<p>Rather than hijacking the other current thread about on-campus employement, I decided to make a knew one. Please share everything you know about work-study. How many hours a week should one work, how many weeks a year, how much can one expect to earn, what are the best jobs and what are the ones one should try to avoid, ect...
Thanks !!</p>
<p>Don’t work too many hours so that it does not interfere with your studies. The money you can earn depends on hourly rate and of course the hours worked but it can’t exceed the total amount you were awarded for that semester or summer. It’s better if you get something related to your major, like a research assistant for a professor in your department.</p>
