Making Ends Meet

Students may find employment as a form of independence. Moving away from your family and into the dorms is a common first step of personal independence. It isn’t until rent is due and the bills need to be paid that a student knows they can financially support themselves without their parents help. Like me, some students must pay for all utilities of life.  Tuition, rent, bills, and leisure activities can add up to be an expensive lifestyle. Student employment may be a choice for some, but is required for others.

Health and Exercise Science major, Ryan Hedrick prefers to work in order to spend his own money. “I want to be on my own two feet and not have to depend on others for my success,” says Ryan. It is a rewarding experience to spend your own hard earned money on things you enjoy in life. 

Any student looking for extra cash or desperately need a job, Colorado State University offers help through the StudentEmployment Services website and also through the student portal RamWeb.

  1. I find this to be very true. I currently have two jobs which helps me pay off most of my bills and allows me to do what I love to do which is shopping. Without my two jobs I don't know what I would be doing. I am the type of person that needs to be busy in order to get things done and having my two jobs pays off at the end.
