<p>I'll be taking 12 units minimum and was wondering if it's advantageous for me to do work study.. any input/advice?</p>
<p>What kind of jobs are there for work study? Are jobs guaranteed? Do you guys find enough time for academics, social, and work?</p>
<p>Work study just means getting a job, and its just the federal gov’t pays a hunk of your salary. </p>
<p>Like I answered in another thread that you posted in, work study is any job - whether it be as a research assistant, serving food at panda express or quiznos, or an assistant at an office, there are no limits.</p>
<p>It should be easier for students with work-study to find jobs in comparison with students without work-study, since the employers are now able to spend less money on wages.</p>
<p>I currently have a work-study at the mba career center, I work around 7-8 hours a week, and I have enough time to balance everything out. But it depends for eveyrone.</p>
<p>Thanks again Junshik for your input. What would happen if I accepted the work study but couldn’t get a job? Is there a penalty or does the government just not pay you? If that’s the case, accepting work study would be favorable right?</p>
<p>so work-study is just so you won’t be broke during school? I mean, it doesn’t necessarily have to go towards your financial dues (though most of it will go towards that anyway haha) but that’s the kind of impression that I’ve been getting about work-study.</p>
<p>There is no penalty for accepting the work-study, and not being able to find a job.</p>
<p>And yes, accepting the work-study is favorable.</p>
<p>cajongrl, that’s what I’m thinking. It goes to whatever you want it to go to, since it is technically your “job”.</p>
<p>Sounds good, guess I’ll be accepting work study, thanks again Junshik!</p>
