<p>I am such a college-noob ><
For work study, what kind of jobs do people usually get--hopefully research related?</p>

<p>it will most likely not be research related...there will be very few if any professors that are willing to pay undergrads, let alone a freshman, to do research</p>
<p>For Work-Study at CC, my friend's a receptionist at the Political Science department. Usually the work you get is related to your major.</p>
<p>ok, that's cool</p>
<p>im assuming its not like weird stuff like the babysitting and bartending at barnard</p>

<p>True. If a professor is going to pay you, it's going to be grunt-work -- like cleaning dishes in the bio lab -- and not research. There's no reason a prof needs to use his research funding to pay ugrads when they'll work for free (i.e., for credit).</p>
