Work study fail

So, I tried to get work-study last semester so that I could work with the theater department's master electrician as one of the student electricians. I was all excited because I really did enjoy the work and feeling useful, and even learning more about lights, sound, and media. I was also excited about being able to work with every and able to actually earn a paycheck. However I was not able to get work-study, so I went to financial aid today to see why. Basically, it's because I was deemed to not "need" it, financially. So, as it is, I cannot get work study, so I don't know if I can get hired at all or if I could work for maybe one day a week. I don't know.

*sigh*

Disappoint.
