<p>I signed up for the orientation etc. for tutoring. It was sent to me in my e-mail because I'm eligible for Federal Work Study. But it said it pays $10 an hour. Seems alright for me, but is this an average wage in New York? Anyways, what would you all say is the highest paying job (no matter how hard) I can get as a student up there? I want to make as much money as possible in my out of class time so I can pay off my tuition. Thanks.</p>
<p>I would say the highest paying job for students anywhere would probably be writing programs, that is if you know JAVA.</p>
<p>im almost in the same situation as you are duobeef- all my classes end either at 10.45 or 12.15 in the morning-at noon so I will have all my afternoon to work either on campus or off campus.
im thinking of working in an airline company and if that doesnt work i know Kaplan hires undergrad students as tutors for SAT's and if that doesnt work out too i will sign up at careernet (Wasserman Career and Development Center) during Orientation Week for an on-campus job.
Maybe you may consider doing the same!</p>
<p>yummi, how much do those jobs pay? And what would be the second highest paying?</p>
<p>I've got an e-mail for $15+, duobeef. It's a tutoring position as well, but if you're interested, I'll give you the contact information.</p>
<p>I'd appreciate it, goyoungha. My e-mail is rajivgokal [at] nyu.edu</p>
<p>and also check <a href="http://www.kaplan.com%5B/url%5D">www.kaplan.com</a> its another nyu student who told me about this you have to go to an audition there and they give you a subject and you have to talk about it for 5 minutes.</p>
<p>As a freshman, $10-15 seems like a normal amount for an office-type job. However, I think you pay less taxes on workstudy, so it could end up working out to being equal to a higher paid, non-workstudy job. If you have any babysitting or tutoring experience at all, those jobs tend to be really well-paid (and probably not taxed).</p>
<p>Definitely agreeing with youkosiren. Most jobs start at $10/hour. However, if you work undocumented jobs like babysitting or private tutoring, you could probably make more and pay no taxes.</p>
<p>My sister works for the Kaplan company. She is an SAT teacher at Kaplan and she is only a freshman in college. You get paid $28-30 an hour, depending on how much they like you. My brother is writing programs for some company online and he gets paid $40 for every program he writes.</p>
<p>She must be teaching a specific test to be getting that much. Average is $18/hr. How many hours does she work on average for a week?</p>
<p>is that salary taxed or not taxed?
and how often and how long does she work? is it usually at weekend or during the week and during day time or in the evening?</p>
<p>I know a few people who have worked for Kaplan. There's no way a freshman in college is making $28-30/hr. And the salary doesn't depend on 'how much they like you'.</p>
<p>Yea, it depends on what kinds of tests they teach. MCATs and LSATs usually pay more than SAT and ACT.</p>
<p>Still, though, I'm interested in what her schedule is like.</p>
<p>I think its because shes at Columbia or she has connections. I have no clue how her schedule works, but I do know she teaches SAT I math and verbal. I'm not sure if she teaches writing. She works like 20 hours a week or somewhere around there.</p>
<p>That's a lot of hours for a full time student....</p>
<p>yea... she has to work and study to pay for her tuition because she didn't get any financial aid and she didn't want to get loans either.</p>
<p>i am also plannig to work 20 hours per week, thats why i took the morning schedule so i have no classes after 10.45 am!
i think that way it is pretty managable!</p>
<p>yummi - do you know what she presented for her audition (as in her topic)?</p>
<p>Wow, do you have any more information on the java programming jobs?</p>
<p>maybe taking computer science wasn't such a bad idea after all..</p>
