<p>as part of my financial aid, i have to work-study. so far, two jobs have been offered to me:: a tutor position with a high school surrounding the campus and a library position on the campus. i don't know what to choose because theres pros and cons all over the place. </p>
<p>if i was to do the tutoring thing, that would be a bit more rewarding and i could have some human contact. i could also get things to fill future resumes with. this job pays more than the library one but theres quite a bit of stuff that comes along with it too. i have to keep the program leader updated on student progress and such. but still, could it be worth it? </p>
<p>now thats a lot different than the library position ive been offered in a remote corner of the campus. all i would do there is essentially sit and wait for someone to ask where to find or check out a book. i could potentially use this time as a study hall because nobody goes to this remote library in the first place. it sounds great but i fear it might be too lonely and it doesn't look that great for future resumes. </p>
<p>please help me. im torn. which one should i say yes to?</p>
<p>Are you sure about the library job description? I work at the campus library and there are many things to do: shelving, maintaining the collection, various research things, cataloging, and of course, helping patrons. In short, very rarely am I unoccupied. However, I enjoy working at the library.</p>
<p>Have you spoken with either of your potential employers/supervisors? If so, do you like them? That good greatly affect your experience.</p>
<p>As a person who tutored throughout high school, tutoring is a very rewarding job. And you get to brush up on your math skills (tutored math) while seeing many ways to solve the same problem. You also feel like you really make a difference instead of job going there for a paycheck.</p>
<p>though, i'm not exactly sure. can't you just work a ceertain amount of time/earn a certain amount of money on work study. i think my sister said her's was $1000, and after that any hours she worked, she wouldnt get paid for unless her institution paid her. i'm just an entering freshman, and i havent started work study yet... but you may want to consider that before chosing the higher paid job... i dunno</p>
<p>if its as you stated, getting paid and being able to study is a rarity</p>
<p>if you want to make a difference, make it next time if you can handle the Work/Study thing w/the library position that should allow you plenty of studying time while getting paid simply, is great</p>
<p>as averagemathgeek said it before, you should check what you would really do as a librarian. i dont think you only sits and waits for students to come by.</p>
