"So, what do I do when this semester ends and I lose my work-study job?"

Have you applied to the Mcdonalds, Subway, Biggby, etc that are next to campus?

The majority of college students do not want to work a fast food job, take a job as a security gaurd, clean the casino, etc. Between Midtown and Downtown Detroit, there are all kinds of part time jobs available for those who want to work.
