As a student at Nebraska, you will find a place filled with possibilities. One of these may be deciding whether or not to have a part-time job while going to school. Since you're only going to have a few classes each day, you'll have more free time than you did in high school.
Many students find they manage their time better when they have more to do.
Working 10-12 hours a week can help you find a good balance between class, studying and hanging out with your friends. Just keep your eyes and ears open. The Daily Nebraskan and Lincoln Journal Star list advertisements of employers seeking student employees. On your way to classes, check the bulletin boards in campus buildings for positions within a certain academic department. The SEIC Job Line and the Career Services web site have descriptions of current part-time jobs on and off campus.
