Student employment, easy-going job, nice way to make extra money

Lab operations assistant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I monitored the production labs and checked people in. Most of the time, not much going on, so I can basically do homework or whatever other tasks I needed. Pretty easy-going. Nice way to make extra money doing part-time work as a student.

Cons

Not much upward mobility. It's a chill job, but doesn't lead anywhere and hard to work it into something meaningful on your resume for future, more serious jobs.
