<p>I'm thinking of getting a part-time job while studying in Ann Arbor. Hopefully, it's a position that has a flexible schedule and doesn't require too much time commitment (10 hours or less per week). For those that are employed, what are your recommendations? Maybe I could be one of those students giving campus tours during Campus Days? What are the requirements for that?</p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
<p>Get a front desk job at one of the dorms or gyms...you basically do homework the entire time.</p>
<p>hahaha..</p>
<p>the students that give campus tours don't get paid. they do it for the love of the school.</p>
<p>anyway, it'll be hard for you to get a decent desk job if you don't have work-study. if you do, you'll be fine.</p>
<p>Lots of university jobs are reserved for people doing work-study (basically you get a job where you can study at the same time, like scanning people into the gym facilities, working front desks, etc.)</p>
<p>If you're sufficiently qualified in a subject, many departments have some sort of help center where you could work as a tutor. I know that the math/physics/chemistry departments have them, and the athletic academic center has tutors for most of the common subject areas. These tutoring positions pretty uniformly pay $10 an hour, which is a lot better than most other jobs on campus. Scheduling tends to be pretty flexible, especially at a place like the mathlab. With so many people and being open so many hours (usually 11-4 M-F, 7-10 Su-Th), it's pretty easy to find shifts that fit in your schedule, and people to fill in when you have conflicts.</p>
<p>the_aspirant, campus day people do get paid. 6 of them are in my fraternity. </p>
<p>I worked in a research lab about 20-25 hours a week while taking 18 credits. It's rough.</p>
<p>I would recommend you try dining services. I work at WQ dining now. Scheduling is really really flexible. You work whenever and however much you want. The job is kind of boring though and it can make you fat.</p>
