High Paying Part-Time Jobs: 5 Opportunities

In a tough economic climate, many people are turning to part-time jobs as a method of getting extra income to make ends meet.

The problem is if you are already working and earning an average or above average amount of money, what kind of part-time jobs pay enough to make it worth your time?

I put this lens together for some ideas on finding a high paying part-time job opportunity. Most of these jobs can be found in any small-medium or large metro area around the country.

High Paying Job #1- Sales Associates $12-$30 per hour 


In this case, I am referring to sales associates at certain retailers. These kind of positions are held, part-time, by respectable people usually earning decent money in their primary job or career. Wages range from $12-$30 per hour or more. Schedules tend to be flexible, and the best time to work for these jobs are after 5pm and weekends. These retailers are often overlooked by most people or thought to be low paying. This is good for you since there is little job competition with these companies.

High Paying Job #2- Delivery Services $9-$10 per Hour with Excellent Benefits 

Another overlooked, high paying opportunity is delivery companies. One company in particular offers a lower hourly wage, but extremely good benefits including low cost, health insurance, 401(k) with matching plans, college tuition benefits and regular, generous wage increases. Shifts usually start early in the morning around, and end at 8 or 9am.

High Paying Job #3- Medical Studies & Donation $15-$20 Per Hour 

Some people believe that medical studies and related kinds of jobs are for the homeless or extremely poor people. Nothing can be further from the truth! Most of these opportunities are not highly advertised and draw professionals, blue-collar workers, housewives, older folks and students.

A larger, national company routinely offers pay for physical donation that amounts to $20-$30 per hour! Other benefits of physical studies and donation include free physicals and other perks.

High Paying Job #4- After Hours Floor Cleaning $15-$18 Per Hour 

If you can handle working after hours, there is a BIG need for people to clean floors at retail stores, medical facilities and some offices. This job is not all that difficult, and in the world of cleaning jobs, pays fairly well. Normally the job involves dust mopping, sweeping, using a scrubber and buffer to shine up the floor. Some companies will let you sub-contract the work, which pays even better.

This kind of job works well if you don't want a lot of human interaction, and the time goes by very fast.

High Paying Job #5- Tipped Jobs $10-$30 per hour 

Tipped jobs are an excellent part-time opportunity if you know which offer the best pay. Stay away from low-end restaurants, buffet's and most diners. Their clients tend to be budget buyers and have little extra money to provide for tips. Better opportunities involve certain higher-end restaurants and bar and grills.

This kind of job requires people-skills and a good amount of physical activity.

Other less advertised tipped jobs which may or may not be available your area include taxi services, door greeters at high-end buildings, and the gaming industry.

Some Part Time Jobs To AVOID If You Can Help It 

  • Day-Labor- Usually very low pay, very hard work.

  • Production Work- Because they hire part-time workers for the worst jobs in the plant.

  • Telemarketing-Although there are some good opportunities, most offer low hourly wages and tough products or services to sell with unattainable sales goals for most people.

  • Pizza Delivery- Margins are getting lower for pizza companies, and college students and low-income families do not tip very well.

  • Most cashier jobs- Low pay, boring work.
