Student Employment is a way to earn money while you are getting an education at college. Many colleges have work-study programs that allow students to work up to twenty hours a week for the college. Some of these jobs are even in the student's major field of study. If you got a job in your major field of study it would be very useful because you get to make money to pay for all of your needs and at the same time have a hands on opportunity to work in your field.
