Working part time to earn a little extra is very common amongst students. It has become very popular and helps in imbibing amongst the students the value of time and money at an early age. Someone has rightly said to teach them something catch them young. It also disciplines teenagers for a tougher life in future and teaches them to handle situations efficiently.

Vacations are the best time to get a part time job. The students are also free during that period and prefer to take up a job than to laze around and while away precious time. Often part time jobs act as a boon and can count for work experience while applying for jobs in future.

Part time jobs are available for all students from high school to the university level. The jobs do vary along with the time required, amount of remuneration etc. Teenagers often apply for such jobs and the job options are many. One can take up a job as a secret shopper, a baby sitter, at a movie theater, at a retail counter, and many more. Let's take a look at a few of them.



Babysitting

This is by far the most common and easy way of landing a job. This job is perennial and not just a summer job. Students generally prefer taking them up on the weekends. During vacations as there is less work pressure they can easily take up longer working hours in the evenings. This keeps them occupied and even serves as a source of some easy pocket money. Remuneration is on an hourly basis and can be agreed upon beforehand.

Camp Counselor

One job alternative which screams adventure and work at the same time is that of a camp counselor. The minimum age requirement is fifteen for one to apply for the post. It gives them a chance to explore the wild, develop their leadership qualities, build friendships and enjoy their vacations in the best possible manner. There they are responsible for the health and well being of each camper, taking part in all camp activities like campfire, hikes, song practice, talent shows etc. They are responsible for their fellow campers and such experiences build in them qualities of time management, coordination and leadership.

Casual Dining

During vacations all fast food joints, juice bars and pizza outlets are bursting with students and are over crowded all the time. This increases the opportunity of getting a part time job at such joints. Also since they are a favorite amongst students running into friends there is highly possible and this adds the much needed fun element to it. Remuneration is on hourly basis and working hours in shifts.

Secret Shopping or Mystery Shopper

This is also one of those jobs which can be taken up as per one's convenience. Here the secret shopper or the mystery shopper poses as a customer and secretly reports back to the owners as to how the service was, the quality of the product, the cleanliness in the restrooms, the service of the sales people etc. Students can take up such jobs for food joints, clothes stores, footwear etc. Options are many and the opportunities endless. The pay scale varies from company to company.

There are many other jobs which can be taken up viz. elder care, pet and house sitting, yard maintenance, retail, jobs at theme parks and many more. The salary ranges from $5 an hour and goes up to $20 per hour.
