What are decent jobs for college students?

Asked by lbwhite89 (1213points) February 28th, 2011

So, today I put in my two weeks notice at my bank job. I’m looking for a new position, but having trouble thinking of places to apply.

1.) Right now, I can’t work 6PM-9PM Monday through Friday, but I’m available all other times. From May to August, I’ll be available any time, any day. After August, I’ll need nights and weekends.

2.) I’d like just a job with a flexible day/night/weekend schedule where I can stay until I graduate from college.

3.) I’m trying to stay away from the food industry. This includes grocery stores and restaurants.

4.) I need 25–30 hours per week and I really need something higher than minimum wage in order to cover my bills.

I’ve applied at Home Depot, Penske, Radio Shack, Best Buy, Autozone, Advanced Auto, CVS, and Walgreens. I tried Lowe’s and NAPA, but it didn’t fit my needs. I’m thinking about applied at PetSmart, Books-A-Million, Starbucks, and Barnes & Noble, but I know they’ll probably only give me minimum wage.

What are some other places college students tend to work but the pay isn’t awful?
