There will always be students that need a tutor. For example, you can tutor students at your college in courses you’ve already aced or tutor younger students who need help with math, English , or other basic subjects.

You can tutor online , giving you access to students worldwide, or in-person at your local library or even at the students’ houses.

You can advertise your services with a flyer for local businesses or join sites like Tutorme.com and Care.com to advertise to a larger audience.

2. Social Media Manager

If you have a knack for social media, get paid to help companies manage their social media pages. It’s one of the most important pieces of any company’s marketing plan, but many don’t have the budget to hire someone full-time to do it or don’t understand it.

You can work as a freelance social media manager, working on your time and getting paid either a flat fee or a charge per hour.

Offer your services on sites like Upwork or Fiverr and market to companies that need a good social media manager.

Fiverr is one of the top platforms for finding freelance gigs for around the world. Sign up now for free!

3. Note-Taker

Believe it or not, you can make money selling your class notes. Unfortunately, some students just don’t have what it takes to take good notes and then do poorly on the tests.

If you’re a master note taker, consider uploading them to sites like Stuvia, StudySoup, or OneClass and getting paid for them.

4. Answer Surveys Online

Survey sites are a great way to make a little money in your free time. You don’t have to worry about meeting deadlines or fitting large projects into your schedule.

With online surveys, you download an app, create a profile and if you have time, accept the survey offers. Depending on the time they take, you’ll make $1 to $20 per survey, and several sites offer sign-up bonuses.

Popular, high-paying sites include:

• Branded Surveys
• Survey Junkie

Swagbucks - Easy Online Rewards & Surveys

Sign Up Bonus: $10

Swagbucks is a legit money-making app where you can make money taking surveys, watching videos, playing games, and more.

5. Product Testing and Reviewing

You might not make money as a product tester and reviewer, but you can try (and keep) free products.

Companies pay people to try their products before they hit the public market to get feedback and ensure there aren’t any problems with them.

Toluna , MyPoints , and Swagbucks all offer product testing on occasion.

MyPoints pays you when you shop online at your favorite retailers and delivers the rewards through free gift cards.

6. Freelance Writer

Just as businesses need a good website, that website needs good content. So if you have a way with words, consider making money as a freelance writer.

You can write website content, blogs, articles, white papers, and e-books. Most freelance writers work as ghostwriters, so they don’t get the credit or byline on the content, but you can earn good money doing it.

Advertise your services on a marketplace like Fiverr, and be sure to have a portfolio to show your skills.

7. Virtual Assistant

A virtual assistant can do just about anything for a company. For example, you can answer their emails, do their bookkeeping, or do any other necessary tasks.

You can charge per hour or a flat monthly fee for the work you’ll do. Make sure to outline which tasks and how many hours a week or month you can dedicate as a personal assistant working around your school schedule.

Price: $9.95 w/ 30-day Money-Back Guarantee

FlexJobs is the largest site for finding remote, work-from-home jobs, both full-time and part-time for your skillset. The trained researchers at FlexJobs hand-screen job listings to eliminate ads and scams found on other sites. Find everything from entry-level to executive positions at FlexJobs.

8. Online Personal Trainer or Fitness Coach

If you love fitness and health, consider helping others who don’t get it or don’t have the motivation.

You can work online, coaching your clients in your free time. However, it’s best to get certified in personal training, so you have credentials to share with clients, making them more comfortable working with you.

You decide what services you want to offer, how often you’ll see clients, and what you’ll charge. For example, if you only provide fitness training, you’ll likely meet once a week, but if you also provide health or nutrition coaching, you may meet more often.

The nice thing is you can offer your services online, giving you access to a larger audience.

9. T-Shirt and Merchandise Designer

If you have a great t-shirt design, consider marketing it using sites like Tee Spring or any other print-on-demand site. You don’t have to carry any inventory. After you create the design, you upload it to Tee Spring , and when someone orders a shirt, they print and ship it. They even handle customer service.

You earn a percentage of the cost of creating one design. Once you build an audience, you can keep creating designs and making more money.

10. Sell Clothes Online

Don’t let old clothes collect dust and go out of style. Instead, hop on sites like Facebook Marketplace, eBay, and Poshmark and sell them .

If you have name-brand clothes, you might make a good percentage of the original price back.

11. Data Entry

If you can type fast and want a somewhat mindless side gig, offer data entry services .

Companies always need someone to enter data into their systems accurately. It’s how they run reports and make important business decisions, so you’d hold an important role in their business.

12. Web Developer or Designer

Today, all businesses need a website to succeed, but many don’t have the capability of creating one. Some companies have a website, but it’s designed poorly and doesn’t help their business.

If you’re majoring in web development or design, consider putting your knowledge to good use to earn money. You can design new websites, revamp existing websites, or a combination of both.

It’s best to create a portfolio of your previous work so companies can determine if your skills fit their needs.

Some companies may even hire you long-term to maintain their website. If that happens, you can create monthly packages to help companies stay on top of their web design.

13. Etsy Seller

If you’re crafty, consider selling your creations on Etsy . You can create your own ‘store’ on Etsy and sell your items. Even if you aren’t crafty but are good with graphic design, you can also sell digital items on Etsy.

Like most sites, they take a percentage of your earnings, so price your items accordingly.

14. Online Retail Arbitrage

Do you love finding deals? What if you could sell those items online for a markup? You would get paid to shop. For many college students, this is a thrill and a great way to make money, especially if you find hot items on a great deal.

Sell your items on eBay, Amazon, or Facebook Marketplace and pocket the profits for your efforts.

15. Textbook Flipper

If you know where to get textbooks for a deal, you can sell them for a higher price and make a profit online. This is like retail arbitrage, except your target audience is college students who don’t want to pay retail prices for their textbooks.

16. Proofreader & Editor

If you have a great grasp of the English language and don’t mind correcting written content, you can make money as a proofreader .

Businesses pay proofreaders to ensure their content is error-free and sounds good. They don’t want to make a mistake or sound unprofessional as it could hurt their business.

This is another great gig to advertise on Fiverr or Upwork.

17. Freelance Copywriter

Many companies need sales content or copywriting. This is different than freelance writing. It’s sales copy that persuades or encourages someone to buy a product or service.

You might write website content, sales pages, flyers, or product descriptions. If you have experience in copywriting from school or a business, use the content as your portfolio to get more clients.

18. Freelance Video Editor

You’ve likely seen video bloopers from companies that show them on their social media pages for fun. But, unfortunately, those bloopers you see are just a fraction of the work behind the scenes to edit videos.

Many small companies don’t have the time or capital to hire someone full-time to handle video editing, so they hire freelancers to do it.

If you have good video editing skills, offer your services to local companies or advertise yourself on a gig marketplace.

As a video editor, you’ll cut scenes, add music, create stories, and ensure the video gives the right message.

19. SEO Specialist

If you understand how SEO works and love doing the research to find keywords, optimize links, and website content, offer your services as an SEO specialist.

You’ll likely start on sites like Fiverr or Upwork to build a portfolio and get people to trust you, but once you prove you’re good at it, word-of-mouth can help you get more business.

SEO specialists charge either a flat fee for the services or per hour worked, with most charging $20 to $30 per hour.

20. Voiceover Artist

If you have one of those voices everyone loves to listen to, consider working as a voiceover artist. You can work whenever you are available and from your apartment as long as you have the recording software.

