Ask HN: Job for college student better than DoorDash?

4 pointsby candymanabout 1 year ago
So my son is trying to work is way though college and doing lots of things to figure it out. He's thinking he could add driving part time for DoorDash to add to the monthly income. But I wonder if there are some remote jobs out there like resetting passwords, servers or routers or something that he could learn enough about to get a less-disruptive and safer that he can make extra money with. He's tried those "Fivrr" type of sites and they didn't fit the bill, he wants something steady.

Find an SMB that seeks study material-related work and work part-time. Don't offer yourself a hyper-commiditized, forgettable cog like in the gig economy (if avoidable)...

My son made decent money on Varsity Tutors for a while. I wonder if people can suggest other online tutoring services that are hiring.
