I was a server at a steakhouse. It was nice because I had a set schedule, could pick up shifts if needed, and I made pretty good money (since the price of steak is high so were my tips). Plus if I needed the night off for any reason, we were allowed to have other people work our shift, so we would trade shifts or pay someone $20 to take our shift.

I had the best job.  I was an usher for uni functions meaning I counted people and handed out programs, and worked my way up to manager meaning I got to push play for movies, so I got payed to watch movies and plays and stuff.  I even had the theater key, and still have it since I never gave it back.  :P

I worked at the rec center at one college I went to. I was a resident assistant as well. Then I worked in medical billing. That was a kick ass job.

I highly suggest getting a job that is at least somewhat related to the field you want to get into when you graduate if you can.  It looks fantastic if you can show that you already have relevant work experience by the time you graduate. 

I worked at my school's writing center and it was the most amazing job ever.  I was able to work one on one with with students who brought in writing assignment for their classes.  It was very low key and rewarding with great hours and flexibility.  By the time I graduated I was working in the open lab and also leading small group tutorials for ESL and English 101 students.  So much fun!

My brother and sister graduated in the sciences and they were able to work in the same lab.  They started out as dishwashers but were able to move up to doing real research by the time they graduated. 

Nannying for a rich family in the summer for sure.  

During the school year, it was being a Residence Advisor. Covered my rooming costs.

I've had a lot of good ones - 

Research assistant for professors - usually pays pretty well and good for your resume/when you're looking for full-time job. 

Tutoring - this was my favorite. I got paid a LOT, and I love working with people, so it was really fun. Very rewarding to see people improve after you've worked with them! 

Teaching Assistant - office hours once a week, grade tests, etc. 

My brother and his gf worked as computer lab monitors and loved it - get paid for sitting there and doing your work (or going online)

I worked a few jobs, and the best by far was working in a photo developing lab. Some days when work is really frustrating I find myself fantasizing about working there again, lol

I worked at a call centre; being on the phones was awful, but I was promoted to a couple of different data entry type positions during my time there, and those were great.  Low stress, ok pay, I could chat with my co-workers a lot.  Data entry can be a bit boring, but is wonderful with good co-workers!

Oooh, tough call.  Especially since I often worked 2-3 jobs at a time!  However, the nanny gig with gave me a free place to live, and I am still good friends with the family today.  Since the child was older, I just had to make sure he woke up, went through his morning routine, and drove him to school.

I also was a receptionist at a CPA firm--to this day, I still get a discount on my taxes with them!  I had great hours, but they were nice about flexibility on the rare occasion that I needed extra time off.  Most of the time I was able to study or write papers, since I worked there in the "off-season."

Oh, I should at that at the rec center I was a lifeguard and swim instructor.

Oooh I also vote for nannying! I'm a nanny, and make loads of quick cash (no taxes!) for just hanging and doing homework, and playing :)

Sittercity.com is an awesome website to find local baby- or pet-sitting jobs. They even have listings for housecleaning or house-sitting. It's awesome.
