I just got one tutoring little kids for $12.75 an hour. It's the highest paying work-study job for undergraduates at my school...I think

What do you tutor?
A clerk with a hs diploma can make that or more (up to 15, 16/hr).

Yeah, all campus jpbs seem to be low-paying. Are there any non-slave-wage jobs that a hs graduate can get? (other than modeling or programming))

if youre actually in college, its hard because most business jobs are working while you would be in class... Private tutoring is usually pretty good if you can find clients. Many times you can charge 20 -25 an hour...

My friend worked as an extremely part-time (12 hours/week) software QA analyst while in college, but he started the job in HS and had 3 years experience doing it... he made $25/hour... when he finished school it jumped to $30/hour, full time... so he's doing pretty good now.

our highest paying job is a resident assistant, which pays us the cost of a room on campus. I've found you can get better money babysitting if there is a rich neighborhood around campus, or doing contract work off campus, though being an RA has a little more prestige than babysitting (at least theoretically)

Waiter or bartender at a nice place. Can easily make $30-$50/hour and flex schedule.

Well i have a job that pays 8 which is ok with me, i guess. i don't really do much of anything so. XD haha i used to have a tutoring job that used to pay me 27-40 dollars. (that was in South korea though.. My cousin works 6 days a week and he makes around 7000 dollars a month? He's not even using his college degree though haha (business)) 40 dollar for an hour and half was pretty sweet.... but my student was pretty smart so i'm thinking "why do u even need a tutor?" He lived in the US for like a year and he wrote better essays than I did. geez.

Wow what the hell those are all good-paying jobs. Don't those jobs pay above the national (your national, not mine) average?

probably. it's probably even above US national average so (but i only worked like an hour and half a day) Korean people are crazy about education (that includes english education) so they pay well for tutoring jobs... Good knowing a 2nd language, huh?
