Jobs that only require 4-5 hours a week

Post by C is for »

The problem with this is there are jobs out there (I usually had 3 at once) but they're not best suited for a first-timer freshman.

TA: do you have to be used to college to grade religion papers? I don't know who you would talk to about that but it seems that it would be an option. I just don't know how those get assigned. (I realize many teachers choose their own, but probably not all care enough...I know my friend is teaching there for the first time and doesn't know enough students to choose them all)
If someone is really good at a class fall semester they could ask to be a TA for the class again...but I don't really see that happening either.

Ballet Pianist: If you're good at sight-reading, can learn to be intuitive about the kind of music they want, and can keep a beat, this is a great job that I never worked for more than 10 hours a week (and that was when I was really good and played for two classes). You get paid a lot better at UVU but they don't actually hire pianists.

Along those lines,
Accompanist: Unfortunately, I think the person would've mentioned if they could play the piano. But accompanying doesn't take too much time.

I think looking for gigs is a good idea. I also think that, even though you only need to make $100 a month, may as well sign up for a regular job and make more money! As long as your schedule permits.

Teaching English 150 only takes 4-5 hours most weeks. Okay, more like 5-6, but it's not bad.

Being a swimsuit model for the art department can actually be a 4-5 hour a week job if you want it to. It's very flexible - you just tell them what times you're available during the week and how much you want to work, and each week they call or email with you with a list of jobs. At least that's how it worked when I did it. And don't even worry if you don't have a perfect body. I'm not exactly skinny and I was an awesome model. Professors actually specifically requested me because they wanted their classes to be able learn to draw someone with a larger body type.
