Taking shifts after schoolwork Students find jobs on- and off-campus for extra income By Mary Catherine Connors | Contributing Writer

Ahlaiah Lewis is guaranteed to do two things every week: attend lectures and scoop ice cream. The sophomore spends her time away from school working off-campus at Coldstone Creamery as a shift leader. Lewis said she has been working at the restaurant since freshman year and applied with a friend through the establishment.

“I think that it just is going to prepare me and teach me how to work with customers, work with my other employees, manage my time and be more organized, just stuff like that,” Lewis said. Lewis said it is easy to work around her school schedule, sometimes working two-hour or longer shifts on the weekend. Though her work schedule may be different every day, she said the work is not too strenuous. However, Lewis’s first job was in high school, which made transitioning into her new job much easier. “I’ve had a job before, so that first job

was my trial and test area where I had to figure out how to balance everything, so now I’m used to it, and I know how to better manage my time so I haven’t really had any problems,” she said. Deciding whether to work during college has always been a personal decision for students. Whether they need a little extra financial footing or just want to gain real-world work experience, both on-and off-campus jobs are available for students of all majors and interests.
