Beyond typical summer jobs, internships can prove to be an especially profitable way for college students to invest time in their futures.
“Internships offer a great way for students to discover whether their intended professional field is the career path they really wish to explore,” said Matt Lambdin, Ed.D., director of experiential learning in Ohio Northern's business college
“These opportunities put students in the workplace, and they get a real feel for what they do after graduation. They can make sure this is what they want to do on a daily basis after they graduate and, if so, determine what skills they need to develop in moving forward.”
Proposals to raise the minimum wage to as high as $15 may have a chilling effect, especially for those who are beginning their careers and students seeking part-time jobs, according to David McClough, associate professor of economics at Ohio Northern.
“As a higher wage is imposed, business owners in areas such as fast food and retail will assess their ability to hire workers. Firms will have to determine whether the benefit of an employee justifies the cost. Service businesses may determine to hire fewer workers and rely more on automation,” said McClough.

School’s out for the summer, but if you ride an Ada school bus there is one action you might take now for next school year.
Parents and caregivers of children who are picked up and/or dropped off at a location away from your residence need to complete a bus request form for the 2017-18 school year.
A copy of the request form is attached at the bottom of this story.
The deadline to submit the form is 9 a.m., Friday, Aug. 4. According to the school, due to busing changes, bus requests will not guarantee an approval. Parents must complete the bus request form first.
The requests must be submitted each new school year since they do not carry-over year-to-year.
