Highest Paying Part-Time Jobs
Make the most of your part-time job hours.
Typically, part-time jobs are synonymous with low-paying jobs. When one hears the phrase, they think of a job that entails slinging burgers at minimum wage. However, that’s far from the case for many part-time job opportunities. You just have to know where to look. Fortunately, Monster and TIME has compiled some of the top highest paying part-time jobs. Start your job search in these places of employment to make your part-time work schedule pay off big time.

While the above are quintessential part-time jobs, there are also jobs for those with Associate’s, Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees that provide more of a part-time schedule. Furthermore, these are high-paying roles too. These part-time jobs start at $20 per hour and can go up as far as $47 per hour. The Bureau of Labor Statistics provides an analysis of those jobs that enable part-time workers to make the most of their flexible schedules. Dental hygienists, which only require an Associate’s degree, can make upwards of $33 per hour. Registered nurses that graduate with a Bachelor’s degree can make nearly $37 per hour. Finally, nurse practitioners with a Master’s degree can make over $47 per hour. A part-time job doesn’t have to mean grueling work in a fast food kitchen. Nor does it mean you’ll have to resign yourself to making minimum wage. Do a bit of research, and you can find high-paying part-time jobs in your area. What’s more, you can find them after college graduation too.
