So other than office jobs or research, there are other things that anyone can do (regardless of work-study) to earn extra cash. One is the Red & Black Callers – their job is to call up alumni, chat them up, and ask for money. They get a base wage plus commissions, and can end up making a LOT. The second thing like this (which Mad mentioned) is doing layout at the Argus. You get paid based on how many pages you do and their complexity, but it comes out to be a pretty good deal. Third thing is modeling for the art classes. It often requires being naked, but it’s the best-paying job on campus, so a lot of people really don’t mind.

In terms of off-campus work, in addition to working on Main Street (there are lots of little stores, coffee shops, and TONS of restaurants, so the opportunities are pretty good) there’s also Neon Deli, which is a funky little deli/convenience store across the street from the fitness center. They basically ONLY hire Wesleyan students, so that’s another employment opportunity. And you definitely do NOT need a car to work in town or at Neon.

I’m sure there are other things of which I’m not yet aware, but that’s what I came up with for now.
