It’s the first week of school. Your Econ 1010 professor just announced that you needed the 42nd edition of the textbook, which costs $1,200. You consider moving forever to Spain, where $1,200 would cover about a year of tuition. Surely they have fine introductory economics courses at the Universidad de Sevilla. But getting a visa would take too long. Also, your Spanish is no bu... bue... How do you say “good” in Spanish again?
The point is: You need a job. Desperately. Whether it’s for tuition, rent or just to have some semblance of social life, you need some supplemental cash. That’s where we come in.
Below are 10 listings we think are ideal for college students. We also addressed some of the challenges that could inhibit your ability to work: All of the included jobs are part-time (because you’re busy), entry-level (because you’re inexperienced) and decent-paying (because you’re broke). ¡Buena suerte! (Now you know how to say “good” and “luck” in Spanish!)
