I'd say it's fair enough, depending on your full length of experience. If you're only a college student, than why complain? You'll be paid minimum wage and as you say you have a lot of free time, therefore wouldn't you be able to do homework while working?
This in a sense is what you're paying for in terms of salary, is it not?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
