I nanny for a surgeon 15-20 hours a week
i write nutrition and exericse articles for a nutrition/exercise company's website. phew that was a mouthful.
the past few summers have been valet parking and pizza delivery...both jobs i highly recommend cuz they are probably the easiest jobs you could have and you actually make quite a lot of money. oh ive also been a surf instructor, but that was onyl for a short while... nothin better than working at the beach in the water.

...how much money could you possibly make valet parking/pizza delivering?
Clinical research coordinator at Stanford.
I feel like it sounds cooler than it actually is. I do like seeing my name next to "Stanford school of medicine" on my business cards (sent copies to my whole family 😀). Sigh...one and only time my name will be associated with that place...

Currently, I am not practicing clinically, but work in research. Clinical research technician at a medical school sleep lab in Michigan and a research project leader on my own project looking into aviation safety improvements through the university I attend.
on average i made 16-20 bucks an hour. thats pretty legit for a summer job. I'd come home with 80-100 bucks in tips....at the very least 50 bucks on a slow day. and thats just straight cash, you dont have to report it to anybody.
Hmm...Movie store, Research lab, and I TA a lab.

Clinical Research Assistant. But I get to do lot more than just RA for the studies. I'm learning how to analyze the data, write manuscripts, review submitted manuscripts for journals, etc. It's a great experience!
I own/operate my own custom cake business. No, seriously. I picked up cake decorating at my first job in high school, and its something I enjoy, so I've been doing cool/creative cakes for friends and family ever since. Everybody always said that I should go commercial, and since I have a gap year, I decided to give it a shot. I booked 3 weddings, 4 birthdays, and a baby shower in my first 3 weeks that I was officially in business! 
I don't think you and the IRS are reading the same manuals.
really? i'm not sure what you are talking about 😉

Share the wealth
I wouldn't exactly call it wealth just yet, I've only been in business for about 6 weeks!
Why oh why would you boast about that?
I've seen waiters/bartenders/valets/etc who work for tips boast about how much they make in cash and not report it, it just makes the rest of us who have to report every cent we make that much more against you and feel less sorry when we read the news about how tips are going down.
Summer:
Clinical research at Stanford
Teaching MCAT for Princeton Review
Coordinating a shadowing program (They found funding to pay me!!! So I guess it counts as "work" 😀 )
Once the school year starts:
All of the above plus TA-ing undergrad Biology lab classes.

Yeah, they're pretty cool. I made one explode today though. (One too many frustrated clicks on the "clean" function of my microinjection apparatus)
Yea, my honors thesis research was with C. elegans. I've since transitioned to clinical research, though.
I still have several strains that I need to freeze down. They're currently drying up in the -16deg incubator 🙁
Shadowing now. Over the school year I work at my school's health center, I organize and lead a group of volunteer peer educators with two other paid employees and create workshops/pamphlets/etc.
While I was in culinary school, I worked at a specialty running store and taught for Kaplan.
w00t! I love making cakes! Most of all, I love making sugar flowers (sugar paste, marzipan, pulled sugar). Roses, calla lilies, peonies, camellias, gardenias, tulips... 👍
If med school hadn't panned out, I would try to work specialty cakes for a couple years and then branch off on my own.

Back on topic, I work as a tutor for middle/high school students. Mostly math, but chemistry/physics as well.

Wait, are you being serious? Can you really make enough doing that, or is it a supplemental thing?
