“I
want to work with children.”
"I want to work in law."
"I want to work as a counselor."
"I want to work in marketing."
"I don't know what field I want to work in"!

The quotes at right all illustrate the importance of
working in college—beyond the obvious need for cash.
Working
in college lets you try on various jobs to see what you like
and what you’re good at. You’ll quickly discover
whether you prefer to work with people or behind the scenes;
whether you prefer a desk job or like to be out and about.
Working also helps you hone your time-management skills and
develop a work ethic. Research has shown that students who
work part time while in college have higher GPAs than students
who don’t work.
