BY ROB McTEAR Surrounded by comical signs, and East Quad resident writes down an order at the Halfway Inn. Opportunities in residence halls provided a convenient way for students to earn money, photo by Abby Johnson In most dorms, there were two or three different job options: library work, dining hall work and front-desk work. The pay rates and hours differed from job to job along with the types of people that worked at each. There were also three main reasons that stu- dents took jobs in the dorms: convenience, to meet people and the benefit of choosing their own hours. Junior anthropology major Joellyn Palomaki liked the convenience of a job in the dorms the most. She said, I joined the dining hall service in Markley when I was a freshman in order to meet new people. Not only do I get to know the people I work with, but also on occasion you get to talk to some of the kids who come through the hall on a daily basis. Also, I liked the idea of being so close to my job. The people there are great and the management is really flexible. Convenience was one of the biggest motivators for working in the dorms. Melissa Rabineau liked meeting people the best about working in the dorm. Rabineau, a first-year English major, said, Working at the front desk is great! It ' s not the best pay but it ' s enough for me and the people there are really cool . Everyone stops at the front desk at one time or another. I think meeting people is a huge part of college and by working at the front desk I get to increase the number of people I would nor- mally meet from just living in the dorm and going to class. The last big reason for working in the dorms came from junior biochemistry major Mike Bass. I really like being able to choose the number of hours I work and when I work. This makes it easy for me to work around my class schedule. On those weeks when I know I am going to have a lot of work I can cut back on my hours giving me more time for homework. As these three pointed out, there were differ- ent reasons for getting a job in the dorm. Whether it was to meet people, to chose your own sched- ule, or just for the convenience of close proximity, the dorm jobs were pretty good to have. 260 Working in Residence Halls
