Anything on campus will likely be easy and they will be awesome with working around your schedule but the pay the pay will probably blow. Off campus jobs will probably get you more money but the scheduling will be less flexible.

Likely not even worth considering unless you have work study as part of your financial aid, though. Students with work study have first crack at almost all campus jobs, and, depending on the school, everything left over is likely to remain unstaffed for budget reasons.

Considering current job market and economy fun stuff, the best part time job you can get as a student is any part time job you can get.

True about the security job. I work for a security company and work four days and get three days off. If you have a computer and internet access you're set. I use my Evo for internet. You get time to study and it's perfect when it comes to research papers. No one bathers you and you don't need any supervision unless they put you in a place where you have to work with others.

Where would one go for a part time security position? Do I have to provide my own ride?

Best thing to do would be to look in the phone book. I worked for a small to middle size company in Austin, so I have little idea what is available in San Antonio. I imagine it has the full range of outfits, from the large to the small.

Be sure to be honest about the types of posting you are looking for, if you go this route.

You will have to provide your own vehicle to get to and from work, as with just about any job.

One thing though: you have to get registered with DPS and have your fingerprints taken, as well as pass a really easy test. The company will also likely do a brief background check as well.

The larger the outfit is, the more likely it will have something that suits you, and the smaller outfits are likely to be the most flexible in terms of working with you.

Security work, due to the low skill level, does tend to attract a lot of people with poor work habits. It doesn't take much to stand out as a good prospect. Show up on time, be conscientious and smart about the job, and you have a bit more leverage to ask for good assignments.

If you go to a job interview, be sure to ask THEM a question or two, and this goes for ANY job. Do a bit of research, and ask a few relevant questions about the company during the course of an interview. You would be surprised at how much this impresses people.

A good security job. If you can find an outfit that baby-sits empty buildings at night, you are golden.

Sit for 45 mins, walk around for 15 mins, write down "nothing happened" in the log, and repeat 8 times. Total study time: 5-6 hours per day, total time spent "working" 2-3 hours of mild exercise.

Pay is lousy, and you have to fit in some sleep sometime during the day, but you can work 40 hours easily as a student, and that makes up for the lower pay. The study time is golden though. The type of job that brings your GPA UP if you work more.
