CSULB students: Don't travel far for a job

Most of us need to be employed and doing some type of work for many different reasons, whether it be to support ourselves, our families, or just to get through school! It is difficult to find a job, especially these days, and that's why students at CSULB have an advantage because they are not only able to study on campus, but also to earn money and get involved in organizations that can help financially as well as socially.

A job is a job, but a job at your school can also be considered as getting involved. There are three things that I know are important to me, and those are my academics, making money to afford those academics and fun, and also meeting people at Long Beach and making connections. 

For those people who do not need to work because they already have jobs elsewhere or for what ever reason, there are other ways to get involved working on campus by participating in things such as volunteering. (This is where the "moral" aspect comes into play). People like helping others, it's a good feeling. Along with academic benefits, volunteers feel good when they get involved in good causes. 

So, whether it be a job or a volunteer position, both can be beneficial to students in one way or another. It is good for students to be aware of these opportunities at hand because you never know who could be interested. Throughout my blogs over the next couple of weeks, I will review, discuss, and research several opportunities while recording them on here.
