Careers
Students keep summer jobs, drive to KC, Topeka

Special to the Kansan
Summer isn't finished for a number of KU students — at least when it comes to their summer jobs.
Many KU students still have jobs they held during the summer, and many of those jobs are in Kansas City or Topeka. More than a few students live in Lawrence, take classes at the University and commute to work.
Sydney Wallace, Overland Park junior, has been juggling a job as a server at the Cactus Grill in Leawood and college life in Lawrence since she was a
freshman.
She said it was hard at first because she used to work double shifts on Saturday.
"I felt like I missed out on stuff, but now I think it is worth it." Wallace said.
A summer job may turn into a permanent job for many reasons.
Angie Coppola, Overland Park junior, has worked at Houllihan's in Overland Park for more than two years and continues to work each Saturday night.
"It is so convenient for me to be able to choose what shift I want each week, and I also have the ability to pick up shifts if I
need extra money." Coppola said.
Some students choose to commute because Kansas City. Overland Park and Topeka have more upscale, busy restaurants where students work.
Mike Lee, manager at Yahooz, an upscale restaurant in Leawood, said many college students continued to work during the school year after working during the summer. Yahooz recently placed a classified advertisement in the University Daily Kansan looking for college students to work in Leawood.
"We are looking for good, quality servers and have had luck in

the past with college students," Lee said.
Summer jobs outside the restaurant industry also offer advantages to students who continue to work during the school year. Keeping a store discount, the ability to choose hours, raises and having a job secured for school breaks and the next
summer are popular reasons students say they continue to work during the school year.
"It is great to not have to stress out over finding a job every year." Vena said.
Kyle Vena, Overland Park sophomore, works for the Kansas City Royals during the baseball season and enjoys the stability of keeping his job.
Common complaints about extending a summer job into the school year include time problems, scheduling difficulties and spending money on gas.
Nicole Schnellbacher, Topeka junior, said communication and scheduling problems were major disadvantages to keeping
her summer job at Bath and Body Works in Topeka.
"If I am only scheduled for a three-hour shift, then it is not worth it for me to drive 45 minutes to work." Schnellbacher said.
The large number of students keeping summer jobs outside Lawrence has an effect on local businesses, said Jim Dallen, a manager at the Mass. Street Deli, 941 Massachusetts St.
"We are trying hard to get fully staffed this year," Dallen said. "There is enough competition within Lawrence without adding competition from Kansas City."
