What was your favorite part time job, and why? I'm considering picking up a third part time job, trying to make over $12 an hour.

My favorite was teaching little ones to swim at the local rec center. I was 14, though, and i became close friends with the other teen workers, so might be why. Also, swimsuits. Of course, the occassional child-vomit and diarrhea was not exactly great. Or the crying and uncooperative 3-5 year olds. The 8-12 year olds were pretty funny and easy to work with, though. Course, you have to get several certifications and take a swimming course and learn the different styles if you dont know them. Water Safety Instructors would make around $12/hr. Ow... Nostalgia.

Then Lifeguarding, which was actually kind of boring, but it wasnt bad.

Then, delivery driving, which was okay. Except at that point, i got tired of working around teenagers. Easy to get; easy to do; average around $15 an hour, with gas costs. Fucks your car up over a long period. All the starting and stopping and residential driving. But, you can make a good $15- $20 an hour.

Uber or Lyft, I do them and make way more than $12hr. Set your own hours and be your own boss

@CDKristiK: Ehhhh. How do they help get you into a newer car?

@IrretrievableObito: they have lease car programs and depending on how many rides you do they will cover all or part of the payment. Go online and check it out for yourself. Uber.com or Lyft.com for as little as $250 down. Or they can help get you set up to buy, your choice. Got any other questions you can message me

@WanabeKristi: Mm. Thanks, man. I'll definitely keep that in mind. My 2005 Honda with no A/C, in Texas, makes it tempting.

Gotta aim higher than that man...

@Tryingtofindabalance: Well I know I'm worth much more I'm worth like $25 or more an hour now. I have a master's and just am getting my full license in my field. But I have two part time jobs and they're both kinda stiffing me on hours. So while I continue applying for full time jobs getting paid what I'm worth, I'm not below working three part time jobs.

@GregCole626: sounds like you need to go after one decent job,not a bunch of unskilled labor jobs. Plenty of good paying jobs for folks with Masters degrees. $40k minimum.
