What is a good paying job for a 20 year old college student?

I need a job that pays fairly decent because I have to pay for books, car and credit cards. Does anyone have any ideas of what would be a good job at my age? Im trying to make at least 10 dollars an hour.

Why don't you go and get your bartending license and then you would only have to work on the weekends if you wanted and you could make good money.

Have you thought of being an entrepreneur? It only requires a laptop and internet connection. Easy to start, small capital, working from home and unlimited income potential are the characteristics of internet business. If you put your name & e-mail in www.wealthywinningwomen.com, you can have a free website building and so much information about internet business.

To your success,

Hi,

You can check out http://careerguide.careerdirection.info for some useful info and tips. Good luck!

Be careful with all of these sites that promise to earn you thousands of dollars by working from home!!!

This is actually a pretty common scam used on college students so keep an eye out. If any of them ask you to put in some of your own money before you get paid then that's a good sign that it may be a scam.

Some of them may ask you to sell stuff for them, but you'll have to buy the product from them first then go out and try to find some suckers that will want to buy it. They'll make it sound very appealing by giving you some figures of how much you can earn, but the reality is that most people wont sell much and they will just end up with boxes of unusable goods to store.

The other danger is that some sites will make you fill out a phony application that will be used to steal your identity. Unless it's a reputable company that you've heard of, don't apply for any job online.

Finally, be careful with those jobs that promise to pay you for stuffing envelopes. I knew of a few people that never go paid doing that.

The best job for you may be working in a book store (you can get discounts on some of those textbooks), record store, coffee shop, or waitering in a restaurant (the tips can easily bring you up the 10/hour rate). These jobs usually have flexible hours for college students. You may also look into jobs related to the field you want to study.

Good luck!
