Editor’s Note: Good jobs are hard to find. They are few and far between, and for students finding a job that will work with a demanding school schedule is nearly impossible. The upcoming issues hope to take a look at the difficulty of finding good jobs and ways to go about doing just that.

Time and money are two things that college students consider a rare commodity. So when the two present themselves simultaneously, it is an opportunity not to be missed.

Heather Freeman, a sophomore health science major, has found a way to make money and make the most of her time by making people beautiful.

As a Mary Kay beauty consultant, Freeman’s job description consists of hosting Mary Kay beauty parties and silling Mary Kay cosmetics via catalog orders.

“The job has been worth it. It’s flexible for a student, and when you utilize your surroundings and time, then you make pretty good money.”

Freeman became involved in the company when she was 18 and since has found that, while at first it was a small financial risk, it has paid off in the long run.

“The benefits are all according to how much you put into the job. The more you do, the more you are rewarded.”

According to Freeman, each consultant has a senior consultant as well as a director who is in charge of them, and there are “success meetings” each week, in which consultants receive rewards for successes, win prizes and set goals for the future.

While the job itself is very flexible and convenient, it is not without its own challenges.

“The main challenge that I face is making myself work, because it is my own business. I don’t have set hours and it’s hard to keep myself focused…”

For those who are self-motivated and love people, this job could perhaps be ideal. Flexibility is one of the determining factors for many collegiate job-seekers today, so if you are searching for a place of employment, you may not need to look any further than your own home.
