One of my favorite things about the past month were my jobs. I am a baker for the bakery down in Burge, and I also Usher at Hancher Theatre. I know some of my friends are scared to get a job, or they don’t want to because they have money, but the experience is really worth it. Not only are the wages really high compared to an off-campus job, the people that work there are amazing. Not only that, most jobs come with perks to them as well.<\/p>\n
I think working has made me more responsible (I haven’t been late yet (jinx)) and the pay helps so much. I won’t disclose how much, but for the hours I work, I enjoy it. Plus, everyone is usually new and on the same boat as you, so they’re friendly and willing to help. I met some cool people at Hancher, and even better people at the bakery. Along with that, working at a place like a bakery means you usually know who you’re working with, so you make friends easier. Along with that, I feel like I have an advantage because when it comes to submitting resumes, I have work experience while other people don’t.<\/p>\n
My suggestion: just try working. It’s worth it in more ways than one, such as: friends, money, responsibilities, the chance to work at Hancher (or other fancy buildings around campus), and flexible hours. It’s hard to reject. Do work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
