someone who needs flexibility due to the fact that they are working towards their degree, but that also offers a high enough pay to raise their children as a single parent.

They are willing to step outside of the box.

Do you have an interesting out of the norm job?

    Tough one. I've been a CNA for a few years, that job can be flexible depending on where you work but its a job that you have to be suited for.

    Yea, most people say nursing, but I'm not sure it's a good fit. You definately have to be suited for it...I totally agree.

    Optimally a job working in your field somehow that you want to eventually move on to. Maybe find a job on campus if you are going to a big school. Or you might have to find a couple part time jobs.

    Try a CREDIT UNION. They are non-profit and are flexible with schedules etc weekends off, holidays off 9-5 m-f...........plus you can get banking experience while going to school!

    Do you have previous qualifications or experience? If you don't, you could try a call center. My mom worked at one (no cold calls, it was people calling her about the status of their mortgage) and she could literally go to a computer and make her own schedule. I think she made around $11 an hour. Other than that, you could waitress/bartend. If you pick the right restaurant (ie very busy like Cracker Barrel, or a high end place) you can make a good amount of money when there's a good crowd. When I worked at Cracker Barrel it wasn't uncommong for servers to make around $100 a day on the weekends and holidays.

    Of course, these are just jobs off the top of my head assuming you have no qualifications at all. Also, I have no idea how much you need to earn... so yeah

    Or you could just be a call girl. heh
