I am in the search for a job. I am currently a freshman at college and need to make some money this summer and a little during the year, but it's hard to figure out what to do. I am so stressed out with school and have so much to do, but need some cash. I have 19 units at the moment and going to have a few classes online over summer. I have hockey starting up in fall for the school and it is time consuming. What do you do? Is there any easy jobs for us college students? I know almost all of us face this. We get stressed out with school and it makes everything tough. They say its the start of our lives and I truly think it is. I feel it happening. I see all these decisions that are life changing coming up and it at times is scary, but it is also exciting. You get to do this and you feel all grown up. You aren't a kid, but times you wish you still were. I know we all wish money could just be handed to us, but sadly it doesn't work that way. We actually have to work now in our life. So does any one want to comment on their situation with this and also help me out with good places to apply too. I need a job. I have thinks I need to pay for. College just costs so much. Thanks all for the help, hopefully we can all help each other.

I am a college student, and it is sooooo hard to find work while in school. A lot of employers around here will not adjust to work around your school schedule, and you cannot work fast food, retail, or anything like that, because they say that you are overqualified. I am looking for work, but no luck. Good luck trying to find something while in school. Try looking into internships.
