In your opinion, what is the highest paying job for an average college student?

We're talking basic.


Is it working at starbucks? a retail store? being a waitress?


no telemarketing job ideas, please. i heard you get treated pretty crappy there and you don't last long, so that's not an option.





the reason I am asking is because i like my job, but i am looking for something that pays even a $1+ more (I work in a department store). As I'm sure you all know, life can get pretty expensive, (who doesn't want to be paid more?!) so I'm looking for something that will help me survive a little better! :)





YES, i have been looking around, but....agh!!!


that gets frusterating after a while.





Keep in mind I have no degree (yet!) :) so it has to be a basic job, but something a little more honorable than Mcdonalds (no offense to anyone who works there).





Do you have any suggestions? I am just looking for some ideas to get me thinking. If you feel spontantious, throw out some job search sites too.


Thanks!

It kind of depends on what part of the country you are in and what your degree is in. Having actual work experience on our resume helps. Try to make waves while you are at your current job so you have something pretty cool to put on your resume and talk about in a resume, something that shows you are not scared to challenge the status quo.





Networking also helps. I know in college this isn't easy, but you'd be surprised what people are willing to do for college students that express interest in what they are doing. If there is a career field you are particularly interested in find a company that does that and ask if you can meet some people that do what you want to do. 2/3s of the time they'll say sure. This gets your face in front of prospective employers.





Two other ways you can network are to attend local chapter meetings for groups that are in the area you are interested in. A second is to get on Linkedin.com. I am sure once you sign on an search who is on it from your school you will expand your network quickly. I used this site to network my way to a great job with a company I had never heard of before. Give it a look. I definitely think it is worth your time.

Reply:well, I am in the same boat! My current job pays $7.81 an hour, which is the highest that I have been paid my whole life %26amp; I am in my junior year of college! That is really good for a student in my town of about 20,000.
