I have 10 or so tables of students' information, and I want to figure out how to find all of the students that are listed on all of the tables. Basically, I need a list of all of the possible Social Security Numbers from all of the tables so I can do some other calculations. Any help would be appreciated.
 
How did you happen to have 10 tables about student instead of one? Sound like a desing problem?
However if the tables have similar structure (fields), you could try an union query...
 
Each of the tables is for one month of employment for the students, showing department and work study earnings.

I think I just realized something...anyone who earned anything throughout the whole academic year should be in the last table. Thanks anyway. :)

Just FYI, you might have been able to do it with a UNION query linking subsets of all the tables. UNION queries can cross tables even if they aren't JOIN cases.
