<p>This is my first time and probably last time I'm ever offered work study. Can anyone tell me what type of work study job they had?</p>
<p>I’m gonna work in a chemistry lab in the Fall, I guess cleaning the tubes and junk and making solutions.</p>
<p>I also had a chance to work at the library, putting books back on shelves, etc, etc.</p>
<p>I tutored elementary school kids.</p>
<p>I’m a peer consultant in the writing center.</p>
<p>I tutor elementary school kids through AmericaReads. </p>
<p>It’s cool cause it’s not a caf job and I get paid better lol.</p>
<p>I am a grader for the math department and I staff the library circulation desk.</p>
<p>Office duties. Just general copies/deliveries usually. Occasionally I’ll help professors with minor research.</p>
<p>Computer lab technician at a fine arts intermedia lab. Basically selling glossy paper and replacing inks… or most of the time, doing nothing. awesome.</p>
<p>I work in the athletic department. I hand out sports equiptment, occasionally help out during sports events. I essentially just do work and play on my laptop for 9.15/hr. It’s the best job I’ve ever had, and one of the best at my campus.</p>
<p>i’m a little confused about the program in general so i was just wondering if like when we get the paycheck, do we just basically hand it back over to the school? </p>
<p>meaning, do we ever see any of the money lol</p>
<p>^ Work-study is just like a regular job, with regular duties and regular paychecks, except that the federal government subsidizes your wage. (That makes you cheaper to hire than non-work-study students.)</p>
<p>When you get your tuition bill, the college pretends that your work-study award is not there and you will have to pay the money upfront. It’s up to you to earn your work-study income “back” over the course of the year.</p>
