I've been working with a CS professor for about a month and a half now as part of a work-study program. Do I get street cred for this?

I would say it depends on what you get done. That seems to be the theme of these responses.

Hope that motivates you to take advantage of your situation, since you're already in a working relationship with a talented person.

Not unless you change the world. You will learn a lot and I'm sure it will be valuable, but don't be at all surprised when it is discounted in the views of others.
