LRC Peer Tutor vs RHS monitor – which one is a better choice?
Hi everyone, rising sophomore here trying to figure out which campus job to take this summer and could use some outside perspective.
I applied for both Peer Tutor at the LRC and Residence Hall Security Monitor. The monitor position pays almost double what tutoring does, which is hard to ignore as a broke college student. But the tutor role feels like it'd look way better on a resume — especially since I'm CS/Math and would be tutoring those subjects.
I'm not really hurting for the money right now, but 2x pay is 2x pay. On the flip side, I'm eventually gunning for internships and research positions, and I feel like "Peer Tutor in a CS or Math course" reads better than "RHS Monitor" to a recruiter.
Has anyone done either of these? Is the tutoring experience actually worth the pay cut, or am I overthinking it and should just take the money? Would love to hear from people who've been in either role.
