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:
  1. Library front desk (YRL or Powell) - max study time, minimum work
  2. Department office assistant (check with Political Science department) - networking with professors, resume gold
  3. Calling center for UCLA fundraising - awkward at first but pays well and flexible hours
  4. 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.
