My d gave tours and also has been a paid notetaker for a couple years. I believe her school has about 10% hearing impaired students and these students have the choice to register for deaf classes or mainstreamed classes. They are provided sign language interpreters and notetakers - fellow hearing classmates who take notes, allowing the hearing impaired students to watch and listen to the teachers, without having to look down and take notes. My d gets paid to attend her class(es) and take notes - something she should be doing anyway… She also gets paid to work at tailgate parties, which she would be attending anyway.

My son hasn’t gotten an official job yet because his school gives freshmen scholarships to cover their work study freshman yr, so they can acclimate to the college environment. BUT he managed to get paid to be part of a study that follows freshman weight gain. He gets weighed several times a yr and gets paid for his trouble ($50). I believe he’s looking for a tutoring job or research position for next yr.
