Hi my name is Naasirah Woodward and I am a college freshman at La Salle University in Philadelphia, PA.
What type of work-study jobs do you guys recommend for me to do next semester as a Sophomore?

Naasirah,
Greetings! I spent more than 20 years in University Career Services. Here's how to think about this: 1) what are your career goals (to the degree you have formed some ideas around this) and what opportunities would allow you to be at least on the periphery of those goals; 2) what work-study jobs available to you have the most substance to them - i.e. you are doing real work rather than making coffee.
In the Career Center, our students got hands-on experience reviewing resumes, providing basic career assistance, conducting mock interviews, creating marketing collateral, and promoting our services across campus. Students in some offices didn't do a thing, because the supervisor felt it "wasn't fair" to ask them to work :(.
