(i know bowling green university is going to be impressed by mine!) any connections you can make will ultimately be valuable, since you can&#8217;t predict who the people you know may already know. get to work.<br \/>\nchances are, if you can get one job at the university, it will be easier to get another.<br \/>\ncheers, askastudent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>hello! i love ur comments and ur advice is awesome \ud83d\ude42 i am just wondering what r the odds of getting a job on campus if i will be in first year in the fall?
