Question by Power10: What are some good paying jobs available for a college student?
I’m looking for a job that I can make over ,000 a year. I’m currently in college and I’m really not sure where to look. It doesn’t have to be in my field of study, just a good paying job. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Depends on your skills. You can try freelance writing, bookkeeping, software, transcription or customer service work at home jobs. These companies do not require any fee and pay well . List of companies(with websites) offering genuine work at home jobs is available at http://www.pcworkathome.net . Many of these companies have been in business for several years

You can work for yourself rather than at a job and make good money using the internet.

Short answer: it depends on your skills.
If you have any computing skills, do a search on dice.com (http://dice.com/). Search on the name of whatever program or skill you have.
If you have excellent written communication skills and know Microsoft Office really well – especially Access, Excel or PowerPoint – you can probably get a part-time office job.
If you are very outgoing, friendly and persuasive, look into sales – and I don’t mean the kind where you stand in a store, I mean B2B or “inside” sales, where you sell services or products for a single company to other companies. This can be very high paying, though they might prefer graduates who can work full-time.
Advertising sales can be very lucrative, too, if you’re good at it and not easily discouraged. Check your college directory to see if they have “yellow page” advertising and coupons for local businesses; if so, they probably have a staff of students selling that advertising.
If you notice a recruiting firm that seems to have a lot of the kind of job you’re after, call them up directly and let them do some of your job hunting for you. Temp or “contracting” firms such as Manpower are a good place to start, too.
Good luck!
