12 Great Part-Time Jobs

In this economy, a regular 9 to 5 might not be enough to help you truly survive these difficult times. Below are a few part-time jobs you may be able to do on the side that might help boost your monthly income. Don't be afraid to do things that you feel like might be beneath your degree. It is those that are willing to grind it out no matter what that will be the ones that make it to the top. If you can balance a day job and a side job, you will prepare yourself to have to deal with a larger balance one day. Also, why not work multiple jobs now while you have time. You can also save more money by doing this. Take your side money and put it straight into your savings account. Take a look...

1. Bartending: Check out your local bars for a chance to do guest bartending. It usually only requires you to bring a certain amount of your friends to the bar with you and you can bartend for a night. You can also sign up for bartending classes to get your bartending license. You can then get night bartending gigs during the week. If you are good enough, you may even get an opportunity to do it on the weekends. I recommend bartending because it is fast cash. You can make a lot of money in one night.

2. Dog Walker: You clearly have to love animals to do this, but why not offer your next door neighbors to walk their dogs on the weekends. Create some rates, and make a little spending money. You only have to put money into some fliers to pass around the neighborhood.

3. Pet Sitters: Besides dog walking, you can even offer to babysit dogs at your home. This really works for people that either have dogs already, or people that have been yearning for a dog but can't afford it just yet.

4. Substitute teacher: This might not work if you have a 9 to 5, but it can work if you have a lot of part-time jobs. Check your local schools.

5. Waiter: Besides bartending, this is another way to make some fast cash. This is another job where you will be able to bring home cash nightly. You can easily do this on the weekend.

6. Babysitting: Offer to watch someones kids for a few hours and make a few quick bucks.

7. House sitter: A lot of people go out of town and are looking for someone to watch their house. If it is a nice house, you will kind of get a little mini vacation out of it and make some cash.

8. Elderly sitting: There are so many people that have their mother or father living with them, and sometimes they want to get out. Just like offering to watch someones kids, offer to watch their mother or grandmother.

9. Ebay: Participate in this online market by selling your items. Etsy: Here is another online market place to sell your items.

10. Teach older people how to use the computer and Internet: There are so many older people that do not know how to use the Internet, but probably need to learn if they are trying to communicate in today's society. Make some money off of offering tutoring lessons.

11. Office and home organizer: Are you extremely organized? You should put your skills to use and offer to organize someones home, office, closets, kitchens, etc....to people that have a hard time doing it themselves.

12. Tutor: Look up your local tutoring programs, and become a tutor today. You can even become a private tutor for a kid in your neighborhood.
