<p>I have to write that in a form I am required to complete, but I don’t know how many hours per week I should work… Any ideas?</p>
<p>Also, I have to write how many years of my schooling have been completed in English. English is not my native language. I have studied it as a second foreign language in school for 4 years. Should I write 4 years?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Well, if it’s $3000…is that per year or per semester?</p>
<p>Most people work 10-15 hours per week, though work-study participants can work up to 20 hours per week (and no more). You also cannot work over the $3000 limit, and most jobs pay either $7.25, $7.65, or $8.15. Most people’s semesters are 15 weeks. So the math is fairly easy from there. Multiply the pay rate ($7.25, $7.65, or $8.15) by the hours (10-20) by the weeks (15).</p>
<p>Just figure out what you can handle, and preferably what gets you closer to that $3000. Keep in mind that if you hit that $3000 (or $1500, if it’s $3000 per year) in September, you can’t work AT ALL for the rest of the year. </p>
<p>As for English…I’d assume they were asking how many years you’ve been taught, in English, not necessarily the class English? I’m not sure though. I’d call them up and ask.</p>
<p>Thank you, Leesamurmur.</p>
<p>I forgot to add this in my 1st post, but I also have to elaborate briefly on my academic interests and goals. I am mainly interested in social sciences. I plan to study hard, get elected to PBK (if possible…), go to grad school and earn a doctoral degree after that. Is this what I am supposed to write?</p>
<p>Sorry, i’m kinda lost what does PBK mean?</p>
<p>Anyway, I was awarded a $4000 work study, and plan to work around my class schedule.</p>
<p>PBK = Phi Beta Kappa, The National Honor Society of College (much more prestigious then National Honor Society in High School though lol )</p>
<p>Ah, that makes since now. :)</p>
<p>Yes, but make it sound more interesting ;P</p>
