What did you (the grownups) do for work study in college?

Not work study - I worked for BofA for 3 years, about 20 hrs./wk. in a great OLD building in Westwood. Opened new accounts, ran the proof machine to cancel checks, filed cancelled checks, stuffed the statement envelopes with cancelled checks, operated the phone switchboard (ala Lily Tomlin’s Earnestine). The manager eventually promoted me to assistant student loan officer processing FISL loans (Stafford today). I don’t remember the max amount, but I do recall more students requesting loans for trade schools than for the university.
