Here’s our list of the top ten highest paid jobs for university students in Australia. Take a look at our breakdown and let us know what you think of these best paying part time jobs.<\/p>\n

1. Tutoring<\/h2>\n

After-school tutoring offers a reasonably high degree of time flexibility and can pay very well depending on the subject(s) you\u2019re able to handle. University students are much sought after as tutors as their knowledge is current and their enthusiasm is optimal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Management of social media<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s fair to say that a university student will have a better than average grasp of social media. Those skills can actually translate into income by managing social media accounts for businesses. From chat-based customer service to creating and updating posts, social media management is potentially a great fit. The best thing about this type of role is that it can often be performed remotely.<\/p>\n

3. Administration<\/h2>\n

Being an Administrative Assistant is an excellent way of gaining experience that will potentially serve you well into the future. It would also be advantageous to select a role that not only serves your studies, but that may propel you into your chosen career path post-graduation.<\/p>\n

4. Freelance<\/h2>\n

No matter what your existing skill-set, you can find someone who needs the services you\u2019re able to provide in the world of freelancing. From proofreading papers, writing blogs and general copy, to assembling flat-packed furniture, there are a plethora of available freelance jobs on offer online. Money is paid on a per-job basis and some sites require you to bid for work, but the flexibility is second to none. The money can be competitive depending on what you\u2019re able to do for potential customers.<\/p>\n

5. Data entry<\/h2>\n

Data entry roles don\u2019t always require a high level of experience, just good accuracy, and typing speed. The role is often available remotely and so long as your time management skills are in check, it can be as flexible as you want it to be. The pay rate is often based on a fixed rate per word or document, so it pays to be quick and efficient.<\/p>\n

6. Photography<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re in possession of a decent camera and have a good eye, it\u2019s worth looking into photography. There are numerous sites that allow good photographers to sell their work online. It\u2019s also worth looking into event photography or assisting an established photographer in your area.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

7. Food Services<\/h2>\n

Some of these jobs require experience (e.g., barista or kitchen-hand work), but others still are willing to train. Pay is based on the kind of business you choose to work for and the hours you\u2019re able to do, but your income may be subsidised by tips.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8. Library Assistant<\/h2>\n

Library work can pay relatively well and is often centrally located. You will gain or utilise your existing customer service experience and better yet, you may be able to score a job at an on-campus library.<\/p>\n

9. Pet Care<\/h2>\n

The pet care industry has moved forward in leaps and bounds in the last few years, and there are a number of businesses that work as agencies, allowing clients to book their pets in for anything from vacation care to a brisk walk. Working remotely is an option if you\u2019re up for having someone\u2019s pet stay at your home for a predetermined length of time. It\u2019s also possible to sign up to simply visit the client\u2019s home and care for the animal there. Depending on which services you wish to engage in, and how often you work, you can make fairly decent money in the pet care arena.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

10. Cleaning<\/h2>\n

Last but not least, the cleaning industry often has the most job availability and the hours can suit even the busiest uni-student. Experience is not always required and pay can be quite good, especially for night work which can attract a higher hourly rate.<\/p>\n\n
