And sometimes it works the opposite way. My older kid applied for a job that he really was well qualified for at his college. Unfortunately, the funding for it was ONLY work study money, and he was not a WS eligible kid. Not one single other person even applied…and they really wanted to hire him…and needed someone qualified in the position. They tried to get the funds from elsewhere…but could not. And this was a large university.
He got a great off campus job instead…but that other job went unfilled that whole year.
