Jobs to Pay for College that Pay the Best

Posted: Dec 12, 2009 |Comments: 0 | Views: 117 |

If you’re a student looking for jobs to pay for college, here’s a list of several choices you have:

1) Waiting tables. I had several friends in college do this. Some liked it, some hated it but liked the money, and some just plain hated it.

 If you’re gonna go this route, I recommend working at the nicest place you can, as this will lead to bigger tips (usually).

 2) Landscaping or construction. Although pretty labor intensive (and tougher for ladies to get into), this can pay pretty decent money as well.

 One issue though is that most of this work is done during the warmer weather, so during the late fall and winter you may need to find something else to do.

 3) Get a job on campus as an administrative assistant. I did this for a few years and liked it a good bit. Flexible hours and convenience are what you can usually expect, although your wages may not be as high as other places of employment.

 4) Intern or join the co-op program (if your school has one). These are great ways to make decent money as well as learn what kind of work you’ll be doing when you graduate.

 That said, a free internship is good for experience but isn’t a great job to help pay for college. 

5) Start your own small business. Although it may take time to learn your business and earn a decent profit, this is a great way to go.

In particular, I recommend affiliate marketing as your side business.

Affiliate marketing allows you to make a commission by selling someone else’s product, and then you’re done. You don’t handle shipping or anything.

This method of marketing is huge on the internet, and only getting bigger. People love it because they can do it on their own time.

Are you a late night owl? Take a break from studying for an hour or two and work on your business at 1 am.

Like waking up early? Work for a few hours while the world sleeps, then start your normal day.

Besides very flexible hours, here’s a few more reasons why affiliate marketing is great for college students:

<b>1) You’re learning a new skill that you can carry with you forever.</b> Writing skills you learn from marketing are always great to have, and you may end up making more money than you expect. Some marketers make six or seven figures.

<b>2) Easy access to see what’s popular and people are buying.</b> Chances are you have a lot of friends in college, so you see a lot of purchases going on (food, clothing, video games, etc.)

Use these trends to make you a little money!

<b>3) Work from anywhere.</b> Got an hour between classes? Work on your marketing from your laptop.

Meeting up with someone to study? Get there ahead of time and work for a bit while you’re waiting.

There are lots of jobs available to pay for college, but I’m a little biased towards making your own job. It gives a lot of independence and self-gratification that is hard to find anywhere else. Whatever your choice, good luck!
