How to Make Money Over Winter Break

Winter break is a great time to make money. Here are a few student jobs available over winter break!

With winter break just around the corner, you, like me, are probably counting down the days until you can close your backpack and just relax. After a long semester of tests and quizzes, most teenagers are more than ready for a December break. However, we often forget that taking a break from school doesn't mean we have to spend every day sleeping until noon. In fact, school breaks are a great time to do something almost as important as classes: make money! How?

1. Childcare

With schools closed, many working parents will be on the lookout for casual childcare. Doing a few hours of babysitting a week is a great way to ensure you can afford to purchase those holiday gifts for your family! 

2. Pet and House Sitting

The holidays are also a time when many families pack up and travel to see their loved ones. If you're staying home this break, taking care of a neighbor's pets or looking after their home while they're away is a simple way to make some extra cash. 

3. Your Summer Job

If you held a job last summer, there's no harm in reaching out to your old boss to see if you could work for a week or two. Many companies will be hustling to handle the holiday rush or finish projects by the end of the year, so they'll probably be happy to have some familiar help. 

4. Stock Photography 

After years of perfecting Instagram posts, many Gen-Zers have learned to love and become skilled in photography. If this sounds like you, you may make some money by selling your photos to a stock photo company. 

5. Paid Focus Groups

Being paid to give your opinion is a dream for many extraverts. Make that dream a reality by joining paid focus groups. You can make up to $300 an hour by participating, so these are a foolproof way to fill your wallet.
