While attending classes, I am allowed by the school to get up to 20 hours of work, at the school, for minimum wage. Depending on where I work, some of it may be credited towards my degree. There are two kinds of work, the first is an Aide which is essentially just a part-time job, the second is work-study where Financial Aid pays the department I work in up to a specified number of hours (no more than 10 in my case).
I already have an Aide position at the IT Help Desk for 16 hours a week (which may change depending on another Aides schedule that they are still waiting on) but needed to fill up that last 4 hours. So, I took my work-study paperwork to the Conservation department and asked if there were 4 hours available doing anything anywhere. Well, Horticulture is part of the Conservation department. So, I am going to get two hours on two days first thing in the morning in the greenhouse! That totally rocks for me! Seeing as it will be from 7am to 9am, I will likely be the only one there for at least part of the time. I can't wait to get started, even if I am only sweeping up the place, it will be awesome to work in a greenhouse!
