American Universities are perhaps the most flexible in providing opportunities to the students who want to take up work as they pursue their education. A student pursuing full time education can work as much as 20 hrs per week when they are taking classes and 40 hrs per week during their holidays. Another interesting trivia is that more than half the jobs that have been created in the past four years have been part time jobs especially in the healthcare, retail and social sector.
Well this is certainly not a pleasing piece of information for a candidate seeking full time employment; but it exemplifies prospects for college undergrads that are at offer.
Nature of Jobs-
1. Tutor jobs -Tutoring is perhaps one of the best college job, as it gives an opportunity for the students to impart knowledge on subjects that one is expert on without sparing more than couple of hours a day .Besides being a tutor for school students, there are opportunities that American universities offer for students to be a tutor on campus by making use of college resources like libraries and that too within the college premises.
Average hourly pay-$14.59
2. College guide– College guide is a perfect college job for undergraduate, as it gives an opportunity for him/her to know about the upcoming batch of students, interact with them, share his/her own experiences and it also builds up confidence as one has to constantly give presentations to a group of people. (No information on average hourly pay)
3. Hotel Chains -No other job can be more flexible than a restaurant job, most of these require attendants who can serve on flexible hour basis. This serves the purpose of college students as they can work in early morning and lunch schedules and give ample time for their academics in the evening. Another advantage besides being paid for work is that these restaurants have provision for food at zero to discounted prices.
Average hourly pay-$10.08, includes tips.
4. Fitness Trainer– I bet this job guarantees more fun than any of the other college jobs, though this job requires certification, colleges hire students who clear university affiliated certification programmes or who certify oneself from American Council on Exercise .Positives from this job is that it offers oneself to interact with other students, reduce stress levels and offers a career opportunity as fitness trainer; a career that is going to be most sought after in years to come.
Average hourly pay-$8-$11 per hour
With an economy that is reviving, there are opportunities across industries particularly in health care (Care taker & baby sitter), banks (Bank Teller) & opportunities to work from home (Freelancer & data entry operator). Average pay for these college jobs would be around $8-$15 per hour. There may be more variety of college jobs for students at offer, but it is important that the students make an informed choice so that the jobs that they take up not only meet their financial requirements, but also gives them skill sets for the jobs they might take up post education.
