<p>I plan on doing this next year at NYU, but a lot of people have said its hard to get or not even worth attempting to get it. Why is this? Is it just laziness from students or is it really hard to actually get work study at the university?</p>
<p>Thanks. Any comments are appreciated.</p>
<p>I see a lot of postings on careernet for work study positions. I don’t think you will have a problem.</p>
<p>Agreed, there are a ton of positions. Some of them are pretty easy as well, such as stuffing envelopes.</p>
<p>Sorry,but my daughter has had trouble gettingwork study jobs as well as her roomates and friends. Most of them get jobs on their own outisde of NYU.</p>
<p>While there are a lot of work-study jobs available through NYU there are also a lot of students pursuing those jobs, especially at the beginning of the fall semester. Though my daughter found a much better paying job on her own, two of her friends have been employed continuously throughout their underclass years through the work-study program and have risen to leadership positions in the program they work for. The best thing about work-study jobs is that they are intended to accommodate a student’s scheduling needs and are generally much more flexible than a job with an outside employer. Most outside employers need you to stick to a schedule regardless of your special class/study/exam requirements, though there are exceptions if you become a valued employee. I actually don’t recommend getting a job during your first semester at NYU if you can avoid it. It’s too important to get off to a good start academically and socially. But if you absolutely need to work from day one and are having trouble finding a work-study job, it’s a big city and any reasonably intelligent, motivated person can find a part-time job if they really try.</p>
<p>I know for a fact I am doing work-study as a freshmen next year, however I just tried to log in using my NYU email, and it wouldn’t correspond? Should I contact NYU??</p>
<p>Yeah I mean I REALLY want and need the money… but I do want to have the first semester without work. So I can adjust to college life. Idk how my parents would feel about that though. Idk, I will have to talk it over with them.</p>
<p>As well, another perk of getting work study over an off-campus job is you’d have winter break off with no complaints, whereas an off-campus one might get mad about asking off a month, haha.</p>
<p>^Yeah no doubt, the whole point of a work-study job is to have a job that complements your studies while not overwhelming your college experience. I STILL can’t log into Wasserman; I want to check just how “easy” some of the jobs are.</p>