You can work for companies, schools, and medical facilities, creating commercials, reading books, or creating how-to videos.

21. Audio Transcriber

Transcribing is a great way for college students to make money online. As long as you have good attention to detail, can listen carefully, and type fast, you can make money transcribing.

Companies use transcribers to create subtitles, closed captioning, or to have a written version of a video or podcast.

Rev and TranscribeMe are two popular sites that hire college students for freelance transcribing.

22. Stock Photographer

If you don’t have the time to work as a professional photographer in person, consider selling your photos online on sites like Shutterstock or Foap. You take a picture once, upload it to the site and leverage the large audience.

Each time someone buys your picture, you earn a percentage of the commission, with the other funds going to the site that hosts your picture. In addition, you don’t have to do any work because the buyer prints the picture using their favorite medium.

23. Freelance Bookkeeping

If you’re majoring in accounting, offer basic bookkeeping services to small businesses. Not everyone was cut out to do bookkeeping, so companies gladly pay someone to check their work or do everything for them.

You can offer monthly packages to companies or work for one company, handling all their books.

24. Website and App Tester

If you love finding out what’s wrong with a website or app, get paid for it — sites like UserTesting pay you to test websites and apps and report what you found.

Typically, you earn $10 per test, but if you do a handful a week, your earnings can add up nicely.

25. Freelance Computer Programmer or Developer

Computer programming is a special skill that most business owners don’t have. If you understand coding and programming, offer your services to local businesses. You can advertise your services to local businesses or start a gig online on Fiverr.

Because computer programming is highly specialized and companies need it, you can easily charge good money for your services.

26. Graphic Designer

If you’re in school for graphic design, use the skills you’ve already learned to earn money. For example, you can design t-shirts, flyers, webpages, business cards, and banners, to name a few items.

To make money as a graphic designer, create a  website showcasing your previous work to attract more customers. You can use Fiverr and Upwork to market your services, but remember, they take a portion of your earnings to cover the cost of the administrative and advertising work they offer.

27. Resume Writer

If you know the latest resume trends and write well, you can help thousands of people looking for a job.

Not everyone has good writing skills or knows how to put together a resume. However, they’ll gladly pay you $75+ to create their resume or edit an existing resume.

If you have a passion for writing resumes, spread the word. You might be surprised at how many people you know need your services.

28. Micro-Freelancer

There are many micro-tasks you can do. The idea started with Fiverr, when sellers could charge only $5 for their services. Since then, Fiverr has changed, but the micro-tasks are still available.

Think of anything you’d do for $5 and advertise it on Fiverr.

Every dollar adds up, so don’t think it’s not enough when you only make a few dollars.

29. PowerPoint Presentation Designer

If you love PowerPoint, advertise your services on sites like Fiverr. Just like videos, companies need PowerPoint presentations often, but they may not have the skill to make a profound slideshow.

You can edit the slides they already made or start from scratch, adding music and special touches to make their slideshow unique.

30. Virtual Recruiter

If you love matching people with jobs, consider a job as a virtual recruiter. You’d have to work with a specific staffing agency that allows you to work from home, matching candidates with jobs.

You can make $25 an hour or more as a contractor and only work when you have free time from your classes.

31. Virtual Stylist

Do your friends and family come to you for fashion advice? Consider getting paid for your skill by helping people online choose the right clothing.

You can start your own consultant gig or work as a stylist for companies like StitchFix or Rocks Box.

32. Book Reviewer

If you love to read, get paid for it. Publishers pay people to read books and provide their reviews. Booklist Online and Publisher’s Weekly are two great sites to try.

Of course, you won’t make much money reviewing books, but you get the books for free and get paid for your time, so it’s a fun gig if you love reading.

33. Amazon Seller

If you have an inventory of items to sell, consider Amazon’s FBA program. First, you ship your items to them, and they hold them. Then, you market your products on Amazon , and when they sell, Amazon handles the order and customer service.

Amazon charges fees for its FBA program, so if you have a small inventory and room to store it, you can also handle order fulfillment and customer service to make more money.

34. Translator

If you’re bilingual, you can make money helping companies translate documents or individuals who need documents to send to their home country. You may translate audio or written content, so you’d need good grammar skills and the ability to type fast.

You can advertise your services on Upwork or Fiverr to find clients who need your services.

35. Twitch Streamer

Believe it or not, you can get paid to play games .

Some sites like Mistplay pay you the longer you play or the higher you get in a specific game, and you can also earn money creating a Twitch channel and streaming your game playing. Streaming gaming makes you money when you have a large enough audience that you can monetize your channel with merchandise and ads.

36. Music Production

The sky’s the limit with music production. You can create (and sign) your own songs, write songs, or edit the final product. This gig works best with word of mouth.

Publish your music on YouTube or your social media pages; if it’s good, word will spread fast.

37. Search Engine Evaluator

You might not realize it, but thousands of people behind Google are making the results perfect. Sometimes, though, their results are off, so they pay people to evaluate the search engine results.

It’s a research-heavy job, but you can do it in your free time, and it helps you put your research skills to the test. The most popular site to apply to be a search engine evaluator is Lionbridge .

38. Freelance Podcast Editor

Podcasts are becoming increasingly popular for businesses of all sizes. But like videos, they need editing too because they have mistakes or excessive content that needs editing.

You might add music, create breaks to break the content up, and make sure the podcast sounds good. Companies can hire you on a per podcast basis, or you can set up a monthly package to help companies with their podcasts regularly.

Can You Get an Online Job as a College Student?

You can get jobs online as a college student as long as you have a computer and a good internet connection.

Most jobs are freelance jobs, which work great for college students with busy schedules. You work when you’re available and can even set your own prices.

Some online jobs pay extremely well, and other college side hustles make enough for a night out or a few Starbucks coffees.

What’s the Earning Potential?

The amount of money you make in online jobs depends on what you do and how much time you have to dedicate to the online job. Jobs with a company or even some gigs on Fiverr can earn you a full-time income.

And while some online jobs only earn you a few dollars at a time, if you diversify your efforts, those little earnings add up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do online student freelancers get paid.

Online student freelancers can get paid via PayPal, Venmo, or even a check sent to their homes. If you use a site like Fiverr, they handle payment, and you can transfer your earnings to your PayPal account anytime.

The key is to get paid upfront or have a contract to ensure you don’t get scammed out of any earnings if you don’t use a site like Fiverr.

Do online student freelancers pay taxes?

All freelancers must pay taxes on their earnings. If you receive a 1099, you report the earnings from the document. But, even if you don’t, you must keep track of your earnings and report them on your taxes.

How much do I need to work online to make decent money as a student?

Each freelance job takes a different amount of time to make money. Some are paid hourly, while others are a flat fee. Typically, college students spend 10 to 15 hours a week on odd jobs to make good money.

Do I need special skills to work online as a student?

You don’t need special skills to make money from online jobs. For college students, it’s best to use their current passions and skills to make money. Think about what you love and are good at, and chances are there is a job you can do.

How can I land my first online job as a student with no experience?

Start your own freelance gig on sites like Fiverr or Upwork to build experience and get your name out there. Then, as you build a portfolio and word-of-mouth happens, you’ll build a larger clientele.

How can I manage my time for a side hustle while in college?

