Whether you are student looking
for extra cash or working your
way through college or high
school there are opportunities for
you to make money. Working
while attending college can help
you finance your education.
Most students find that they can
be successful in their studies
while working 10 to 15 hours per
week. Research shows that
students who work moderate
hours (10-20 hours/week) learn
to manage their time better
which can lead to improved
academic performance.
Further, being employed affords
an opportunity to enhance
fundamental skills such as
communication, time
management, customer service,
and more.
You can look for student jobs in
the federal government. These
include: summer jobs,
internships and fellowships.
There are two main types of
student employment
opportunities in the federal
government. Both offer flexible
work schedules and enable
students to work year round.

The Student Temporary
Employment Program (STEP)
allows students to get paid for
part-time jobs during the school
year or a summer job and it
does not need to be related to
your major.
There are University work-study
employment programs which
may be offered and/or
considered according to
availability of funds and a
student's knowledge and/or
skills.
Working on campus helps you
earn money to pay for your
educational expenses and help
students develop a sense of
community and belonging.
Internships provide an individual
with a monitored or supervised
work or service experience
where the individual has
intentional learning goals and
reflects actively on what he or
she is learning throughout the
experience.
Internships before graduation
from college are one of the most
effective ways students can
enhance their potential for
retention in a future job.
Of course you can seek
employment in other areas such
as: food service, computer
programming, maintenance,
recreation, audio/video services,
housekeeping, office, and
graphic art and many more.
My final and best
recommendation would be to
become self-employed. Work
from home in a business that
you have a passion for. Did you
know that you can turn a hobby,
talent or skill into a successful
business? However, you will
need a website.

Here are just a few suggestions
of the types of businesses that
you may be interested in
running from home. They
include many areas such as:
-- drawing
-- self-publishing
-- decorating
-- sewing
-- crocheting
-- collecting
-- writing
-- dog grooming
-- raising horses
-- any 'how to' site
-- resume service
-- printing
These are just a few ideas. Just
keep in mind that just about any
topic that you would like to start
a business on could be a viable
business opportunity for you!
