One of the best ways to pay for college is to find work that helps foot part of the school fee. Here are 4 types of part-time jobs that provide students with extra income.
Jobs with employer scholarships
Some companies offer help paying for college through scholarship programs. Taco Bell, for instance, offers its part-time employees the chance to win up to a $ 25 ,000 award through its Live Mas Scholarship. The award can be used toward vocational schools or a two-or four-year college. Employees must have worked for the company at least three continuous months.
Work-study
For years the work-study program has allowed students to earn money through part-time work. Students aged between 16 and 24 who submit Free Application for Student Aid maybe qualified for the program. While these jobs aren't always on campus, students in work study earn at least $7.25 per hour-the state minimum wage.
Paid internships
A paid internship（实习） can not only help students pay for college but can also open doors for full-time work after graduation . According to a 2019 survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, nearly two-thirds of paid interns received a job offer, while just about 44% of unpaid interns were offered a job.
On-demand economy jobs
Known for its flexibility, the jobs can help students earn cash between classes. These on-demand jobs include completing small jobs, making deliveries or even driving for ride-booking services. Students can typically earn more through on-demand work, ranging from $10 to $20 an hour.