Time management is a life skill, so choose an online job that allows you to manage your time properly. Don’t overburden yourself, but also don’t cut yourself short. Find pockets of time that you just sit around, and turn that into work time, so you don’t cut into homework or studying time.

When finding suitable job opportunities, students often face the challenge of balancing work and studies. Online work offers the perfect solution, providing students with flexibility, convenience, and the ability to earn money while maintaining academic commitments. Here are the key reasons why online work is an excellent option for students:

1. Flexibility

Unlike traditional part-time jobs requiring fixed schedules, online jobs allow students to choose when and where to work. This flexibility enables them to accommodate their classes, exams, and other academic commitments without overwhelming their schedules. Students can set their work hours, ensuring a healthy work-life balance.

2. Convenience

With online, students can say goodbye to long commutes and time-consuming trips to the office. Instead, they can work from the comfort of their homes, dorm rooms, or local coffee shops. This convenience saves time and energy, allowing students to utilize their resources effectively and focus on their studies.

3. Balance Work and Studies

Online allows students to earn money while devoting ample time to their academic pursuits. Whether completing assignments, studying for exams, or participating in group projects, online jobs allow students to manage their workload effectively. This balance ensures they can excel academically while gaining practical work experience.

By choosing online jobs, students can reap the benefits of flexible schedules, convenient locations, and the ability to juggle work and studies harmoniously. The table below illustrates the advantages of online jobs for students:

Types of Online Work for Students

Whether you’re looking for part-time jobs, remote work, internships, freelance gigs, or virtual job opportunities, there is something for everyone. Let’s explore the different types of online jobs that are ideal for students:

1. Part-time Jobs

Part-time jobs are popular for students who want to earn money while managing their studies. These jobs often offer flexible schedules and can be done remotely, making them convenient for students.

Benefits of Online Work for Students

Online offers students numerous advantages, providing flexible work options that align with their academic commitments. Let’s explore some of the critical benefits that online work can offer to students:

Flexibility

One of the most significant advantages of online for students is its flexibility. Unlike traditional part-time jobs, online jobs allow students to choose their hours and determine when they work. This flexibility enables students to balance their work and study commitments more effectively, ensuring they can dedicate sufficient time to both.

Self-Management Skills

Engaging in online cultivates essential self-management skills in students. Students must develop discipline, time management, and organizational skills to succeed online. These skills contribute to their success in online work and translate to their academic pursuits, preparing them for future professional endeavors.

Increased Earnings Potential

Online work offers students the opportunity to increase their earnings potential beyond what traditional part-time jobs may provide. Online allows students to explore various options, such as freelance projects or remote internships, often offering higher hourly rates or more significant project-based compensation.

Industry Experience

Engaging in online work allows students to gain valuable industry experience while still studying.

When it comes to college life, students often face the challenge of managing their finances while juggling their studies and other commitments. However, with the rise of online opportunities, students can achieve financial independence and take control of their financial situation.

As students navigate the world of remote work, they can enhance their communication skills, time management abilities, problem-solving aptitude, teamwork capabilities, and independent learning.

Communication Skills

“Effective communication is the key to success.” Online jobs offer the perfect platform for students to hone this essential skill. Whether through written communication in emails, chats, project management tools, or verbal communication during virtual meetings and conference calls, students can articulate their ideas, collaborate with team members, and express themselves clearly.

This fosters their problem-solving skills, which are crucial in academic and professional settings.

“Teamwork makes the dream work.” Engaging in online work allows students to collaborate with individuals from different backgrounds, cultures, and time zones. Through virtual teamwork, students learn to share responsibilities, work collaboratively towards common goals, and adapt to diverse perspectives. Developing strong teamwork skills enhances students’ ability to work in a team and prepares them for future professional collaborations.

Independent Learning

“Knowledge is power.” Online work encourages students to take ownership of their learning and seek knowledge independently. With access to a wealth of information online, students can explore new concepts, acquire new skills, and stay updated with the latest industry trends. Developing a passion for independent learning fosters intellectual curiosity and equips them with lifelong learning skills.

By engaging in online work opportunities, students not only earn money and gain work experience but also develop these essential transferable skills that are highly valued in the job market. These skills benefit students academically and empower them to succeed in their future careers.

Additionally, online work allows students to network with professionals and industry experts. Through virtual collaborations, students can connect with mentors, gain valuable insights, and build relationships that can potentially lead to future job opportunities. The online work environment promotes communication and collaboration, allowing students to engage with professionals worldwide.

Furthermore, gaining industry experience through online work showcases dedication, initiative, and the ability to work independently. Employers value these skills in today’s competitive job market, and having online work experience on their resumes can give students a competitive edge.

28 Legitimate Online Jobs

With the number of online job options, it’s hard to know which ones are legitimate and which ones aren’t worth your time. This list covers some of the most popular and potentially lucrative choices.

Most of the jobs in this entire list are suitable for anyone, but I’ve divided them into categories for students, moms, kids, and teachers for easy sorting. This first list is best for anyone simply because there’s such a wide variety of successful people working these online jobs, and they don’t require any special degrees or certifications.

1. Product tester

Pay: $5 to $15 per hour

Product testing is a fun online job that allows you to make money working with products that you already want or need. As a paid product tester, you can test and review both physical and digital products.

Product testing opportunities periodically arise on Swagbucks Discover ; checking in on both platforms from time to time will maximize the odds you’re eligible for an offer. Once you receive and test a product, you’ll follow the instructions and complete a survey [or similar task] to provide your insights and feedback.

You’ll be paid in cash, gift cards, or get to keep the product you’ve tested. This isn’t a full-time online job opportunity, but it can make a good side hustle.

2. Online seller

Pay: $40 to $60 on average per box of items

You can sell almost anything online. Furniture, unused makeup, old cell phones, and other tech are all viable options.

If you have children, you can easily sell their gently used shoes, clothes, toys, and gadgets once they’ve outgrown them. If you enjoy this type of online job, you can start scouting local yard sales, flea markets, and Facebook selling groups for items to resell.

When you find a used item at a steep discount, you can sell it on a site like Decluttr to flip for a profit. The more often you do this, the more money you can earn.

Pay: $1 to $2,000+ per month

Blogging is an online job where you can make money on a part-time schedule. If you enjoy writing and helping others, and you know how to be persistent even if you’re not making money, blogging might be a good fit for you. It usually takes at least 6 to 18 months to start making money from a blog .

The fun thing about blogging as an online job is that you can choose a topic you’re truly passionate about, and the opportunities from blogging are virtually limitless.

The four main ways to make money from blogging include:

• Advertising – You get paid for putting ads on your blog.
• Affiliate Marketing – This is where you get paid a commission for any products that you sell via your blog.
• Digital Products – You can sell your own eBooks, courses, etc.
• Services – If you like to work one on one with people, a blog can be a great way to generate leads for coaching, consulting, etc.

Recommendation: HostGator is one of the most affordable options to get a money-making blog up and running. It makes it simple and easy to get started (and have everything you need all in one place), which is why it’s a great option for new bloggers.

4. Facebook ads manager

Pay: $1,000 to $2,000+ per month

Many local business owners know they need to advertise online, but they don’t know how or don’t have enough employees to work on it. If you have Facebook and are familiar with its advertising platform, or if you’re willing to put in the time to learn, you can start contacting local businesses to offer Facebook ad services .

