Amber Ramsey, Guest Writer
Balancing coursework with real-world financial needs is an art every college student eventually learns. Whether it’s paying for late-night takeout, buying books, or making rent, income matters, but time is scarce. That’s why the best student jobs aren’t just about money, they’re about rhythm, flexibility, and survivability through midterms and exam season. You need something that fits in the cracks of your schedule, not something that crushes it. Below are seven distinct job types, each offering unique advantages, from quick cash to career experience, that make sense for a college student’s unpredictable life.
What’s Actually Happening to Work Study Next Year
Over the course of the past week rumors have been swirling about concerns over changes to work study for the upcoming year.

“They’re only giving work study to freshmen next year”
“People who have never had work study will have priority next year”
“Regis is going to take our federal funds”
I am sure many students have heard one variation of the rumor or another, however there is no need to panic.
