I would personally recommend working with IGNITE because it’s an on-campus job. Being a student union here at Humber, they really care about your hours in terms of being able to give enough time for college as well as for work, so that you don't have a super hectic schedule; working at IGNITE you’re getting to interact with students all over campus and not just your program.
