April 7, 2017
College students always need money, right? In college, no one ever seems to have enough of it! But, work study doesn’t always cover extra money for college students. Here are a few job ideas outside of work study that college students are free to apply for at anytime.
On the Buena Vista University campus, there are several job opportunities available outside of work study. There are jobs in the CAE as tutors, but these have certain requirements depending on which area you want to tutor in. The bookstore also offers jobs, as well as Sodexo, which includes the coffee shop. Tele Team and Phonathon are also jobs which do not require work study. Jobs as residence assistants are available on campus and also academic assistants.
Jobs in the town of Storm Lake are also available in several places for applicants. The Sugar Bowl, a Hallmark themed gift shop, is currently accepting applications. Schedules may be organized to fit into working a morning or afternoon shift, and they would like to have their workers establish a longevity of working at the Sugar Bowl. They are extremely flexible with their work days. Their main focus is to make sure that the person fits into their work family.
