<p>At the risk of sounding like a task master, I wanted to ask you guys how D2 might score a departmental job if not in her freshman year maybe her soph. year? I was thinking of something that would not only fill a few hours during the week but actually look good on the resume. </p>
<p>For example, I think Mom2 mentioned that her math major son is tutoring math for a part-time job?? Something like this I think would be great. D2 is going into psych and CBHP so maybe she could work as a lab assistant or something? I know some of the senior psych students do this type of work as part of their senior classes and project, but I was just wondering if there were possibilites for a fresh/soph student? </p>
<p>It does’t have to be a lot of hours but D2 is more productive if she stays busy.</p>
<p>Also, would there be any summer work opportunities on campus? Thanks so much. </p>

<p>I don’t know of about summer work, since my kids have never pursued that.</p>
<p>My kids work as tutors at the campus Center for Teaching & Learning (app is online).</p>
<p>As for paid lab assts… My kids often get emails from profs offering paid positions for research or whatever. And, I’ve known some kids to just ask their profs for opportunities. </p>
<p>BTW…if you D takes Honors Philosophy Deductive Logic and does well, she’ll likely be asked to be a TA for 2 semesters. The first semester the kids are given 400 level credit. The second semester the kids get paid.</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback Mom2. Is that Logic class under math or philosophy? Just wondering because D2 is going to minor in Math/Stats to go along with psych and that would be a good fit for her.</p>
<p>It’s under Philosophy…but it fulfills a Core and an honors req’t.</p>
<p>It’s also an awesome class to help kids THINK. My son said that it really helped his logic skills.</p>
<p>Take it from Torin Alter or Chase Wrenn. I don’t recommend ever taking a class by Stuart Rachels. His dad (James) was a biggie in the Philosophy world, but the son is a bit of a #$%^&*</p>
<p>Rachels may be fine for research/writing, but his people skills are atrocious. He is a top ranked chess player though.</p>
<p>Torin Alter is very nice and very smart.</p>
<p>Chase Wrenn is good, but a bit quirky…but that’s ok. Some profs are just quirky!</p>
