A work-study job can be an enjoyable and profitable experience even if it is not completely related to your course of study. Just by being employed, you will have a clearer understanding of the dynamics of the working world and gain valuable experience that you can add to your resume. Some students may be reluctant to take a job that involves clerical work, and many positions available are clerical in nature. However, exposure to the daily operations of an office will give you an added edge when applying for full-time work. In addition, by meeting people who are working in the field, you will have many opportunities to seek advice about career planning.

Not necessarily, but if you choose to delay starting work, you should be aware that jobs usually fill up quickly and supervisors may expect students to start working immediately.

Federal regulations prohibit any advances on work-study.
