7 Great Side Jobs for Extra Cash

Strapped for cash? Many people are in these trying times. With growing unemployment, salary cuts, and the rising cost of living, plenty of Americans are seeking additional avenues to increase cash flow. Check out these seven hot side jobs that can be done around your 9-to-5 and with skills you may already have.

1. Dog Walker.

Even in a recession people don't skimp on their furry loved ones. Therefore, being a dog walker can be an easy sell, especially for other people who need to work two jobs to make ends meet. The double bonus here is you can get great exercise while racking up extra bucks. You can also walk dogs before or after your full-time job.

Dog walker median salary per hour: $16.29. 

2. Handyman. 

No matter where the economy stands, things still break that must be fixed. When you are good at fixing things, word travels fast. It's possible to make a small mint fixing cars, installing water heaters, and doing home electrical and plumbing jobs. Consider how much a full-time car mechanic or a plumber charges. Even if you discount your rate, the pay is still good, and customers feel like they got a deal. From painting to fence-building, there are plenty of household jobs many people can't do or simply don't want to. 

Handyman median salary per hour: $17.33. 

3. Medical Transcription.
Are you a fast typist with excellent grammar and a medical background? If so, medical transcription may be for you. An added perk is that you can do it from home!

4. Wills/Medical Power of Attorney.

Completing these documents is something most people agree is essential but have not checked off their 'to-do' list. Talk to friends, church members, and neighbors to generate clients. Potential clients are likely working or have other commitments just like you. Therefore, being available outside of business hours makes meeting up more convenient for everyone involved.
Attorney median salary per hour: $55.66.

5. Income Tax Preparer.
Tax season is here so why not cash in? Preparing income taxes is one of the most dreaded have-tos among Americans. There are plenty of people who would be glad to pass off their tax preparations to someone else if for no other reason than the fear of being audited. Donald Cheatham, owner of DC Tax Group, turned his side job into a small side business. He chose this off-hours gig because of the high demand and he enjoys accounting and the extra money. "I work 50 to 60 hours a week on my main job [as an accountant] and another 25 to 35 hours a week for my part-time job during tax season. So it gets a little hard at times and usually sleep is the one thing that I don't get during tax season, but it is well worth it," says Cheatham, who started up in 1995 in Chicago. While it helps your credibility if you are a certified public accountant, this certification is not required.
The median salary for an accountant per hour: $18.19; CPA median salary per hour: $26.25.

6. Teach a Hobby.
Whether it is dance, tennis, golf, computer skills, or music, teaching someone how to do something you are good at and love makes working a second job less like, well...work. You can find teacher job ads at recreational centers in your neighborhood or advertise your expertise online and in local publications. With spring in the air, more people will want to get out and try something new or improve their skills.
Dance instructor median salary per hour: $18.58; Music teacher median salary per hour: $21.28.

7. Babysitter. 
This job is convenient, especially if you have kids. After all, you can make money with them right near by. Offer to watch your friends' and neighbors' kids so they can take a breather, and they will love you for it. Another option is to help people who work nights. Finding a 24-hour daycare service is difficult to say the least. Caring for several kids on the same night can compound your earnings and get you extra cash more quickly.
Babysitter median salary per hour: $9.00.

10 New Jobs for Men in 2010

The jobs report may be improving, but we've still got a ways to go. So whether you just like drinking Absinthe all day, or tend to hijack your son's Tonka trucks too often, these creative career ideas could be just right for you.

1. Forensic Accountant:

If men like Bernie Madoff are national villains, then forensic accountants might be considered heroes. Large corporations and the government have increasingly trained regular old accountants for these positions in the wake of Enron; now, graduate programs like the one at the Rutgers Business School are gaining traction. Your job is simple: make sure everything adds up (in a legal sense), and hope you uncover a huge scandal.

2. Mobile Business Entrepreneur:

Every time you turn a city corner (or magazine page), there's another mention of the Kogi Truck, a dumpling delivery service, or one of the hundreds of food trucks crowding our city streets. But you don't need a truck. And you don't even need food. That's what retailers across the country are realizing: just use the Internet. Make pizza and deliver it from your house; sell neckties on Etsy.com. This job, unlike others, isn't so specific it just takes the balls to execute that idea you've always had. And, hey, no interview.

3. Independent Insurance Salesman:

Looking for a way to make the health care debate make sense for you? Don't worry about it too much just profit from it. These independent contractors help people who aren't offered health insurance through work or who can't afford premium private plans find an option that matches their circumstances. And, as health care becomes mandatory for all Americans, now's a good time to get certified.

4. Ethical Hacker:

Want your identity stolen? Probably not. And neither does your bank, which is why financial institutions have started finding computer experts the non-criminal type to give their Web sites a workout. The best of the geeks crack the computer systems before the crooks do. So, basically, it's just like being a real hacker, only with up to a hundred grand instead of the jail time.

5. Bike Lane Engineer:

In cities, especially, biking's a great way to avoid those subway-car crowds that can be more awkward than a Ben Stiller sex scene. But those lanes zigzagging their way through Chicago, Paris, and New York aren't coming from the will of the people; they're carefully orchestrated by these new engineers. The gig sounds simple  build lanes where riders won't get hit but unfortunately for bikers, that's easier said than done. And as all cities become bike-friendly (which they will), the field will only grow.

6. Algal Field Monitor:

Sure, it doesn't sound too exciting you would, in fact, be monitoring microscopic, funny-looking, water organisms as they grow but the implications are important: at some point, the country will run out of fossil fuels. We'll be turning to things like these weird-looking water organisms. Plus, this is your chance to tell women who love the environment that you're involved in "alternative fuel research." Sorta.

7. Marijuana Lobbyist:

The right to get high has been a states' issue for several years now, but as pot reform becomes a larger part of the national debate, these are the people at the forefront of the movement to de-stigmatize the drug. Just like other lobbyists, they glad-hand with politicians and policy wonks about why the drug should be legal, and get involved in fundraising for the cause. Of course, this requires charisma in addition to sketchiness a potential roadblock for your typical burnout.

8. Marijuana Lobbyist:

The right to get high has been a states' issue for several years now, but as pot reform becomes a larger part of the national debate, these are the people at the forefront of the movement to de-stigmatize the drug. Just like other lobbyists, they glad-hand with politicians and policy wonks about why the drug should be legal, and get involved in fundraising for the cause. Of course, this requires charisma in addition to sketchiness a potential roadblock for your typical burnout.

9. Housing Bulldozer Operator:

The field itself isn't new, but it's definitely been re-ignited by the country's housing crunch. And yeah, it's a bit of a downer no one wants to have to tear down abandoned homes and buildings, really but we're willing to bet a real bulldozer's a helluva lot more fun than those Tonka ones.

10. Barter Trade Broker:

Since not everyone has so much cash on hand these days, these brokers work as a middleman between companies who might want to trade goods and services. Say a new wine store needs some fresh paint? This guy will decide how much French red is worth four freshly coated walls. No day's ever the same, as you can imagine, plus you get to find out what weird shit people are willing to trade. Just like Hoarders, only without the cluttered house.
