Hello! I would suggest trying a work-study program. You would work for the college you attend. Work studies provide part-time jobs for undergraduate and graduate students with financial need. However, not many colleges apply earnings directly to your tuition and fees.

Other jobs:

Bartender-National average salary: $11.64 per hour.

Food server-National average salary: $11.72 per hour.

Call center representative-National average salary: $25,524 per year.

Teaching assistant- National average salary: $11.85 per hour.

Resident advisor- National average salary: $13.24 per hour.

Library assistant- National average salary: $13.24 per hour.

Teller- National average salary: $13.47 per hour.

Dog walker- National average salary: $15.23 per hour.

You could also try Uber or Lyft if you have your personal car. I would advise you check: https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/finding-a-job/high-paying-jobs-for-college-students

If none of these fit you. I hope this helped.

Good luck!
