What is Work-Study? Work-Study is employment through a college’s financial aid office. Employment will typically be on campus, helping with research, working in a business office, or almost anywhere that the need arises, and you will be paid by the school. Off-campus employment opportunities exist, also. Pros and Cons. Pros:
● Don't pay taxes.
● Don’t have to drive as far sense it’s on campus.
Cons:
● Typically minimum wage.
● You have to be offered by the school, you can’t just apply.
