j PEU. ' i I ■■» ' ■ ' . r l i , f - l llj ' l..lt l T ' rS 3g They Worked Hard for the Money Each year students find jobs off campus. Stu- dents worked for a variety of reasons. Some worked to supplement their income and help pay for social activities. Students used the mon- ey to finance their education or worked to gam experience in the field of their major. Students who worked had mixed feelings about their employment. Some students felt that work took away from social activities, valuable study time was lost, and the pay was not worth the time and effort invested. Most students, however, felt that the job they held was benefi- cial and a worthwhile experience. Carol Harmon, a 21 year old senior, who is a sports medicine major from Geneva, NY said, I like working. It gives me an outlet from all the pressures at school. Students worked a variety of jobs. Many stu- dents worked for Maas Brothers, Publix, and Chili ' s. Students were salesmen, electricians, waiters, waitresses, and aerobic instructors. Many jobs were found relating to a students like working. It gives me an outlet from all the pressures of school. — Carol Harmon major field of study; citrus majors worked in or- ange groves, journalism majors became string- ers for The Ledger, and accounting majors worked in banks. For those without cars and with some extra time, there were also plenty of jobs on campus. Students could make money either to supple- ment the cost of education or for a little extra spending money at the current minimum wage of $3.35. Students were lucky in that they were usually able to find a job in the department of their ma- jor, and therefore become acquainted with many of their professors. If this was not the case, often times a job provided additional study time when there was little work to be done. From answering phones in a freshmen dorm, to working in the computer lab or being a stu- dent aid, there were usually plenty of opportuni- ties for all those interested. — Cathy A.
