This great article posted in Kiplinger discusses some great ideas for part-time jobs for college students. The author states:
"Throughout college, I found myself torn between growing up and saving the whole “adult thing” for after graduation. One factor in this mental balancing act was working part-time. I needed the money, but I didn’t want a job to take up all of my free time.
Ultimately, with a bit of time management and the right attitude, a part-time job actually enhanced my college experience. I felt more in control of my finances -- and I didn’t have the guilt of spending my parents’ money on Friday and Saturday nights. I also started to slowly build up my own savings, a habit that I’m happy I acquired. Above all, it pushed me to step outside the “campus bubble” and get to know other people and parts of my community."
Some of the jobs mentioned in the article include:
- Restaurant server
- Retail sales
- Caregiver
- Freelance Writer and others
Our own son, tutors at college not only for money but it also assists with studying so he is doubling up the benefits of his job. He also works part-time as a social media consultant. So don't limit yourself on what you can do!
