At my college most freshmen work for dining services, because most other employers fill their jobs in the preceding school year.

Library jobs at my school are among the most competitive jobs because we are basically paid to do our homework at the circulation desk. New hires are students who can work shifts at inconvenient or unpopular times, when everyone else is either in class or in bed.

There’s some work-study positions you may not think of initially. For example, you can use your work-study money to work for a non-profit organization off campus. Or you might be able to get a job that provides some real training - IT support, for example.
