Part-time jobs

[Avaj]

With the economy the way it is I think I need to take on part-time job to make ends meet.

I was wondering how many of you have part-time jobs and wonder what you do?

I work part-time for a courier company and go to school. It's an OK job but I only make $7.50, which translates to $6.10 per hour after taxes. Its a lot of hectic driving around town and lot of walking. Sometimes I'll go 100-300 miles out of town, but I mostly stay within the area. When I graduate this July I'll be through with it (if I can get a job). If I can't get a job I'll just continue on and get my MBA.

become a sales-man

there's potential to get paid well, and the most hours you'll spend a week will be around 20-25 hours

I have a part time job at a golf course here in Arizona and go to school.

I make on average, after tips, $12 per hour. I have $7.25 per hour base pay and then w/e tips for the day.

My course isn't the best for tipping because it is on a retirement community and they don't tip well at all.

I worked at a previous course, on a resort, and I was making about $14-16 per hour, full time though.

It is a pretty easy job, plus you get benefits of free golf, discounts on clubs and food and pro shop items also.

Can be some bad hours though. Opening is at 6 am and gets earlier than that later on in the year.

I do some work at a furniture store. I accept shipments, get furniture wrapped and ready to transfer, and many variations of the above. Its not ideal, but I really get along with most of the managers and sales people and it is a steady source of cash in these awful times.

As I said, I work at a furniture store and know plenty of furniture salesmen, they are all completely miserable creatures. I wouldn't recommend a gig in retail sales to my worst enemy.

I'm a Realtor. A lot of my peers are either getting out of the business or taking on 2nd jobs.

I've been fortunate and done well, but I've seriously been considering getting a 2nd job to help out. Especially after the wife and I just found out were expecting again.

My problem is pride. I can't figure out what part time job I could get. A few agents wait tables. There is good money in that, but I refuse to. That was a job I held at 17. No way I'm going to go back to it 14 years later when I have a bachelors.

My part time job would also have to not interfere with my real estate career - which also makes it difficult. I mostly meet with buyers and sellers weekday evenings/weekends. But days are spent at inspections, closings, various other appointments, as well as marketing etc.

I've concluded that I need to find either a grave-yard shift job, or an early morning job where I could clock out by 11-12 at the latest.

Rambling here, but yeah to answer the OP's questions, I've given thought to getting a 2nd job.

I'm a sports official. I call volleyball and basketball games. I make my most money during the season. I can make some good money when I really grind it out.

In the offseason, I may do the occasional AAU tournament if I need some quick cash.

If you want to call games, there are leagues all over the place. I'd try the YMCA and maybe contact a church to see if they participate in a league.

But since it's going into baseball/softball season, I think they might need officials for those games. You can check into the leagues to see if there's a need in your area.

It gives me alot of flexibility. I work as much or as little as I want. During the season, I can make 200/week if I want to work four days a week. A tournament can generate that much in two days.

In the offseason, you have to work more games to make money. $45-60 for three games is about standard.

.

If you don't have experience waiting tables before no one wants to hire you where I live. Dumb policy. Maybe it's for the best though because I've worked in sales and the general public can be stupid and rude.

I am a bartender when I want extra money. I do a lot of parties and work at a local establishment here in town.


A typical night/party gets me 100+ in tips + my hourly rate of 20/hr.



Life is good as a bartender. Everybody is your best friend. :



It is very easy to get your license. Most schools are about 2 weeks long and charge about 250$.

You can make around 500 bucks a week + tips. If you are serious about it, you can deduct your gas, car repairs & maintenance as a business write off on your tax return.
