SS tor Working Spare time spent working for Wayne students. Experience pays off in the long run. Why get a job? Many Wayne students desire experience in their chosen career field. Some want the extra spending money, others work for the exper- ience, and some like to relieve boredom. Searching through the classified ads and filling out applications are two good ways to begin the job hunt. Programs such as COE (Corporate Office Educa- tion) and DE (Distributive Education) can place you in a job through the school. Wayne students work any- where from the fast food restaurants to the apparel stores at Southtown Mall to Scott ' s and Roger ' s grocery stores. But fast food restau- rants are invariably the best job prospects. Let ' s face it you don ' t have to have a college degree to work at a McDonald ' s or Rax ' s Pay can vary from below minimum wage to as high as $4 an hour. One complaint is that students can get paid a student ' s wage, which is much less than minimum wage, and the place of employment can write it off on their taxes. Most students don ' t complain because the need for money is greater than their need to be self- righteous. Most students admit that they try to save at least some of their earnings for such things as cars, future educa- tion plans, clothes, and of course, dating expenses. Dating expenses take in such economical matters as, gas for the folk ' s car, tickets to the movies, dinners, and maybe a small token of affection (if you ' re going steady) . Working students admit having to budget their time more carefully. I just know I have this much time to work, this much time to study, and of course I take into consideration sleeping and eating, said junior Beth Burk. W0RKINQ a6