That’s what Bobby Hoyt did. An avid digital marketer and blogger, he started offering Facebook ad management services to local businesses in his area and eventually turned that operation into a sizable income for himself. He launched his own FB Side Hustle Course that teaches others how to do the same. You can do this as a side hustle or turn it into a full-time job.

5. Transcriber

Pay: $10 to $36 per hour

Transcription services are in high demand and have a low barrier to entry. Even if you have no experience transcribing, you can still find work.

There are many large companies that hire transcribers , but the pay is generally low. For instance, Scribie.com pays $5 to $25 per audio hour and TranscribeMe.com pays $15 per audio hour.

As you gain experience, you can look for sites that pay more. These companies are a bit harder to get accepted into but are worth the wait:

• Rev.com ($24 to $39/audio hour)
• GoTranscript.com ($36/audio hour)
• Speechpad.com ($24/audio hour)

You can take a free mini-course on transcription to see if this online job is right for you.

6. Dropshipper

Pay: $25 to $500+ per item sold

With dropshipping, you set up a storefront on a platform like Shopify , list your products, and then have the orders shipped directly to a customer from the supplier.

This is an amazing option for anyone looking for an online job because it allows you to work in sales without touching the physical product during a transaction and earn a good income at the same time.

You can sell anything from T-shirts to event tickets and consulting services, so this is an incredibly flexible online job.

Though the profit margin of dropshipping isn’t as high as when stocking and shipping your own physical products, the benefits of a completely hands-off method make it worthwhile.

Online jobs for students

These online jobs for college students provide flexible options and offer a balance between concentrating on your studies while earning some extra cash.

7. Online personal trainer

Pay: $30 to $50 a session

If you love working out and teaching others, becoming an online personal trainer can be a fun side hustle. Plus, you can keep these clients even after you graduate.

You can offer virtual sessions via Zoom or FaceTime and create a YouTube channel with free workouts that show off your work to potential clients. Some trainers will also create meal plans for their customers.

8. Online beauty advisor

Pay: Varies; depends on the referral program

If you’re constantly getting compliments on your makeup or love talking about skincare products, then consider making money with this skill as an online beauty advisor. You’ll get paid when someone purchases the beauty products you recommend.

Here’s how it works. Let’s say you have a YouTube channel or social media account where you recommend certain products. You use your specific referral or affiliate code when linking to these products. When someone buys that product using your link, you get a percentage of how much they spent.

You can also take on virtual clients for one-on-one consulting .

9. Freelance writer

Pay: $50 to $500+ per article

If you love writing and can find clients that need content, then becoming a freelance writer may be a good online job for you.

It’s ok to start on a platform like Fiverr or FreelanceWriting.com, but you won’t find high-paying freelance writing jobs on these sites. To earn a decent income, you’ll need to work directly with websites, companies, or online magazines.

You can also search for clients by connecting with blog owners, local businesses, and local newspapers who might need writers. Another way to find jobs is to join writing Facebook groups. The competition can be fierce, but you’ll do well if you’re persistent and want to improve.

Once you’ve established a solid portfolio, client roster, and testimonials, you can raise your prices.

10. Proofreader

Pay: $10 to $45 per hour

There are many online jobs for college students that allow you to make money proofreading , but you shouldn’t overlook the opportunities on campus.

Consider seeking out fellow students who could use a proofreader before turning in their next paper.

Proofreading is less in-depth than editing. Rather than making extensive corrections and suggestions, you work as a second set of eyes, looking for typos, spelling errors, and other minor issues to clean up their papers before they’re submitted for grading.

Caitlin Pyle, the creator of Proofread Anywhere, offers a free 76-minute webinar explaining what it takes to make money proofreading.

11. Textbook seller

Pay: 15% to 50% per book sold

Students are perfect candidates for book scouting or selling textbooks online. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of students on college campuses who have no interest in reselling their own textbooks.

You can take advantage of their lack of time or motivation and offer to sell those books for your friends on a site like BookScouter . Negotiate a selling price, along with the fee you get per book, and do the work for them. As time allows, you can even scout online book prices and buy/sell during the prime textbook season (before the start of each new semester).

12. Social media manager

Pay: $15 to $40 per hour

If you’re an avid social media user, you can put your skills and time to good use by starting an online job as a social media manager .

Managing a business’s social media is similar to managing your own Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. In order to be visible and well-known on social media, you have to be not just active, but interactive. When someone posts a comment or private messages you, you need to reply quickly.

Businesses often fail at social media because they don’t have someone dedicated to staying active on various social media platforms. They often don’t have staff available to respond to comments, create new and engaging posts, or monitor conversations within their communities.

Local businesses offer prime opportunities for finding an online job as a social media manager. You can send an email, but it may be good to call or visit local businesses or introduce yourself through their social media pages as a college student looking to help.

Some businesses won’t be interested, while others may jump on the opportunity to get more exposure online.

13. Consignor

Pay: 40% to 60% per item sold

Most people have stuff that they no longer need, but rarely take the time to sell it to make extra cash. Instead, they donate or trash it.

When you start an online consignment business , you work as a middleman between people looking to sell their stuff and customers wanting to buy it. You can get started by offering to consign items for other students and sell them online for cash. There’s little inventory involved, and you only make money when you make a sale.

Install selling apps like thredUP or eBay on your smartphone, and keep a good record of consignees and their contact information. If something doesn’t sell, simply return it to them or have them sign a waiver to donate the item to a local charity once the listing has expired. You should also have in writing your commission if the item does sell.

Thanks to smartphones and selling apps , it’s much easier to consign for friends and family than it was even a few years ago.

14. Data entry specialist

Pay: $10 to $17 per hour

Data entry jobs are legit options for college students, but you should think carefully before applying. They’re easy, but they tend to pay less and require more time than other options.

The best thing about data entry jobs is that the work is flexible and can be done in your spare time. You can take on as much or as little work as needed depending on your schedule.

If you’re interested in finding a data entry job, start with a platform like Clickworker or DionData Solutions.

Online jobs for moms

If you’re looking for online jobs that are perfect for moms, consider some of these options. Keep in mind that any of the work-from-home jobs can be tweaked to work for you as well.

15. Subscription box creator

Pay: Depends on the box and your profit margin

If you have a great idea for a subscription box, you can turn it into reality with CrateJoy. This service lets you build your subscription box service without actually keeping the inventory yourself. You design, market, and promote the boxes without having to turn your garage into a subscription box warehouse.

This can be a fun way to explore having your own online business without needing an influx of capital and a lot of space.

16. Virtual assistant

Pay: $19 to $25 per hour

Becoming a virtual assistant to an already established online business is one of the best online jobs to try, and you can start almost immediately.

Virtual assistants often handle things like scheduling, customer support, administrative assistance, email marketing, social media posting, blog management, and much more.

You can offer whatever services you feel comfortable doing, and you can add more to your menu of services as you gain experience. Or, if you prefer, you can specialize in just one or two areas.

Reach out to small business owners and online entrepreneurs, or connect with other VAs in Facebook groups. They might have leads for your first few clients or tips on how to maximize your earnings.

Once you’ve built your client list, you may find that you’ve maxed out your schedule while making a great hourly wage. 

17. Graphic designer

Pay: $25 to $50 per hour

You don’t need an art degree to become a graphic designer . There are online jobs that require graphic design skills for projects like creating printable sheets, flyers, announcements, ads, or Pinterest images.

