I did internships during the summer at Public Accounting Firms though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-work-during-college/page/2#post-661103 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:12:12 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 661103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worked about 40 hours a week through college. I did all sorts of random things. I observed and coded monkey behaviors (yup!), worked in a rheumatology lab culturing cells and running PCR, I worked on an adolescent psych treatment unit, I was a dog walker, and I was an English tutor and a TA. All of my jobs were awesome in one way or another. I had forgotten the monkey job until just this minute. It was kind of smelly, but I loved observing Macaque behaviors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-work-during-college/page/2#post-661087 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:07:54 +0000 doxielove 661087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I worked at a sub shop since I was 16. When I turned 18 I picked up as many hours as I could (no more child labor laws!!) Needless to say, I was pretty boring in college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-work-during-college/page/2#post-661051 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 10:59:38 +0000 CottonCandy 661051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worked almost full time in college, and maybe this isn't going to be the popular answer, but I really hope to be able (financially) to have my kids not work during their schooling. I mean, a small job for some spending money would be okay I guess, but I really wish I would have been able to concentrate on just school rather than holding down an almost full time job and school. I had no choice as I had bills to pay, but I *hope* I can help my kids our more than my parents were able to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-work-during-college/page/2#post-661017 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 10:46:35 +0000 bunnylove08 661017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yup worked at the computer labs and in the advising center :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-work-during-college/page/2#post-661009 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 10:44:43 +0000 BabyBruins 661009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I worked at the campus fitness center and got a small stipend for being an editor for the daily newspaper.

I never worked full time but I had several different serving jobs and also worked for fundraising for the college. It funded all my extra spending money and a trip to Costa Rica when I graduated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-work-during-college#post-660503 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 07:50:26 +0000 Bookish 660503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!

It was a campus job in the dining hall. I picked it because it was one of the highest paid jobs on campus even if it could be physically hard sometimes. At one point, I took on another job for a few extra hours, but eventually I quit when the boss there was barely giving me any hours (4 hours per week? Whatever!). I needed to work because there was no way that my mother would have been able to help financially with non-necessities (books, spending money, etc). I essentially became financially independent in college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-work-during-college#post-660478 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 07:35:08 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 660478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I did the call center alumni donations thing too during part of my last year of college. </p> <p>Before that I only worked part time at a hoagie shop my sophomore year for walk around money. The restaurant was sandwiched between several frat houses and was super popular. I was the cashier, but I can make a mean bacon cheesesteak!</p> <p>I worked around the clock during the summer to have pocket money except freshman summer when I took 3 summer classes at a local college. Those darn 9 credits allowed me to only have to take 3 classes my last semester I was in college. I was technically Part Time and had time to kill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-work-during-college#post-660474 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 07:31:13 +0000 kjpugs 660474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OHHHHHHHHHH so many jobs. The deal was after freshman year I had to get a job. I worked in the graduate admissions office as the receptionist, I also did a night job where we called students to inform them about upcoming info sessions in their area and answer any questions, and then as I got more into my profession I worked at a PR agency. I also babysat throughout. Very busy! And I graduated in 3 1/2 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-work-during-college#post-660472 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 07:28:55 +0000 blackbird 660472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On and off--my first semester, yes, then my workload got too heavy. I made enough in the summers, thankfully! I was able to pick up a small part time job my senior year, when things slowed down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-work-during-college#post-660381 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 05:55:10 +0000 SAHM0811 660381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a server at a local Hawaiian burger joint!
