hey there,<\/p>\n
you’re kind of right, but you’re also not. and if you wouldn’t mind serving as an example to the class for just a moment, this is why it’s always<\/em> a good idea to ask questions. you’ll almost definitely learn something new, even if you thought you already knew the answer (*cue you sinking down into your seat, embarrassed that the teacher is using you as an example, while everybody stares daggers at you*).<\/p>\n the university of toronto offers many different kinds of jobs to students, including part-time jobs, summer jobs and research positions<\/a>. these jobs vary widely in the number of hours per week that they require, and also in how much they pay.<\/p>\n however, there’s also a whole separate category of jobs offered by uoft called ‘work-study jobs.’ work-study jobs are a little more restrictive. they all pay the same amount (minimum wage), and you must be taking at least 2.0 FCEs in the Fall\/Winter session <\/a>in order to be eligible for a work-study job. as you can see, you’ve got options aplenty.<\/p>\n wow aska, that’s great, but where do i find all these wonderful jobs?<\/p>\n you can find job postings for work-study and other jobs (both on- and off-campus) on uoft’s career learning network (CLN). just log in using your UTORID<\/a>, click on ‘Jobs,’ and let the search begin!<\/p>\n if you decide to work off-campus, then it’s up to you to self-regulate. you can figure out how much work is enough, and how much will send you into a complete burnout<\/a>\u00a0when exam time hits.<\/p>\n cheers,<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n