If you have an eye for design and know how to use tools like Canva or PicMonkey, there’s an online job waiting for you. Creating beautiful Pinterest and other social media images is in high demand among bloggers and website owners and can help almost any business attract fresh traffic to its website.

18. Niche website creator

Pay: $100 to $10,000+ per site

If you’re well-versed in search engine optimization (SEO) and understand how to get a site ranked on the first page of Google, you could make money creating niche websites. From hiking and mountain climbing to babyrearing, there’s no limit when choosing a topic.

A niche website isn’t like a typical blog where you have to add fresh content weekly. Instead, you set up a few landing pages that sell affiliate products in a single niche. There’s no guarantee that a certain niche will be profitable, but you can start brainstorming topics that you think are being underserved.

After you’ve built the site and made it profitable, you can keep it to earn passive income or sell the site on a marketplace like Flippa.com .

Setting up a niche site is similar to establishing a regular blog. If you know how to do that, you can get started creating your niche site right away.

19. Website designer

Pay: $20 to $100 per hour

It’s possible to learn how to design blogs and e-commerce websites without any formal training thanks to drag-and-drop builders that easily integrate with platforms like Shopify. If you’re technically inclined and can spot the differences between a good-looking website and a bad one, you might be able to start designing and building websites for others.

Designing websites doesn’t mean you need to reinvent the internet or create complex-looking websites. It means you need to know what looks good, is user-friendly, and meets your clients’ needs.

Although it’s a simple process, many people are overwhelmed by the thought of creating their own website, and it’s a gap you can fill while earning a good income.

20. Social media influencer

If you like sharing your favorite deals, books, clothes, and other products on social media and have built a loyal following, you can find work as a social media influencer. With this job, companies will pay you to promote their products to your audience, and you’ll earn a percentage of the sales they make from your affiliate or referral links.

It doesn’t take much to become a social media influencer if you choose a niche that’s profitable and one you’re passionate about it. You’ll need to post on your social media channels consistently and engage with your followers to grow your influence and your income.

There are companies like the Amazon Influencer Program and ShopStyle.com that allow you to post paid links on your profile.

21. Amazon seller

Pay: $15 to $100+ per hour

Everyone shops on Amazon these days, which is why you can make a good income through Amazon as well.

The concept of Amazon arbitrage is simple, but the process can be tedious. You find discounted physical products at your local stores and sell them at a profit on Amazon.

Though it sounds easy, your profits can quickly decrease due to Amazon’s sellers’ fees, shipping expenses, and time spent. However, if you already spend time thrift store shopping or bargain hunting, then this online job might be for you.

22. Budgeter / bookkeeper

Pay: $20 to $60 per hour

Budgeting and bookkeeping are similar, though budgeting relates more to individuals and bookkeeping to businesses.

If you’ve successfully created, managed, and stuck to a budget in your own life and are willing to share your methods with other families, consider marketing your budgeting consulting services on Fiverr, social media, or your own website.

If you like organizing finances for businesses, consider working as a bookkeeper.

As a bookkeeper, you’ll work with businesses on keeping their financial matters in order. You may record income and expenses, prepare financial reports, create and send invoices, and collect payments from clients. You can do this either by hand or using bookkeeping software. It’s flexible enough that you can work from home for local or online businesses. Taking a class online will help you gather the basics and learn how to pitch to clients. 

You can additionally market your services by joining Facebook groups or visiting local businesses in person. Facebook ads would be a great way to advertise what you offer as well, and it adds another skill to your resume.

24. Course creator

Pay: 30% to 70% of the purchase price

While you don’t have to be a teacher to create an online course , it’s a great option for teachers to earn extra income. You can create a course in any topic you know well; it doesn’t have to be in a subject you teach at your day job. If you want to create a course teaching students how to knit a sweater or plant a garden, you can.

“How-to” courses are the simplest way to start because they walk students through a series of steps in an easy-to-follow way. You can create short, easy-to-edit videos for each step and put them together in one complete package to sell on a platform like Outschool . 

Unlike other platforms like Udemy or Teachable, Outschool is geared toward K-12 learners and you can create individual lessons, courses, and even summer camps for students. You can choose how many students you teach at once, the price of your lessons, and the class schedule. Its flexibility makes it a great platform for anyone 18 years of age or older who can pass a background check and who enjoys teaching kids.

After publishing your course, take the time to create a marketing strategy and connect with affiliate partners to sell your course and earn residual income.

25. Pick up online gigs for teachers

Pay: $10 to $20+ per hour

If you’re looking for side jobs to fit with your daily teaching schedule, consider picking up gigs that are specifically designed for teachers. You can set up an account with GigEd.co and TeacherEd.co to find jobs that interest you.

Easy online jobs for teens

There are some online jobs that are perfect for teens who want to make extra money or save toward a car or college and don’t have the time to commit to a more traditional, in-person gig.

26. Photographer

Pay: 15% to 45% of every image copy sold

If your teenager has a talent for photography, they might be able to make some cash selling pictures, taking senior shots, family portraits, or even wedding photos. There are also many places to sell photos online that can bring in some passive income .

They may not even need to buy professional equipment. There are plenty of sites they can use to make money taking pictures with their smartphones.

27. YouTube channel creator

Pay: $0 to $2,000 per month

Kids making videos on YouTube is a huge industry right now. Ryan, the star of Ryan’s World, made $22 million in revenue in one year . With the help of his mom and dad, his channel became popular with kids everywhere.

            View this post on Instagram                     The internet has made alternate income (side hustle) opportunities so accessible. ⁣ ⁣ There are so many options out there for making extra money nowadays and YouTube is becoming one of the most popular. 📺⁣ ⁣ 𝗣.𝗦. DollarSprout even has a YouTube channel! You should check it out if you haven’t already. 😉 A post shared by DollarSprout Personal Finance (@dollarsprout) on Nov 5, 2019 at 3:26pm PST

Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as recording a video, uploading it to YouTube, and watching the money roll in. YouTube made some changes to its minimum subscriber and view requirements before a channel can start making money. Once those minimums are met, then you can place ads on the videos to create an income stream. That’s why promoting your YouTube channel on other platforms is also important.

If your kids are driven and ready to be in front of a camera, then they might love the idea of making a profitable YouTube channel . You most likely won’t earn the same amount of money as Ryan’s World, but you can earn something.

28. Amazon eBook publisher

Pay: Up to 70% of each copy sold

Publishing a book on Amazon Kindle is easy and simple, but it’s not a guaranteed way to make a lot of money. The books need to be well-written, edited, have a catchy cover, and have a clear marketing strategy. However, if you have a good idea, eBooks provide a way for your aspiring writer or illustrator to start earning some income.

If your teen has a talent for writing stories or drawing cartoons or picture books, you can help them start creating and uploading books to sell . This may be a fun way for them to earn money with their creativity.

Find Something You Like and Run With It

If you’re interested in earning money online , there are plenty of options. To find the right one, brainstorm and think about your hobbies, skills, and talents and pick one that works with those. If you can’t find an existing job, you can even create one.

The best part about online jobs is that you can make good money from home by doing more than one gig or job at a time. If you want to have a blog and tutor, or you want to have an Etsy store and a YouTube channel and can fit it all into your schedule, you can. The more you can do to maximize your income to achieve your financial goals, the better you’ll be in the long run.

