Just curious what's out there in the part time market. I'd love to find some kind of part time work in the IT field.

oh...IT field. I decided that there weren't any decent PT jobs in that market, so that's why I've been doing a lot more marketing jobs this last year. $15+ per hour...ain't great, but for the little amount of effort that the job requires, I'm not complaining.

I do some consulting on the side for various amounts of pay. Depending on what you do/know, you can get from $35 to $75 per hour.

I grade papers for lower-division Physics courses.

I grade for 13 hours/week at $10 per hour. This includes grading homework, grading exams, and proctoring exams.

Offer web hosting to the local market, about 5-10 hours a week.

VPS $50/mo offers 10GB/200GB split that into 100 web hosting packages (100MB/2GB) x $9.95/mo packages = $995.00/mo less expenses

It's not as easy as it looks, there's a lot of marketing/billing/support but after a few months you get the hang of it.

I work at a petshop and a pool. Petshop is more fun but only pays 6 bucks an hour compared to the pool which pays 8.

Damn, you guys have it easy, I get only $12/hr for working with C#, SQL, sockets, crystal reports and reporting services, as well as doing routine system installations and such. I suppose I should be grateful, it's better than working on campus, it pays only $7.xx per hour... greedy bastards.

I make around $700 week working 20-30 hours a week.

Some people I work with make $5-8k a month. They don't go to school and work a lot more than I do.

I am in sales by the way.

I work in a web development place part time as a "junior developer". You'd think it would suck, but since i'm "junior" i have little to no pressure on my back, not to mention I can come and go as I please and use school as an excuse. I average a solid 20 to 25 hours a week. I get $15 and am low pressure and usually spend half the time surfing the net. It's great for resume experience though, it's almost like an internship.

I referee hockey in the winter while I am going to school. Anywhere from 15 - 25 dollars per game. I used to work part time at a golf course for 15.50 an hour, but this past year I went full time.

I detail cars. Been doing it since high school, now i am in college

I make 10.75 an hour plus tips (not that much in tips).

Cars are detailed by appointments so i can schedule them to fit my schedule. My boss allows me to go in the shop late and do a car if i have to
