Hi Tina, I'm surprised you're having problems getting paid on time. I've never had an issue. How overdue are your payments?
There are physical shops too, just search those in your area. Those aren't all college shops. Unless perhaps there's just not many open assignments in your area. I'd also suggest that you make sure to expand your search area a little bit to see more opportunities. Good luck!
There aren't any available right now. They usually post new ones right at the beginning of the month. And yes, you need to sign the agreements with each msp if you want to get paid by them, as well as do shops for them. Good luck!
All these posts are excellent! I also just wanted to add that recently (thus past Friday), I had a phone shop where I had to call and get info and then fill out my report and send it in for review. However, the location wasn't open that day due to weather conditions. What I did immediately was contact the MSP and let them know what happened, so I wouldn't be penalized for not completing the shop on time. I guess they made an internal note regarding this, and are allowing me to complete the shop tomorrow (Monday).