18 Best Online Jobs for Students to Earn Money at Home

Online jobs for students.

I loved going to college but no one talks about all the downtime you have when you’re not in class.

For people like me who want to work, you’ve hit a gold mine, because I’m going to show you the best part-time online jobs for college students to earn money.

I wish I had this list when I was in college.

Thanks to the advancements in technology there are many online jobs for students to earn money that can be done in the comfort of your own dorm, apartment, or wherever you live and on your own schedule!

I’ve updated this list with my top 5 online jobs for students in this video here. These jobs are where you are going to be able to make the most money, especially #1. These jobs are NOT listed in this article.

Holding a part-time job in college is great for many reasons. It will keep money in your pocket, help offset the high costs of school , and help keep you on the straight and narrow (hopefully).

I write a lot about stay at home mom jobs and ways you can make money from home  and many of those same online jobs will work for students as well.

Everything I post works, hence the name “Tried and True”.

This list is primarily for college students, but there are many online jobs for high school students that will work as well.

If you have a car and want to make some extra money delivering food or groceries, check out my article on the only delivery driving companies I recommend.

Also, be sure to consider becoming a Notary Loan Signing Agent. This will require driving to different locations, but it is a great way to earn extra money.

You can see how John Flick earns $5k-$7K per month only working 3-4 days a week and how you can too in my How to become a loan signing agent article.

Freelancing Remote Jobs for Students

Freelancing is one of the best jobs for students because you choose what service you want to provide, which clients you want to work with and you make your own schedule. Here is a list of freelance jobs for college students that you can start today.

1. Freelance Content Creator

This is a GREAT online job for students because I met a mom who does this and she makes so much money that she was able to retire her husband from his job! If she can do it with kids on the side then you definitely can with your school schedule. 

Most people have no idea that this niche exists or that there are thousands of bloggers that regularly purchase from freelance content creators working behind the scenes.

You have to see how this works as another mom that I interviewed who does this made $4,000 her first month after she got the proper training! It’s insane, and no one talks about this.

How to get started:  Check out the article on  How to become a Freelance Content Creator

2. Social Media Manager

Are you on Social Media? You’d be amazed at how many small businesses in your area do not utilize this for their business.

They would love to have a young student who is active on Social Media to post on their behalf.

How much can you earn? You could make anywhere from $1,000-$10,000 per month depending on how many clients you have.

There are many Social Media schedulers out there that you can use so you’ll only need to work a couple of hours and can sit back and collect your check (while focusing on schoolwork of course).

How to get started: See how Annelise Pickett manages social media accounts here and how you can too.

This is one of the best online jobs from home for students. 

3. Virtual Assistant

I worked as an assistant for the Journalism department in college, but I could’ve easily done what I did from the comfort of my own dorm.

A virtual assistant is anyone that offers services virtually as a contractor or self-employed individual to clients.

Services can include email management, content creation, bookkeeping, graphic design, social media, and more!

How much can I make? You can earn $25-$100 an hour as a Virtual Assistant.

How do I get started? Kayla Sloan went from being flat broke to building her Virtual Assistant business to $10k a month! She now teaches others how to do the same. Check out her free workshop to see the simple step-by-step process for becoming a Virtual Assistant here .

4. Proofreader

Do you find yourself easily catching errors when reading? Do you cringe when you see grammar mistakes? If that’s you, you would make a great proofreader.

Proofreaders are NEEDED! I know, because I use one myself.

How much can I earn? Caitlin Pyle made $43,000 a year proofreading part-time in COLLEGE! You’ll have to check out her interview in my article on How to Become a Proofreader .

How to get started: If you want to learn the skills needed to start your own freelance proofreading hustle or see if this is the right career for you, check out this FREE introductory workshop .

5. Graphic Designer

Do you have an eye for design and experience in Adobe Creative Suite/Adobe Creative Cloud – including InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop? If you do, there is a profitable market out there for you.

If you don’t, all you need is a desire to learn. You can check out this highly recommended course Learn Photoshop, Web Design & Profitable Freelancing to teach you the ins and outs. (VERY AFFORDABLE)

I know, not another class but this may allow you to make money sooner before you graduate.

How much can I make? You can charge $25-$300 per hour, depending on your experience.

How do I get started: Promote your services to your social network and create a website showcasing your services and work. The more people see your work the more they will be reminded of you when a project/need comes up.

6. Web Designer

I recommend  starting a website  now even if it’s just for fun because this is an excellent way to make A LOT of money and age does not matter. You just need to know what to do.

You could be a front-end developer like I, which basically means I buy a theme like this website template  (this is the template of the website we’re on right now) and I customize it to my liking. I’m COMPLETELY self-taught aka I Google everything.

When it comes to building a website people think it’s really hard and they would rather pay someone else to do it than do it themselves, and that’s where you would come in.

I volunteered to do my church website because I wanted the experience. I knew nothing about starting a website or the complicated backend stuff, which is okay because all premium themes come with backend developer support so you won’t need to learn that (I still don’t know it) AND you get to ask them for help on the front-end stuff.

Doing my church website was a huge learning curve but so valuable, I learned A LOT. After learning how to create my church website and also the website we’re on right now, I became really good at it.

I charged $800 for doing a friend’s website, and now any other site I do will be $1,000 or more. I could do a website in a day or two if I know what the client wants on the site.

I wrote a step-by-step guide on  how to start a WordPress website  that can help you get started.

7. Start a Blog

Blogging is a GREAT online job for students to make money because a lot of it is passive income. I make money from ads that come up when people are reading my posts.

I can assure you, I did not write this article today and yet it’s making me money.

When you get a nice amount of people reading your articles it brings in a nice income. Here’s a screenshot of my earnings from one day.

I made $400 in one day just from ads, and I also make a lot of money in Affiliate sales. You can see  how I make money blogging .

You DO NOT need to be an excellent writer to become a blogger, you just write like you talk.

To make money blogging you’ll need to be able to help someone and give valuable information that people are looking for, I talk a lot about how it all works in this article about consistent income from blogging .

I spent a lot of time working on my blog the first year while pregnant with a full-time job, busy toddler, and husband. So if I can do it, you definitely can.

Now I work VERY part-time on my blog (Currently 15 months in) and I’m making more money than when I was at my corporate job.

If you like to travel, you could definitely start a travel blog. You can see how to get started here .

If you want to start a blog, I’ve detailed all the steps in my  How to Start a WordPress Blog article from scratch! I also mention the most popular niches that make the most money and get the most traffic.

8. Freelance Writer

Not interested in starting a blog but like to write? You should consider becoming a Freelance Writer.

You can make a lot of money as a writer, I know because I interviewed Holly Johnson who makes OVER $200,000 a year as a Freelance Writer.

Holly Johnson found the secret sauce when it comes to writing and charging the right rate for your work. She created a  free introductory training on how to build a six-figure writing career if you want to check it out.

How to get started: I highly recommend taking Holly’s course if you want to work from home writing and follow her path to success. I also have a number of ways to get writing gigs at the end of this article .

9. Video Editor

Do you like to make videos? Have you played around and edited some  Youtube  or Instagram videos before? If this is something you enjoy you could make an excellent income as a Video Editor.

