Why Students Work at BYU-I

Convenience and a Great Social Group

"It is nice not to need a car; I can just walk from class to where I work.  It is also nice because everyone I work with is going to school. We can relate to each other and we have a great support system."

This Place is Dedicated to the Lord

"I believe the most important advantage to working on campus is working in an environment that has been dedicated to the Lord.  This dedication allows the Spirit of Ricks to fill the entire campus, inspiring both students and employees alike."

A Great Work Environment

"I love the atmosphere and the people with whom I work. They are understanding of my school schedule and are willing to work around my schedule during finals week. Working on campus has provided me great opportunities."

Meaningful Work

"I have the best job available! I work as a tutor on campus in the reading center, and I couldn't ask for better employment.  I get to choose the hours I work, I like the tutors, I love the environment and I love working with other students.  Never have I had a better job.  I feel that it is a privilege to work on this campus."

Professional Exposure

"My on-campus job gives me exposure to professionals who are outstanding in their career and gives me very applicable experience to my major."

Financial Savings

"FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes do not apply to service performed by students employed by a school, college, or university where the student is pursuing a course of study" (IRS.gov). In short, you're taxed less - over 6% less than if you worked off campus.
