1) What campus jobs pay the best?
     - Obviously it depends on the school but two of the most paid jobs are writing tutors and tour guides. Writing tutors get paid up to $30 an hour and tour guides get paid up to $20 an hour. Other jobs such as IT Technician, administrative assistant, and athletic department assistant also pay very well.

2) How to make sure that your credits transfer if you start at a community college?
     - Some public colleges make arrangements with 4 year universities and these arrangements help students to automatically transfer their credits, so make sure to ask about that. Another thing that you have to be aware of is the courses that you take. Make sure that you know exactly what university you want to go to so you know which courses are transferable and which ones are not.

  1. 1) Good to know. If they getting paid that much then they ain't working that long. But how is the competition to get that job, and are there requirements?

    2) True, also talk to your councilor about these questions. Again they are the ones who can guide you the best, so you won't be stuck in a knot later in college.

  2. 1) That is definitely great information to know. However, it seems like you must be a very strong student academically to be torturing others. Also it seems as though the job offer to be a tour guide will be granted to students that have been attending that campus for quit a while.

    2) It would be good idea if students knew about their school's transfer connections to other universities. A great way to get informed about it would to talk to their counselor.

  3. (1) That is great information. Being a tutor is mostly for students who are extremely academically strong. I also agree that being a tour guide requires you to know the campus like the back of your hand, which is unlikely for an incoming freshman. This confirms my decision on sticking to working at In'n'Out throughout college.

  4. 1) That's good that jobs are available on campus. However, those set of jobs require a certain knowledge/ strength to do. For a writing tutor you have to excel in that subject in order to teach it. For the tour guide you have to be a people person. While talkative and have too have a fun vibe about you. These are cool jobs and now I know how much they pay.
