It seems as though Barbara Blogger and Perez Hilton are on the same wavelength when it comes to compiling data on crazy jobs that pay the tuition bill.

Check out one of Perez’s latest postings. Is that even legal?

It should be noted that Howard Stern has since stated that he just wanted to cover the story, not be a part of it.

CampusCompare would like to clarify that we want to hear about your crazy, legal jobs that are putting you through college.

The economy is certainly making it tougher and tougher to afford a college degree these days. School loans aren’t a sure thing anymore and so many students have taken to part-time and even full-time jobs to help put themselves through school.

We here at CampusCompare want to support and honor those of you who are college students working your ways through school, or high school students working to save up for extra cash on campus. So here’s our question:

Which of you has the strangest/coolest/weirdest/most questionable job? We wanna know!

BarbaraBlogger is based in Boston (say that three times fast!) where there are TONS of students, so she’ll be on the lookout for the hardest-working ones of the bunch. Who knows? Maybe you’ll get your picture or your story posted here in a future blog.

Not in Boston? Send us a picture or a note and we’ll make sure the word gets out on just how quirky your after-school job

In the current economic crunch, on-campus jobs might be hard to find this year. If you have already secured a job for the fall, show up on time and do your best work. If you don’t, there will most likely be someone eagerly waiting in the wings to take your place.

If you haven’t lined up a job on campus yet, or if you have found yourself on a long waiting list for one, don’t fret. There are other options for part-time work during the year. See if one of these fits your style:

Work retail.  Join the legions of college students who have worked at countless retail establishments in the evenings and on weekends. Stores are usually chomping at the bit for part-timers, since many of their summer hires have headed back to campus elsewhere. Stores like it when employees can take the closing shift, since most of their full-timers work during the day. Don’t worry if you don’t have a car at school—most cities and towns have a bus or train that stops at the mall, or your own campus bus might take you there. Bonus tip: Apply to a store whose merchandise doesn’t catch your fancy; that way, you’ll be far less tempted to blow your paycheck with the help of your generous employee discount.

Babysit or nanny. Many families are looking for a small, but regular weekly commitment from a reliable, kid-friendly person like you. You can study while the cherubs nap, or you can do your homework together after they come home from school. Bonus tip: You can score more pocket money if you are hired as a tutor in addition to your babysitting duties. Motivated families might especially like foreign language majors or music majors to teach a new language or instrument to their children.

Wait tables. With a great smile and a pair of comfy shoes, you can make some great tips as a waiter or waitress. Working at a busy restaurant or cafe can also do wonders for your social life; wait staffs are often known for their camaraderie both on and off their shifts. Bonus tip: Watch the free food or drinks that head your way or else you’ll gain more than just a steady paycheck.

If you are feeling more entrepreneurial than these three options, go ahead and post your own ads touting your services. Craigslist and Barefoot Student are two sites to check out.
