Do they have anything at the school? Like in the bookstore, library, etc.? Some of my college friends who are super busy straight A students have done that. I did the opposite, I work a ton and go to school part time. |

Location: west of East Texas | I waited tables at the most expensive restaurant in town. I was able to work Monday and Tuesday nights and save the weekends for rodeoing. I made way better money than minimum wage and could pick up extra shifts if I wanted to because there was always someone needing a shift covered. Working at night meant I had time to ride after class. |

Location: California | Oh how I wish I could just go to school and not worry about work. I work full time and go to school full time online so I can do both. I am in Stephenville. I would say something at the school or a couple nights a week at a restaraunt. |

Location: North Central Kansas | Try to get an on campus job. I have worked for one of the university's tutoring center for 3 years now. I started as an office staff, then got promoted to office manager, now I'm the evening supervisor. Most places on campus are really flexible with your schedule. I am always able to work in-between classes (even if it's just for an hour).
ETA: Depending on where you are working at on campus, when you have down time at work you can work on homework.

| When I was in college I was a bartender and server at a Days Inn. I made really good money there, but a front desk job would also be good. Typically the shifts are like 3-11pm and you could work maybe Mon-Wed nights. You would have a lot of time to do homework because there is tons of downtime after the check-in "rush" in the early evening. |

| Serving all the way! I don't think I could ever do anything different. I can easily make around $100+ in four hours in a small town restaurant. |

Location: Nebraska | Bartend or waitress. Depending on what you want to do, you might be able to get on PRN at a nursing home or something as a CNA or Med Aide. Then you can pick up the hours you want depending on the place. At the place I work, you just had to work 1 weekend a month. A bartender or waitress makes more but being a CNA will give you great experience if you want to get into healthcare. I worked 20-30 hrs a week while going to school full time |

Location: Texas | Both if my kids had on-campus jobs- daughter was a bus driver & son worked for maintenance. It was great because they both had very flexible schedules, kept their jobs for summer jobs if they wanted, & home for holidays. It was steady work & they stayed employed all 4 yrs. The downside is that the pay was not great. |
