What sidejobs are best for college students?

I want to try and get school finished as soon as possible but its either I get a student loan and be in debt for a good 10 years or I work at the same time and try to finance as much as I can as far as living expenses go. Is it possible to work and go to school without being too distracted by the other?

Actually, studies have shown that people who work part-time while in school do better than students we don't. There are 168 hours in a week and depending on how many credit hours you are enrolled in it will require certain amount of hour. For example, if you are enrolled in 18 credit hours, you will go to class for 18-25 hours a week (depend on your classes). It is recommended that you spend 3 hours studing outside class for each hour of class which will take another about 54 hours. Let's say you sleep 7 hours a day in average. It will leave you with about 45 hours to do other things. You can easily work 15-20 hours a week without having to give up anything. Try getting a job on or around campus. It will save you transportation time. Also, a lot of campus jobs are very laid back and you can get your homework done while working. I go to college fulltime and work 25-30 hours a week. Thus far, I have an impressive GPA.

believe it or not - sex industry - strip clubs, porn web sites, etc.

www.craigslist.com look under "erotic services"

waiting tables.

bartend or wait tables, flexible shifts and you can make decent money

I have a Buddy in college and he does Internet stuff in his spare time. Here's a post he made in a Forum

stripping

My wife was a nanny while she was doing her graduate degree. It worked out well, as she was in a nice house watching a child, and when he was napping, she was able to get some study time in as well.

waitressing. you make decent money on tips. and the hours are pretty flexible.

if you want an easy job, then the school library.

one at a big store like walmart where you can have flexable hours. and some colleges have on-campus jobs where they either give you a check or take it out of your tuition

i think u should go for it! u could like work in a resturant or like 7 eleven or something small but pays a lot of pounds -O sorry i mean money i live in london

I worked the whole time i was in college. I worked for a health food store most of the time and it was great because they closed at 7, paid well, and it would get dead from time to time so I could secretly do my homework.

You should study

Try to find a job that will help with your studies either directly or through very light work loads. Try tutoring, working in the school library, grading papers, lab gopher, etc.

A job that has something to do with your future interests. For instance, if you want to be a Vet you should get a part time job at a local Vet office, animal shelter, or pet store. If you want to major in Biology you should try to get on with the school in the lab department cleaning up or even helping with research. If you want to do something involving history or the like a job at a library or museum would be ideal. Otherwise, just hook yourselfe up with a fast food gig.

Library jobs are good if they are slow, beasue you can study while doing the job...does not work in busy libraries, but its still money.

Don't become a stripper
Go for waitress, bar tender position the pay is good the hours are short and they will work with your schedule. but keep your cloths on and your pride intact.

i would work at a restaurant try to get a job at a nicer place to get payed more money

I did it. I worked in a school cafeteria during the school year, and pumped gas or worked on a farm during the summers. I graduated with a fairly small student loan - about the equivalent of 2 semesters tuition, which I paid off in a couple of years.

Depending on where you are going to school, you may be able to get a workstudy job through the financial aid office. If you're lucky, you can find a job that relates to your major, too. Good luck!

Yes, erotic dancing. Even medical & law students I know do it for fast, easy cash. It also keeps you in shape. Just stay away from the drugs & the chicken heads.

I did both full time and made it through. In the beginning it is easy to do both because the classes you will be taking are rather common so you have a lot of different times you can take the class, or you might be able to get a job during the day and work at night.
When you start getting into you major's classes it becomes harder because there are fewer times available so you will need to work nights.
Waiting tables is a good option but can be physically draining. I would suggest working at a open late video store or at a open 24 hours store, where you pretty much stand around while you work.

Don't listen to all those jerks who mentioned stripping and stuff. I work as an assistant at a law office part-time and that gives me plenty of time for school, homework and social life. The pay is good and sometimes you have nothing to do, so the attorneys let me do my homework. It's great! Being a waitress is hard and you will be drained and in no condition to go to school or do homework. I also got my real estate license and I do that on the weekends. Good luck! It is possible to work full-time and attend school full-time!!

Don't worry about going into debt to pay for college. Unless you are majoring in pottery or thatrical arts, you will make enough in your career to be able to afford to pay off the loans.

That said, check into employment there on campus. It's usually a cruise of a job, and very flexible with your school schedule. You can fit in a few hours here and there, not miss out on study time, and wind up w/ a check every week or every other week.

Usually the financial aid offices can steer you best on how to get an on-campus job. You can always get a traditional loan, and pay on the loan as you get the money.... you don't HAVE to wait until you graduate, although interest is deferred and so are required payments, for about 6-9 mos, after you graduate.

More people work their way through school than have their parents pay for everything. At first you want a job that's flexible like a server or fast food. Some fast food even pays tuition. After you have a year or more of education and think you know what you want to do ask the school to help you get a paying co-op or intern type of job. These are great since you gain experience and make money at the same time and when you graduate the experience means you'll make more money with your first real job. Good Luck!

waiting tables at nice place like stake house's and stuff were you get good tips. my aunt went and got her x-ray teach and rised and kid off waitting tables. u have to be good to the comstomer and make shore they always have drink and what the ask for. be plate as well and you make money i see my aunt on and fri sat sun come home with over 500 in tips .make shore the place dosent make you split you tip money. you get ****** for other plp slackness that way .

Try working in your school computer lab if they have one. Usually you only have to help someone every once in a while and you have access to a computer to do you homework on while you have nothing else to do. Is what I am doing now. Also work for the Student help desk gaining skills for the real work world. Looks good on a resume

It's not easy...
I am a married mother of 2. I also work a full time job while attending college. I do not strip, or offer my erotic services on craigslist.
I do work in a call center in the evenings 4 days a week, including the weekends. It's not fun, but it makes balancing work, school and other obligations possible without taking out massive amounts of student loans...

I would recommend looking for something along the lines of that or look into babysitting...

There are TONS of ways to earn money without taking your clothes off!

try catering or bartending on the side - you should be able to make some decent money that way, and those jobs tend to be flexible.

An in-home party business. It will be totally flexable with your schedule and you can work when you want to work. You can make really good money and it takes very little out of your day ~ average party is 3 hours and the income is usually $200 - $500+. With being in college you will have tons of resources and customers. If you would like me to send you more information please do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to send you some information for you to review in the privacy of your own home.

U must concentrate ur study.If u really want to do a sidejob then teach the student (tution).
