The other day one of the students working for me walked up to me and asked if I had heard about that timeshare place on the other side of town, where you could get $100 for free. She went on explaining how all you had to do was watch a short video and listen to a 30 minute presentation and they would hand you a hundred dollar bill. I asked her if she had done it? She said no; you have to be over 25. (I wish I wasn't old enough to do it!)
What she didn't realize is that she already has money in her hands. She is one of 450 student working off the upcoming year's room and board during the summer. Students taking advantage of this sweat equity work 12, 40-hour weeks to pay off room and board. Campus jobs range from working in landscaping to operating a 4-star restaurant/lodge to running a summer camp for underprivileged are kids.