EVERYTHING has gone digital and yet there are still so many people who have no clue how to edit videos, including me.

I’m in a lot of Facebook Blogging groups and people are always asking if anyone knows anyone who can edit videos for them and they are willing to pay a hefty price, especially if you can create cool engaging videos and graphics for YouTube videos.

How Much Can You Earn? You could easily charge $75-$150 per hour.

How to Get Started? Practice is really the best way to get started and taking a course to learn the ins and outs. Here’s the #1 best-selling  Video Editing  course on Udemy and it’s affordable!

10. Start a YouTube Channel

I never thought in a million years that I would start a YouTube channel but I did it and I got monetized in only 5 short months!

So now I make money with my videos from ads, you can see how I did it here .

11. Transcribe

Type what you hear (recordings), that’s what a transcriber does. If you can type fast, this may be an ideal job for you.

How much can you earn? You can make $7-$21 per hour with the companies hiring for transcribing here  or more if you build  your own business .

How to get started: Consider a side hustle in Transcription with this Free Mini-Course

Sell Products Online

12. print on demand.

Print-on-demand is one of the best ways to make money from home because Cassiy Johnson made over $26,000 in ONE MONTH! Yes, we said one month.

Cassiy was watching a YouTube video on different side hustles and they said print on demand was an easy way to make money from home and she ran with it.

Print on Demand is a process where you create designs for products like shirts, mugs, and tote bags for example digitally online using software like Canva .

Then you post them for sale on Etsy using digitally made mockups of the products to show what they will look like once they are printed.

It’s easier than this sounds, check out how Cassiy explains how she does this in our article on How to make money with Print on Demand.

13. Create Printables and Sell on Etsy

This is a good job for college students because you make a printable ONCE and can earn money from it over and over and over again.

It’s a great form of passive income that will allow you to make money while you focus on school work.

How much can I earn? Expect to earn $500-$8,000+ per month doing this PASSIVELY. See how much others are making here .

How to get started: Check out my interview with two women who do this successfully and how we can do it in my article How to Make Money Selling Printables on Etsy .

14. Selling low content books on Amazon

I’m sure you have no idea what I’m talking about, but that’s good because that means there are more opportunities for you. 

This is a great form of passive income where you can make a book once and sell it over and over again.

You create a cover of a book and one interior page (no graphic design experience needed). Post it to Amazon KDP and let your work sell. 

This may not make a lot of sense but we break it down in our article How to make 1000s selling low content books , or you can just watch as we show you how to do this in minutes.

15. Flip Items from Flea Markets and Thrift Shops

Rob from the Flea Market Flipper is the MASTER flipper. He made over $130,000 flipping items from Flea Markets and thrift stores PART-TIME, mostly on eBay.

And, you don’t need to have a lot of money to start either. Rob recommends his students start with a budget of $20-$50 to find items. Based on that, they should be able to make $100-$300 (mostly reselling on eBay) and then take some of the profit and do it again.

How do I get started? Rob created a free workshop to turn your passion for visiting thrift stores, yard sales, & flea markets into a profitable reselling business – in as little as 14 days. You can click here to sign up for his free workshop .

16. Create an Online Store with Drop Shipping

Drop shipping is a method where you can sell third-party products from a Drop Shipping Company without ever seeing or shipping the item. When you make a sale, the product is shipped directly to the customer from the drop shipper.

Your profit is the difference between what you charge your customers and what the drop shipping company charges you.

Here is a great infographic to show how it works:

Theo McArthur has great success with drop shipping and created a drop shipping course  that teaches you how to launch your first profitable Dropship Website in 14 Days or less and grow your Income to $10,000 per month in profits.

17. Search Engine Evaluator

Want to get paid to help Google clean up their mistakes? Consider becoming a Search Engine Evaluator.

Google doesn’t get it all right when it comes to the results that come up in search and they need your help.

As a search engine evaluator you’ll rate social media ads and search engines results for relevancy. That’s it! You work completely on your own schedule with a maximum of 20 hours per week and that’s why this is one of the best online jobs for college students.

How much can you earn? $12.50 – $14 per hour

• Respondent – $50-$400
• User Interviews – $50-$100 per hour

19. Get Paid from Online Surveys

Share your opinion on your phone or computer to help brands deliver better products and services and get paid in the form of gift cards or cash. These are very common online jobs from home.

I only recommend signing up for Survey Junkie ,  Swagbucks , and PrizeRebel . The more survey sites you sign up for, the more you’ll make! I only recommend this online job for high school students if you are old enough to meet the age requirements for the survey site.

Tip: Open a separate email account solely for surveys. You’ll start to get inundated with emails and it will be more manageable in a different account.

20. Get Paid to Test Apps and Websites

You already take tests all the time, why not get paid for some? This is a great online job for students because companies need feedback on the user experience of their websites and they’ll pay you to get it. This is one of the easiest ways and quickest to make money online.

Here are two companies to work with that will give you $10 per test and they take around 15-20 minutes. You can make up to $60 with User Testing.

• User Testing

More Money Tips for College Students

Start investing (in change) – free for college students.

Acorns is a neat way to start micro-investing. It rounds up your purchases to the nearest dollar and invests the difference on your behalf.

You can link as many credit or debit cards as you like and put your “change” to work for you in a low-cost ETF. The service costs $1 a month BUT for College students it’s FREE!

Acorns monitors your bank account and automatically invests the change from your daily purchases. For example, if you buy a coffee for $1.75, Acorns will round up to $2.00 and automatically invest $.25 in “smart portfolios”.

I can’t wait to see how much I’ve earned with this; I’ll definitely report back.

Bonus: Sign up with my Acorns link and get $5 to invest and plant an oak tree to help the world around us grow.

Use Rakuten

If you shop online, you are doing yourself a disservice if you are not using Rakuten .

Your online shopping experience will be the same except you just log-in through Rakuten first to earn cash back rewards.

I really rack my points up in December around Christmas time because I do a lot of shopping online.

$43 isn’t a whole lot of money, but it’s certainly better than nothing for something I was already going to purchase.

Check out Rakuten here and earn $30 if you spend at least $30.

Have you ever heard of  Honey ? Same type of deal but it takes more money off your total. You’ll no longer need to search for coupon codes and sales again! Click on the button during checkout and Honey  will automatically apply coupon codes to your shopping cart . If you are an Amazon shopper this is GOLD!

This is a great way to save money and find deals without doing the work yourself.

Students Really Can Make Money Online at Home or In a Dorm

15 Online Internships for High School Students – 2024

April 30, 2024

Finding internships in high school can be difficult, especially because most internships are designed for college students and postgrads. It can be especially hard to find remote internships that work with your school schedule and don’t require expensive travel. However, if you find an internship that’s right for you, the experience of a remote internship in high school can be worth the search. These internships can offer support as students figure out what they care about and what they’d like to pursue after graduation. Plus, internships are great resume builders that look highly impressive on college applications (some are even paid). Continue reading for 15 examples of remote/online internships for high school students.

Considerations for finding an internship

Before getting started, here are some factors to consider as you apply for remote internships:

Length/duration : Internships vary widely in length. Some remote internships run year-round, while others are designed just for the summer or during a 3-month period during the school year. There are also project-based internships, which last for only the length of time it takes to complete a specific assignment. Make sure you have time to complete the internship you’re pursuing. If you’re taking five AP classes in addition to soccer practice and the school play, perhaps you should consider a summer internship in order to produce high-quality work. Of course, you know yourself best!

