Part time job recommendations

Hello everyone ,

I am currently in Chicago and I am working as a teacher. However, I’ve discovered this may not be the route to allow me to make my best efforts for law school in studying for the LSAT. I’ve decided to quit because I am not happy. However, I’ve only been out of college for almost a year (graduated last spring ). I’m not sure what’s a good part time or even full time job for me to get that will allow me time to study . I’ve looked on indeed.com and other sites but it’s been so hard finding anything . If anyone has been down this road before or has any advice on what I can do to meet my financial requirements (basic bills such as phone, car note , and insurance) I would be so greatly. I know this is the right choice but if I can avoid stressing this entire time about money I know I can raise my score .

    Try the YMCA. Sometimes the hours can be flexible. You can make some money and still have time to study.

    If you don't mind the late nights, being a waiter is pretty good money (depending on restaurant type and some other variables). It sucks going home late but if you can snag a job at a place that only does dinner like I have, you can study in the morning/afternoon and go into work in the evening.

    "allow me time to study"
    How much time?

    " I can do to meet my financial requirements"
    Be specific about what your current bills are, and there is any room to bring those bills down.

    @10000019 well the bills are the same as I posted .. my car note , phone bill , and car insurance. So I basically already reduced as much as I can.

    @10000019 I’m thinking 25 hours a week though.

    I imagine as a teacher you would make a pretty good tutor and there has to be some demand for tutors either in high school or college classes in Chicago.

    I'm interested in the $$$ that you spend on those bills. Car bills can range from $100 to $1000! If you have serious bills, I don't think it would be a good idea to leave your job for a part time gig.

    I'm not sure about what it's like for you, but in my area teaching jobs are hard to get and have great benefits.

    I'm currently working as a pharmacy technician and studying around 3-3.5 hours a day. Average around 35 hours of work a week. Hours are flexible if you find a pharmacy that has a fair amount of employees already. Pharmacies near college campuses are generally more lenient with their schedules, since students are often employed.

    Maybe being a camp counselor, which would likely mean a limited number of weeks and not a huge amount of stress.
