COLLEGE STUDENTS ONLY, How much Do you Make an Hour??

[CuriousAndy]

I'm a sophmore @ Univ. of Mass. Lowell. And I make $10 an hour for campus workstudy.

Now, my rant is that I think I make WAY TOO LITTLE for a college student. Two of my friends.. one makes $15 an hour working at a bank (he goes to Boston Univ.) and another makes about $17 an hour as a secretary at some law firm.

$10 an hour, I wouldn't complain too much. But this is campus work-study to pay off my tuition. During summer, I really have NO job but to probably work at Gap or something for $7 an hour..

How much do you college kids make??? Do you have an internship? I need to get one, and how can I get one?!?!?

My degree (5 years) contains 6 mandatory co-op workterms of 4 months each. So I take classes for 4 months, and then work for 4 months, and this keeps alternating for 5 years.

Right now I'm on my 3rd co-op term and I make about $21/hour Canadian. Minimum wage in BC is $7.50. So, this definitely helps with my student loan situation

I work at a nightclub, after tipout it works out to about $25 an hour.

 

[novon]

add more ranges 15-20, 20-30, 30-40 etc.

Poll doesn't go high enough.

 

[hungrypete]

$10.50 and they're ripping me off and I'm getting sick of it. It's very tempting to move to Oklahoma City or St. Louis, the job market in Springfield SUCKS, while I qualify for LOTS of $15+ jobs in the cities.

 

[tommigsr]

i work for government contractor that makes defense supply parts...gettin paid 13/hour right now...expecting a raise sometime soon. maybe 15?

 

[yobarman]

[sale1980]

$7 an hour as a permanent part employee of my school in the computer labs

wow, how do all you other guys make so much money in college? or are the broke people just not speaking up?

 

[JetBlack69]

$0 per hour.

I'm a freshman and debating about if/when to get a job. I woudl probably work at the school tech store.

 

[Helpless]

Yea, your poll has a certain social bias, too...most people will respond higher than they actually make, so as a number of other people stated, I would take the range up to $100, per say...add a few more sub-groupings, etc, etc... ...and for more analysis like this from me, you'll have to pay me +$15/hr

 

[khtm]

<< Poll doesn't go high enough. >>



What world do you live in? Logically speaking, how much "higher" can the poll go than "$15 plus" ???

-khtm-

 

[StageLeft]

most people will respond higher than they actually make

That is not fair. I know that I personally would not lie. When I was in university I made $195/ hour as a teaching assistant. I got lucky though!

 

[prodigy]

Sorry, comp sci class has gotten to my head so I was thinking it should've read 15 plus plus.

 

[randomlinh]

where's the $6/hr option? that's all i make on my on campus job =/

but then again, i just sit here and usually study or browse the internet No, i'm not wasting money, i'm a phone tech for our internet connection problems... exciting job...


heh, minimum wage.. didn't see that...... that's like 5.75 here i think....

 

[Silverbullet28]

WTF? There is no such thing as making 15+ dollars an on hour on campus as a student worker, at least here anyway. :| Even the more demanding on campus jobs pay less than $7 an hour, I think my university just gets kicks and giggles out of screwing the students any way they can.

I stick with this minimum wage job because it gives me time to do homework while making some extra cash. Beats working fast food or something like that.

Edit: My grammer is shiat.

you need to add an option for those between 5.15 (min. wage nationally) and $7.
