Leaves turn, football season starts, and college students return to Sanpete County. With a student population expected to exceed 2500 this semester, the influx does not go unnoticed. Stores sell school supplies in the parking lot, landlords raise the rent, and local businesses start looking for emEPHRAIM-- - ployees. Since many businesses depend on the student labor market for staffing, students looking for jobs have a wide variety of choices. But finding a job can be surprisingly difficult, especially for a student trying to fit- a work schedule around a demanding and - sometimes erratic class schedule, not to mention leaving time for homework. What to do? There are several options that may surprise one. One of the largest student employers is Snow College itself, with just over 100 positions open to students each semester. Job diversity is a big factor, here; students can choose anything from teachers assistant to janitor to librarian, though some positions require more experience than others. According to Brach Schlueter, director of enrollment and scholarships, Snow received $40,000 in state funds to begin what is called a Work to Learn Program. that stated Schlueter this program provides about 10 hours a week, minimum wage jobs for students to do pertaining to their major. These are all on campus jobs that are in addition to traditional work study jobs. Another large employer in the Ephraim area is the call service industry.
