How can I make money on the side during college when I don't have much time?

Between going back to school and my extensive family commitments (#specialneedsmom) I would love to find ways in my situation to make money (even just a little bit) in my spare moments.

Any thoughts?

Kelsey’s Answer

A great side job during college is babysitting for a family living in the local community near your college. My university granted access to their career website to enable members of the local community post advertisements for babysitting positions. Often times, these positions are for after school care - which works well with a college student's schedule.

Great question Jessica. I'm sorry it hasn't been answered yet! I thought I'd share a few links to other relevant Q&A on CareerVillage.org that should be super helpful for you to read through.

I'd also like to chime in :)

I made the most money in college when I was a server at a restaurant. It was also a great learning experience. Don't forget about paid internships! Again, not only will you be making money but you'll be gaining invaluable work experience that your resume will thank you for. Find all the start ups and/or nonprofits in your local community and reach out. They will always need the help!

Lindsey recommends the following next steps:

Ask your friends/students who attend your school what they do/did to make money on their spare time. They may even be able to get you a job!
