what jobs would you recommend for current college students?

Answer 1

If you did great on the SAT, get a job tutoring at the of the test preparation centers. The hourly pay is good.

Otherwise, you have the traditional jobs - waiting tables, night shift at the convenience store, clerk in a shoe store - none pay very well.

My son worked the evening shift at a grocery store. After graduation, they hired him in a managerial position and after 4 years with the company, he is making more than I ever did.

My older daughter did the test preparation thing and that paid almost all of her living expenses and entertainment for the last 2 years of college. And, when she graduated, she was snapped up by the local school district over many more experienced teachers because she had the test prep background.

Good luck to you

PS I went to college and grad school on the GI Bill, so never had to have a job until graduation

Answer 2

Retail and food service jobs usually offer flexibility with hours, but the pay tends to be lower than office work. But food service can mean tips and if you live in a college town, even delivering pizza can be a good job- but it's offset by higher gas costs. I worked at JC Penney when I was in college, and the hours were good and the employee discount helped me furnish my dorm room.
