club, act as assistant to a playground instructor, manage a skating rink, be an
athletic counselor at a summer camp, work as a life guard during the summer
months, organize athletic activities in clubs or churches. Naturally, those
students on football or other teams cannot accept such work for they would
lose their amateur standings and be barred from college athletics. Teaching
bridge offers another means of earning money.

tutoring and teaChing—Tutoring pays from 50 cents to around $1.50 an hour, and
if the student can find a sufficient number of jobs, he can make a nice little
income. Many students enter college who need tutoring in special subjects in
order to fulfill the entrance requirements. The subjects in which most of them
need help are: mathematics, foreign languages, physics, and English.

m usiC—Students with a musical education can often help to pay their
expenses by giving music lessons to children and adults in the community.
They may also be able to find part-time work in the local school of music
teaching voice, the violin, the piano and other instruments. Teaching hours
can usually be arranged so that they do not interfere with the student’s regular
class work. If you are a good organist, you may be able to secure the job of
chapel organist. Organize a college orchestra and sell your services to a
summer resort, hotel, or other place of amusement. Many students find an
opportunity to play in a dance band over the week-ends. A few dollars can
also be made by singing in a church choir.
Assistant Instructors—Students can arrange with the dean to secure work in
the laboratories or the libraries. There is also an opportunity in work such as
the correction of class papers, checking student attendance, the supervision of
music practice, etc. While this work does not pay much, it is worth securing
because it is right on the campus thus making it possible to sandwich in the
work at odd moments.

t eaChing—Positions are often available in the local schools for advanced
students. These jobs usually pay well, but they are exacting and take more of
the student’s time than some of the other activities by which he can earn
money. Some of the colleges employ student instructors in various
departments and the positions pay fairly well.
