Help Finding a Better Job

[GrungeGuy]

Hey All,

 

I'm looking for some help in brainstorming possible jobs. In particular, I'm looking for something that will pay about $19/hr or more, which I can do part time. Bonus if the work can be done on the weekend. RIght now, I'm in the last year of my graduate program and am doing an internship part time during the week where I provide psychotherapy to indivuduals and groups. What I'm hoping to find is a job that I can do to pay my bills on part time work while I start my private therapy practice on the side once I graduate.

 

I have experience as a caregiver, an administrative assistant, an autocad technician, and a bunch of customer service positions. RIght now, I'm working at a hospital part time, delivering equipment to the floors, taking dirty equipment off the floors, and cleaning the equipment. This job is pretty taxing, doesn't pay well, and isn't rewarding, but it fits my schedule perfectly and I am hoping that it may be a foot in the door at the hospital that might help me get into a more satisfying and better paying position. I've been looking at hospital job listings so far and applied to several positions and I'm wondering where else I might look for a job that will meet these desires.

 

Any ideas? Thanks!

$19/hr ? Do you have any rich family members where you can find a job? $19/hr.... I think you will have to lower your expectations regarding payment.

I've found that the places that pay that in hourly are going to be mid to higher end financial institution positions and management positions- and they will be full time. 

 

You could try and pick up part time work as a waiter or bartender or barback, and that could bring in cash if you're really good with people and you pick the right establishment... otherwise good luck.

When I was a drafter, I made $19/hr at one point, and that job is to draw pictures on the computer all day. Unfortunately, I haven't done that work for years and the drafting software is always changing. I was told that a position which I am applying for at the local hospitals pays $19, but I found out today that it's actually $16, though this would still be acceptable.

 

I suppose I will find out if there isn't much out there that pays in this range and will allow part-time, but I am not about to lower my expectations without really looking for a while first. I know that I am a valuable employee: I have been in the workforce for 15 years now, I am educated, intelligent, and I have a proven track record of learning new systems and work environments as well as impressing employers with my work ethic and dependability.

Why not offer psychotherapy atm? Over skype even? You might have to call it something else due to licensing etc, but if you have the knowledge, why not?
