Those that are going to school in the day, what are your night jobs (if any?)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I work full time as a Retention Specialist at a regional cellular company that helps with my tuition. Absolutely nothing to do with my schooling, but it pays the bills (and does a good job of it).
 
I've found it's much easier to do the opposite. Find a daytime job close to campus with flexible hours so you can leave for class and come back and/or find a university with the classes you need offered in the evening.
 
work for a contracting service for funeral homes/medical examiner staffed 24/7, very flexible schedule for classes during the day.
 
I work as a nurse's aide at a hospital. I work three 12's a week 7p-7a. One of my least favorite things about this process has been having to take tests after working a 12 hour shift at the hospital. But all in all, the shift work at hospitals is very amenable to going to school.
 
a friend of mine does tissue recovery, mostly at night. Great surgical experience. I work fulltime days and class in the evening, also work for a place with flexible hours and excellent encouragement for school.

Medical technologist 40 hrs a week.
 
EMT - 5 x 11p-7a/week
Generally not busy, so could theoretically spend four of those hours studying - generally actually do two
If you're working overnight, night classes before the shift are superior to morning classes after
 
Critical Care Flight Parmedic, I worked 24 hrs shifts, but I just recently resigned.
 
I am a simulator instructor for a new corporate jet, pretty easy just sitting there messing with the students, 6 hour sim then I'm done for the day.
 
One guy I know was a stand-up comedian. He was pretty good and even got paid to do some shows.
 
I know a few medical assistants who are taking evening and/or part-time nursing courses. It's very easy to become a medical assistant for small, private offices.
 
EMS...but if you're going to work the night shift, make sure you like hanging out with your coworkers, 'cause you'll be too tired to party with your other friends on the "regular" weekend. I'd get a job on campus if I were you.
