For example, if a student is taking a lot of course credits in order to graduate early, he or she may\u00a0not have time to work more than five hours a week. Let\u2019s look at the types of jobs college students might have.\r\n<h3><strong>Work-Study Programs<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nWork study is part-time work that's awarded to students as part of a financial aid package. Students can often find work study related to their areas of interest. For example, someone studying biology might have a work-study job taking\u00a0inventory of lab supplies on campus. Because work-study jobs are a part of financial aid packages, students who simply want to earn extra\u00a0money may not qualify.\r\n<h3><strong>Campus Jobs<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<h3><strong><img class=\"alignright wp-image-2137\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/courses-images\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/605\/2016\/09\/22210605\/2736444781_2c2f91c03a_z.jpg\" alt=\"Campus tour guide speaking\" width=\"350\" height=\"263\" \/><\/strong><\/h3>\r\nNot all campus jobs are work-study related. Students may\u00a0be able to ask their institution\u2019s human resource director or individual campus departments to see if other work is available. For example, the office of the registrar might\u00a0need help filing papers. It may also be possible to\u00a0apply to become a resident adviser (RA) and get\u00a0free room and board in exchange for living on campus and serving as a role model for students. Some students may prefer to seek work off-campus, instead, since they may be able to work more hours and avoid competing with other students for on-campus jobs.\r\n<h3><strong>Off-Campus Jobs<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nStudents can certainly\u00a0explore job opportunities in their communities. Such work might\u00a0be related to a student's field of interest\u2014for example, a student interested in journalism might get a job writing ads for a local publication.\u00a0Or it might be worth seeking a job\u00a0that's unrelated to school simply because it offers the most hours and pay. On the other hand, some may prefer on-campus jobs because their work supervisors are more respectful of their academic commitments and the need for flexible hours.\r\n<h3><strong>Internships<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nSimilar to work-study opportunities, internships are usually related to a student\u2019s area of interest. For example, a marketing student may\u00a0get an internship working\u00a0with a marketing director and contributing\u00a0to the company\u2019s social media campaigns. While internships can provide invaluable work experience, it can be hard to find ones that are paid.\r\n<h3><strong>Summer Jobs<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nStudents who are concerned about\u00a0not having enough time to work during college may\u00a0wait and find part-time or full-time work during\u00a0summer break. Such\u00a0opportunities can be found through one's\u00a0guidance counselor, financial aid department, community members, or even online. One disadvantage of summer jobs is that they don't last very long\u2014the work is typically seasonal.\r\n<h2>Contribute!<\/h2><div style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Did you have an idea for improving this content?
