The college application process can be incredibly stressful. From campus tours to letters of recommendation to essays, you have a lot to keep track of. With so much to do, it’s hard to know where or when to start!

As a TA, you will act as a licensed educator’s shadow by assisting them in their classes. You will be responsible for carrying out a variety of tasks such as creating and grading students’ assignments, instructing classes in place of the professor, and providing feedback to students, etc.

As a college student, money-spending opportunities are abundant, but funds can often be lacking. Every college student could use a couple of extra bucks between tuition, Uber, apartment deposits, and late-night Target trips.
