OZZIE’$ TIP OF THE MONTH
Get a Bank Account. It is ok to be
cautious but banks aren’t just about
pressuring you to get credit cards with
high interest rates. They offer treasured
services that students can value from
including check cashing, debit cards,
online banking, balance alerts, personal
loans, direct deposit, financial education
and some offer identity theft protection.
Many banks are also featuring student
programs that may offer money back
deals as well as low interest rates for
students.
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR
SUMMER BREAK
It’s time to take full advantage of your
break! Although it is time to lay off the
books and have a little fun, you can be
preparing for your future at the same
time.
1.
Follow a passion. Try to do
something constructive that will
also build your resume. For
example, a student who enjoys
the outdoors and hiking could
look into working at a summer
camp or national park.
2.
Create an internship. You may
come across a company or
person you would really like to
work for but they do not have
internships set up. One option
is to offer to work for free. The
job skills gained may be worth
their weight in gold.
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR
SUMMER BREAK (CONTINUED)
3.
Start a business. Whether you
like to make cute homemade
earring, can screen print shirts,
or know how to build financial
budgets- offer your services to
fellow students to get more
experience doing what you like
and making a few bucks at the
same time.
4.
Think outside the box. Doing
something constructive doesn’t
mean it has to be traditional. If
you are really into a sport,
performing, or even yoga work
on developing your skills to the
next level!
5.
Read! Read! Read! Whatever
you decide to do this summer
— work, volunteer, intern or
study — pick up a few books,
newspapers, or magazines.
Reading opens your mind and
introduces you to new things
while also improving important
skills such as comprehension
and vocabulary.
