fr hey y'all!
i'm a first-gen student at ucla diving into political science. Navigating college solo, financial
aid's a maze, juggling fam expectations. Any tips for part-time gigs near campus?
.
Best on-campus jobs for poli sci students:
Library front desk (YRL or Powell) - max study time, minimum work
Department office assistant (check with Political Science department) - networking with professors, resume gold
Calling center for UCLA fundraising - awkward at first but pays well and flexible hours
BruinWalk tables for student groups - fun, social, short shifts
Off-campus that actually works:
The Coffee Bean in Westwood - late hours, good for night owls
Target - consistent scheduling, employee discount
Babysitting for Westwood families - check Nextdoor or UCLA parent Facebook groups
Also,
work-study is literally free money —if you qualify, USE IT. Employers get reimbursed so they're more likely to hire you.
