Someone told me yesterday they were making about $35/hour working at a jail, and they had previously been making $45/hour as a Psych Tech at a prison. (She had do do a year of school to get that job.)

There are a lot of really high paying jobs in government that require little to no education, and look a LOT better on a resume than working retail, fast food, or some other basic minimum wage job.
.

As for flexibility, with the pandemic, now is a great time to find remote work, as well as really flexibly work. I also know of a company hiring basic health care workers (no experience required) for $20/hour, and they have shifts on a pick up basis, on call/part time, just let them know your availability and if you are reliable they will work with your schedule. I'm doing work like this through nursing school and it's great; I can also pick up double shifts for bonus pay, and make over $500/day if I want a little extra cash.

you could drive and deliver food, or people... and you could do that on your own terms and time

you seem to be very nice, so could be a hostess maybe, at a restaurant...

you could also keep it school related, maybe some tutoring... or as campus tour guide, most colleges do have some jobs here and there as assistants, receptionists... etcétera

I worked for a local hospital in my early 20's cleaning patient rooms and in '07, getting paid $11/hr was good money! I wonder how much they get paid now! I got double on the weekends and optional overtime. I liked that job.. Or I worked at Culver's for a few years. Goodwill was an interesting job. I sorted the donations. Then I worked a job for the public school summer program in '09. That was fun. These kids had some disabilities like Autism and cerebral palsy but we did stuff w/them and took them places. That was a cool job too. Find a job you will like though not something you will dread going to everyday! Summer jobs are usually a lot of fun. Well good luck!

Try babysitting or nannying. I did that some in college, I had plenty of time to get my school stuff done, and it can actually pay pretty well.

HighlyVolatile · Answer

I don't know if this suits you but I took on a part-time job in uni working as part of the cleaning staff in a hotel. I didn't do as much cleaning of rooms as the women working but I ended up mostly folding and lifting heavy bed frames up and downstairs. I also cleaned the windows outside the window, vacuumed the floors, took out the trash, but mostly as a guy they favored me to lift heavy things and do some of the hardest manual labor.

I liked that one fairly well since I worked at a video rental store before and I found it stressful dealing directly with customers, especially ones who were very rude and complained a lot.

WhatTheHeckkkk · Answer

Do you like kids or pets? You could be a nanny or dog walker/pet sitter but it’s not for everyone lol… Some people don’t like kids or pets, but the hours are super flexible.

I don't know any good "main" jobs however there are some jobs where you can end up earning a few extra bucks (sort of like a side job). if you can draw somewhat decently, you might want to get an art social media account and do commissions (however it'll probably take some time before you gain any popularity) or try to make money off of instagram as a model (which would also take some time before you get a following). but yeah, that's all i can think of as a way to earn a few bucks.

CasuallySamsonite · Answer

if you are almost 21yo you could get good at bar tending... the tips are likely to be really amazing if you don't mind the scene and late nights... Also, if you look around there is always side gigs to be found depending on your interests, work ethic and background.

Dnice1 · Answer

You could work in daycare, the pay is decent and lots of centers need teachers. The nice thing you don't always have to have any experience. They'll train you if you haven't. If you like kids it could be a good job for you. I work at one and I find it pretty enjoyable.

Telephone interviewer. You annoy tf out of people, seeing if they want to do a survey. Chances are, you'll get paid and keep the job but you need to not be a bish and cry when they call you a mofo for interuppting their dinner time.

what about being a food delivery babe? 😃 Door Dash and all those things whatever they're called. You can pick and choose when you want to deliver stuff. Other than that, I don't know. Lots of places are flexible with hours if you ask them about it, but yeah, office type stuff would definitely want you there when they need you there, so that's no bueno.

Biancam13 · Answer

You can become a tutor for your college major, lots of young teens are looking for tutors nowadays and you can work from home and the hours are flexible. You choose when you work basically

DermalPunch · Answer

Well retail involves working with people. You could try looking for a job with community centres or other jobs dealing with the public. Grocery stores are kind of parallel to retail as well.
