How is all of story county considered the Ames metro? Not questioning you, just seems a little weird.

Most, if not all, of the Census Buruea's Metropolitan/Micropolitan Statistical Areas use counties as the "building blocks":

I didn't say nobody worked full-time, but my guess would be out of all the ISU students who are not in summer classes, a majority of them are not working 40-hours a week during the summer. I tried finding the article I read a couple of weeks ago that talked about how every year more and more college students are relying on financial aid rather then getting full time jobs during the summer. Really, there is not enough of a job supply out to match the demand. In Iowa alone there are probably somewhere around 75,000 college students who don't take classes in the summer. Id say of the people I knew in college, it was probably equal in those who worked full-time, those who worked part-time and those who didn't work at all.

I can't say for the other colleges on campus, but atleast in the College of Ag it seems that working full time internships for atleast your last 2 summers is the norm.

As far as making money in college goes, if you actually want to make the money, it is there. Most kids don't want to, especially in the school year. I figure I will make about $17,000 this calendar year before taxes.
