Need Some Extra Cash? Consider Being a Poll Worker on Election Day

Wednesday October 1, 2008

Need an infusion of cash, but don't have the time or schedule flexibility to commit to a regular job? Consider being a poll worker on Election Day; the day is long, but many counties pay college students (and other volunteers, of course) to work local polling places. It can be a great experience, the basis for a paper, and a one-day commitment that brings in some extra cash. Check with your local government for more information; sometimes, you'll have to go through training that takes place a week or two before Election Day itself, so it's best to start checking into it now.

Additionally, if you're looking for unusual student jobs to help supplement your income, make sure to read the article here on the site for a list of suggestions.
