Top 5 Jobs for Students

by ann on November 15, 2009

Countless of students are having a hard time paying for college or simply want extra spending money.  Have no fear, you’re not alone. First off, you must visit our website for daily posts of scholarships waiting for you to apply for and claim. It’s free money!

Secondly, here’s a list of top 5 jobs that will allow you to be flexible enough to balance work and school.

1.  Retail stores.  These jobs are easy to get since they often hire part-time employees. A nice discount doesn’t hurt either!

2.  Restaurants. At most restaurants, you will find yourself around plenty of other students and you’ll have a lot of fun doing it.  Chain, quick serve, and fast food restaurants are known to hire students. Easy, fun, and flexible.

3. Coffee Shops. You probably spend plenty of time studying in them or are already spending plenty of money in them so why not work at one?  Coffee shops are a great place to get your caffeine fix and make some easy money.

4. Libraries. They are a convenience place to work especially if your school has one. In addition, libraries are quiet and slow-paced enough where you can find time to study in between helping visitors.

5.  Tutoring Centers. Your expertise as a student will allow you to pass it on and help other kids.  Tutoring centers are often very flexible…perfect for your student schedule.

So next time you find yourself in a money jam, consider these easy, fun, and flexible jobs.  And even if you’re not in a money jam, you’ll find that saving up early will really pay off later! Good luck!

I just linked to this post in my newsletter! These jobs are ideal for college students. Flexible and more or less ok if you work them for a year or two. We post part time jobs for students by our Career Service Center that work well with a school schedule and they’re almost always one of the above.

Great advice to steer students in the right direction!
