Harvard's Cushy Jobs

"I can't imagine doing less work," Kandall says. "I don't think people know the QRAC exists. It's the sweetest job ever."

Does Kandall ever get any work done?

"I read a 400-page book during my last shift," she boasts.

Even for these fortunate members of the Harvard work force, there can be a few stressful moments.

"Last week they were washing dishes above the video game center," Dake says. "When I was leaving I saw water gushing through the ceiling to the floor. Water was everywhere."

Pan, the bell's desk attendant, concurs that her job has its share of anxiety-ridden moments.

"During fire drills, 300 people jam into the lobby," she says. "We have to keep the entrances clear and get them to go outside. We also help the tutor organize the students."

But these pitfalls are the exception rather than the rule. All things considered, if you're searching for a big paycheck and a lot of free time, it should be hard to find a sweeter deal.
