Grocery Store Employee

Grocery stores hire students throughout the year. There are many different jobs at a grocery store; workers can bag groceries, stock shelves, mop floors, or even operate a cash register. Part-time employees can expect to make minimum wage working at a grocery store. Some perks of working for a grocery store include short shifts, merchandise discounts, and schedule flexibility.

7. Landscaper/Lawn Care

Working as a landscaper or doing lawn care part-time lets you get outside and enjoy the sunshine, while also getting paid to work. Mowing lawns during the summer in high school is paid well. Now, people pay a small fortune to have their lawns mowed and their hedges trimmed each week.

If you happen to live in a cold weather climate, you can clean snow from driveways and sidewalks during the winter months. If your family has a lawnmower, this can be a real money-making opportunity for you.

Doing lawn care can be hot and boring work, but making your schedule, choosing your clients, being outdoors, and setting your own rates makes running a lawn care service the ideal part-time business.

Pizza Delivery

If you have a car and a good driving record, you can get a job delivering pizzas. Delivery drivers don’t get paid very much, but they do receive tips. Work typically entails driving back and forth to the pizza place, picking up pizzas and delivering them to customers.

Students with pizza delivery jobs have a sense of autonomy, and they can listen to their own music while they are working. Delivering pizzas on time and collecting money teaches responsibility, and teenagers love the freedom of driving their own vehicle. It may not be glamorous, but with the right attitude, and a good pizza, delivery drivers can have a good time at work, while making decent money.

There is an element of danger in this job, however. Pizza delivery drivers are occasionally robbed or assaulted.

Personal Assistant Services

Running errands, walking dogs, and wrapping gifts are just a few of the tasks performed by a personal assistant. Let the adults in your life know that you’re providing personal assistant services at a reasonable price. The services might be sporadic at first, but as you gain the trust of your customers, they will give you more and more responsibilities, which will lead to more money, too.

The amounts to charge will vary according to the services offered. Disadvantages include uptight clients, and being responsible for things that are sometimes out of your control, like an unruly dog that runs away.

Tutor

Parents pay good money to have their kids tutored, so take advantage of your know-how to help their kids succeed. Whether it’s tutoring an elementary school student with his or her reading, or helping a fellow classmate. Private tutors can expect to earn at least as much as babysitters, and can set their own schedule with their clients. You have to really enjoy helping others learn, in order to be a tutor, however.
