline specifically says “whenever possible”. If jobs are created that pay students $13.50 an hour and it involves scrubbing toilets or cleaning off dishes I’m all for it.
