Does switching jobs while on campus look bad?

My daughter did the same thing last year. She lasted about 3 weeks. I had a similar job when I was in college and worked there all four years (Not calling all 4 years) so I encouraged it. But, she hated it. I don’t expect it will ever go on her resume, but I was sure she gave 2 weeks notice and left in a good way. I think that’s important.

It’s hard, because there aren’t a lot of jobs that open up on campus once school has started. For my D, she didn’t get another job until the next school year. (Can’t say she really tried.) She has been banking money in the Summers.

This year, she applied in the Summer when Fall jobs opened on the school website. She interviewed over the phone and got the job before she even went back to school.
