On campus positions start at Virginia minimum wage, $12.00/hour, and can go up to $15.00 depending on the nature of the job.

It depends on your job. On-campus positions are very flexible to fit with your class schedule. Most supervisors are also very understanding when you have an exam or an assignment-filled week. Of course it helps to give them as much notice in advance as possible. 

Some off-campus jobs are equally as flexible, but students tend to encounter more problems with these positions.
