@ndafife ife

I mean I'll probably get fired right away and I'll act very clumsy and awkward

I am a Cardiac Telemetry Monitor Tech at a small rural hospital and I absolutely love my job. Patient care and diagnostics all rolled into one. Pay is good too, I am PRN but full time ish during summer.

What about tutoring through your school? I worked as a science tutor through my school. It paid 20/hr and guaranteed min 20hrs a week. Pretty easy with a light course load.

Scribe and student lab technician. Check if your school has a job website. Mine uses Handshake.

Saltwater Specialist/Supervisor at a pet store. It was my highschool job and is super chill, works with my schedule, not draining.

I had a paid scribe job for a year and it was a good experience to have but it was outpatient hours (M-F 7am-4pm or 5pm) which was awful for school and was very draining. I think that is good though, all premeds should be scribes IMO to see how it is WORK NONSTOP. Room to room to room to room to room to room. You are thinking and trying to do something from the minute you walk in to the minute you clock out (not true for ER, my ER scribe friends get to enjoy some "downtime")

I feel serving tables would also be pretty draining but can be very lucrative at the right place and with the right personality/face.

Basically jobs that you can do homework on the clock are the best IMO but hard to come by. (Not scribing or serving)

Did you need any training or certifications for that?

I didn't even bother applying to jobs with "tech"as a prefix as I assumed those jobs required an associates degree in that field

Telemetry tech where I am at requires nothing. I had a bit of experience (2 years) as a CPhT (pharmacy tech) but other than that none to speak of. Most will need healthcare provider level BLS but that's cheap and easy to obtain.

I am a Medical Lab Tech/Laboratory manager. Part time around 12 hours a week whenever I want (so long as the Drs get their results, doesn’t matter). Joined the military as a lab tech, got connections in my unit, turns out one of the physicians needed an MLT at their clinic, boom perfect job for a college student lol

I worked in marketing part-time for several years because I thought I was gonna go into that industry. My titled never really changed. My salary changed slightly. But my responsibilities got considerably heavier every year.

 

[Cornfed101]

I’ve held all kinds of jobs since high school:

• Customer service call center
• Collections
• Door to door vacuum salesman
• TA
• Apartment manager
• Technical services engineer (software dev)
• Costco
• ED scribe
• Ophthalmic Tech

Jobs say they want experience, but if you can be persuasive they will take you

Edit: I was also a freelance tutor for math and science for a few years... man I had a lot of different jobs.
