Q: If you feel prepared to juggle your school work and a job, there are many part-time jobs that are available to high school and college students. You can work on weekends, after classes, or between them. Many college students have enough time between classes to fit a quick work shift in. Some high schools allow students to take a period off in their junior or senior year to fit an hour or two of work experience into their day. If you are in college, there may be quite a few open positions that won't even force you to commute. Ask your career center about paid tutoring opportunities, note-taking positions, student resource jobs, office assistant positions, and anything else your school relies on students to help out with. You may be able to work multiple shifts throughout the day at the same on-campus job if your classes are in the middle of the day, for instance. Friends who have jobs off-campus may know whether the restaurant, store, office, or other place of work is hiring. Ask if there are any positions that are open. Another benefit of this is the chance of carpooling or working with a friend. Be sure to consider whether your friend seems to have a good reputation at their workplace. If they are seen as a slacker, it may not help you to mention that you are their friend when you apply. Stop by bulletin boards in and near your school, whether at student centers or coffee shops nearby. Employers looking for students will often post job ads on these boards, expecting students to find them and reach out. Check regularly to make sure you see new postings as soon as they are up. Go on a reputable job website like the Craigslist jobs section, Monster, Indeed, or SimplyHired and enter keywords for the kind of work you are looking for. You can even include "student" to see if there are job descriptions that mention students specifically. Always look for jobs a little in advance of when you want to start. If you are on the hunt for a summer job, check the month before school ends and local employers will have lots of jobs with "seasonal" or "summer" in the name. Be sure to check the minimum requirements when looking for a job online. Many places will make it clear whether they are looking for students or not by requiring certain degrees.
A: Try out a part-time job with a flexible schedule. See if your school has any open positions. Ask friends if their workplace is hiring. Look around on bulletin boards. Check job hunting websites.

Q: To make the red ladybug wings really stand out, you'll want to find a comfortable black shirt with black pants or get out a long-sleeve black leotard with leggings. You could choose a red or black dress instead of the leotard or shirt. Feel free to swap out red clothing for any of the black pieces. You could even cut red fabric circles to glue onto the black clothes. Little kids love the feeling of twirling around with a bunch of tulle. Buy or make a red tutu that you can tie around your toddler's waist. You can leave the tutu solid red or glue black fabric circles to the tutu so they look like spots. Buy a simple red eye mask and glue small black dots made of foam over the mask. These will look like ladybug spots. If you're short on time, draw the black dots using a permanent black marker.
A:
Pick a black shirt and pants. Add a tutu to make a toddler ladybug costume. Wear an eye mask covered in spots.
