Hi Antonio,
Great Question! Many colleges usually offer different on-campus/student worker jobs that students can apply to at the beginning of each semester. I'd recommend trying to find an on-campus job that compliments your major and/or provides you with opportunities to network with professors in your desired profession. For example, in college I worked for the business department which allowed for me to gain an immense amount of networking experience with my business professors which I can now contact today if needed for letters of recommendation. Another option to consider is an internship, especially because those are always a great way for you to gain professional experience and learn more about the field you will be stepping into in the future.

When in college, it's so important to master the art of finding a side gig. Food delivery are great options now. When I was in school, I babysat all the time. Any job that will give you flexible hours is great when in school but I was so busy with my studies that I really preferred working just when I had time as opposed to working an actual job. Restaurants usually have really flexible hours so they're a good option when in college too.

Hello Antonio…
If you know what field you would like to major in, try finding volunteer opportunities. Helping the professors and teacher assistance, they will more than likely lead you to paying jobs by meeting and networking with people.
Also, try to work at a job that is accommodating to your school schedule, this will help with time management.
Hope this helps..

Hi Antonio,
Many colleges offer student jobs within campus, typically the hours will be flexible so you can accommodate your academic load. Make sure you ask the admissions team on the schools you are checking for the programs they may have for students to work in campus. Jobs in the campus also open networking opportunities that will help you find other jobs and they are safer for you as student.
Also, be aware of scams, there are some external job openings posted at school campuses by unscrupulous people trying to get inexperienced students as personal assistants or other apparently simple jobs by offering money up front or sending checks before any tasks have been performed, be aware of those, they are trying to get your money, so make sure you check the web for these scams before you apply.
Good Luck!

Hello: If you have some expertise you can also sign up for "justanswer.com" and provide advice in various areas for cash. Another option is "usertesting.com", where you get paid to evaluate web sides. A third option is to complete surveys (surveyjunkie) is one site.

Nathan’s Answer
I agree with everyone's answer who wrote before me. Finding part or full time jobs on campus is a good opportunity. Being a TA (teaching assistant) can be good for your long-term ambitions and will put money in your wallet. Like Kody Jones said, money in the market is another good way to make your money grow. Some brokerage houses will provide you with money in the form of fractional shares to get into the market with them. Companies like Robinhood and WeBull offer free fractional shares just for signing up (make sure you read the fine print on how to get the shares). You can also make your money work for you by putting your money into a high yield online savings account like Ally or Marcus which at the time of this writing have a 3.4%-3.75% APY. If you can take pictures of your receipts, you can try Amazon Shopper Panel where you get $1 per receipt, up to $10 per month. Just a couple thoughts to get you moving.

Through teaching assistantship maybe!

There are many ways to earn extra money while in college. Look for ads in your student office. See if the school library or cafeteria is looking for help. Ensure, however, that the job does not interfere with the time you need to devote to your studies.

If you have extra cash, the stock market is an amazing way to learn investing and also make extra cash on the sides. I'm all self-taught and I have been funding my school payments just by investing.
It takes an extremely large amount of patience. You must also be able to do enough research on each company you invest in. There's many ways to get started, and there are also free websites where they give you "practice" money before you actually invest any of your own.
