SUMMARY:Make Great Money During College: hosted by Richard Montauk (ages 14–adult)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]A majority of students work while attending college in the U.S. Surprisingly\, working up to about 20 hours per week in college is correlated with higher grades\, higher graduation rates\, and shorter time to degree. However\, most students earn little more than minimum wage at dead-end jobs (including in “work-study” jobs). This presentation\, based on Richard Montauk’s forthcoming book\, examines some of the most lucrative ways to work during college. \nLearn about a dozen jobs that pay particularly well\, and explore: \n\nWhat the job pays\nWhat it takes to perform\nHow to get started\nHow to find the work\nHow to balance work and school\nHow to get ahead\n\nAlong the way\, find out about networking\, applications\, making oneself more employable\, freelancing\, and using one’s job(s) to further post-graduation careers. Substantial time will be available—during and at the end of the presentation—for questions. \n About Richard Montauk: Richard Montauk is the author of a series of best-selling guides\, all published by Prentice Hall\, including How to Get Into the Top Colleges and How to Get Into the Top MBA Programs. His most recent books include College Interviews: The Definitive Guide and Getting into Brown: Successful Applicants’ Essays\, Resumes\, and Interviews. He received a BA in literature from Brown University\, an MA in government from Harvard\, an MS in finance\, and a JD from Stanford Law School. Pursuant to a graduate fellowship\, he also studied at the London School of Economics and the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies (University of London). After graduating from Stanford\, Richard worked as a corporate lawyer for Latham & Watkins in Los Angeles\, then as a corporate strategy consultant for Bain & Co. in London\, before devoting himself full-time to admissions consulting. Since 1991\, he has consulted to candidates for the world’s top universities\, for both undergraduate and graduate programs. He can be reached through his website: www.richardmontauk.com.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1709040324351{border-left-width: 8px !important;padding-left: 8px !important;border-left-color: #9e0143 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;}”]Important information: \nThis event is for Library members\, and advance registration is required.
