Working off campus


Lots of students work off campus, continuing jobs they’ve had before or finding new ones. If you work at a chain restaurant or store, you might even be able to transfer to a location near your college. Working off campus may pay more than on-campus jobs, but it also may involve a less flexible schedule, commuting time, and longer hours. As with working on campus, you’ll benefit from meeting new people, learning to get along and work together, and experimenting with various types of work. Just be sure any off-campus jobs you take leave you with the time and energy you need for your most important job—getting an education.