Commitment level : Another consideration is how much time per week is required by an internship. Perhaps during the school year, dedicating a couple hours per week to an internship is doable, while dedicating 15-hours per week is simply unrealistic. Additionally, make sure you read the job description carefully and communicate clearly with your manager to avoid being assigned tasks you did not sign up for.

Online Internships for High School Students (Continued)

Networking opportunities : Networking is a primary reason why students take on internships. Working with industry professionals can lead to awesome letters of recommendation and sometimes even future jobs. Make sure your internship offers opportunities for meetings/seminars with mentors who you will want to keep in touch with. Since remote internships may limit the amount of face-to-face time with these mentors, it can be worthwhile to send introduction and thank you emails, and take initiative to schedule extra mentorship meetings when possible.

Payment/cost : By pursuing a remote internship instead of an in-person one, you’re probably already saving money on commuting and/or living away from home. As an additional bonus, some of these internships come with stipends. While these stipends are rarely enough to survive on, they can be useful for offsetting the costs of spending time on the internship instead of an after-school job. Even the internships that don’t pay can come with useful perks such as strong letters of recommendation and college course credit. On the other hand, some internships ask interns to pay a tuition, such as the Ladder Internship Program (though financial aid is sometimes available). If you choose to pursue an internship that costs tuition, make sure it’s something that you’ll get a lot out of.

Biden forgives $6.1 billion in student debt for 317,000 borrowers. Here's who qualifies for relief.

By Aimee Picchi

Edited By Alain Sherter

May 1, 2024 / 10:59 AM EDT / CBS News

The Biden administration is forgiving $6.1 billion in student debt for 317,000 people who attended The Art Institutes, a for-profit chain of schools that shut down last fall amid allegations of fraud.

The latest effort represents President Joe Biden's plan to tackle the nation's $1.7 trillion in student debt after the Supreme Court last year  blocked  his administration's plan for broad-based college loan forgiveness. 

The Art Institutes, which operated branches in cities including Atlanta, Fort Worth, New York and Tampa, shut down permanently in September after the Department of Education found it had misrepresented its graduates' employment rates and salaries. Hundreds of thousands of students had taken out billions in loans to attend the schools, but "got little but lies in return," U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in a statement  on Wednesday.

"We must continue to protect borrowers from predatory institutions — and work toward a higher education system that is affordable to students and taxpayers," Cardona added. 

In a separate statement,  Mr. Biden said his administration has forgiven $29 billion in debt for 1.6 million students "whose colleges took advantage of them, closed abruptly or were covered by related court settlements."

In conjunction with its previously announced debt relief , the Biden administration said it has forgiven a total of more than $160 billion for nearly 4.6 million borrowers, a number that includes today's announcement.

In the case of The Art Institutes, the Education Department's investigation found that the company falsely claimed that 80% of its graduates found jobs in their fields of study within six months of graduation. In reality, the figure never rose above 57%, the department said. 

The school also allegedly misrepresented its graduates' earnings and annualized the estimated incomes of grads who were in temporary jobs. For example, One campus included the annual income of tennis star Serena Williams, who  had attended  the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, in calculating grads' average income, the department said. 

The Art Institutes closed suddenly in September, impacting 1,700 students, according to the New York Times. The closure came after the organization settled for $95.5 million with federal regulators , who had accused it of fraud. Other campuses operated by the school had shut down in 2019 or earlier, according to the The Art Institutes' website.

Who qualifies for this student loan forgiveness? 

The Education Department said it is automatically forgiving $6.1 billion in student debt for 317,000 people who borrowed money to attend any Art Institutes campus on or after January 1, 2004, through October 16, 2017. 

Do borrowers need to take any actions?

No, borrowers don't need to do anything, the Education Department said. 

The department will start notifying eligible borrowers on May 1 that they have been approved for their debt to be discharged. 

Do borrowers need to continuing making payments?

The Education Department said it will immediately pause loans identified for discharge, meaning that borrowers should not have to make additional payments. 

"This ensures that they will not face any further financial demands from these loans during the time needed to process their discharges," the agency added.

Canada to introduce new rules around off-campus work hours for international students

From: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

News release

International students enrich Canada’s social, cultural and economic fabric. That is why, in recent months, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has introduced reforms to the International Students Program, to ensure system integrity while protecting students from fraud and financial vulnerability.

April 29, 2024—Ottawa— International students enrich Canada’s social, cultural and economic fabric. That is why, in recent months, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada has introduced reforms to the International Student Program, to ensure system integrity while protecting students from fraud and financial vulnerability.

The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, announced today that the temporary policy allowing students to work more than 20 hours per week off campus will come to an end on April 30, 2024, and it will not be extended. This fall, we intend to change the number of hours students may work off campus per week to 24 hours.

Students who come to Canada must be here to study. As such, allowing students to work up to 24 hours per week will ensure they focus primarily on their studies, while having the option to work, if necessary.

As we head into the summer session, students who have a scheduled academic break can continue working unlimited hours.

In developing this change, we looked at the needs of students, policies in other countries, as well as research that has shown that academic outcomes suffer the more a student works while studying. It also strikes the appropriate balance so students have the option to work without compromising academic outcomes. More details will be shared in due course.

We also continue to develop the new Recognized Institutions Framework to reward post­secondary institutions that set high standards for selecting, supporting and retaining international students. We will continue to support and protect international students from financial vulnerability and keep protecting the integrity of the International Student Program.

“Working off campus helps international students gain work experience and offset some of their expenses. As international students arrive in Canada, we want them to be prepared for life here and have the support they need to succeed. However, first and foremost, people coming to Canada as students must be here to study, not work. We will continue working to protect the integrity of our student program.” – The Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

Quick facts

Recent studies conducted in the US and Canada have shown that there is a considerable decline in academic performance for students working more than 28 hours per week, and that working more than 24 hours per week increases the chances that a student will drop out of their program.

Most countries that welcome international students set limits on the number of hours they may work while they study. Australia recently changed its policy to allow a student to work 48 hours every 2 weeks. In the US, students must meet additional criteria before being permitted to work off campus at all.

In December 2023, the Government of Canada raised the cost-of-living threshold that students must meet to be approved for a study permit so they are financially prepared for life in Canada and are not as dependent on working.

International students who begin a college program delivered through a public-private curriculum licensing arrangement on or after May 15, 2024, will not be eligible for a post-graduation work permit when they graduate. Those who already started this type of program prior to May 15, 2024, will still be able to access a post-graduation work permit, provided they meet all other criteria .

The new letter of acceptance (LOA) verification process has been a success. Since its launch on December 1, 2023, through April 1, 2024, IRCC has

•  received almost 162,000 LOAs for verification
• confirmed nearly 142,000 LOAs as valid directly with designated learning institutions (DLIs)
• identified almost 9,000 LOAs that didn’t match any LOA issued by a DLI or that the DLI had already cancelled before the foreign national applied for a study permit

Gagarin cup (khl) finals:  atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final.  While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.  Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so.  But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd. 

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime.  Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30).  Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date.  Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles:  Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30.  In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans:  Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship.  The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize.  The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it.  Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that. 

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth.  There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat.  Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role. 

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games.  They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL.  They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL. 

• Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
• Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
• Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.
