The number of part-time workers is steadily increasing. Based on the data by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), 22 percent of employees work on a part-time basis and they do not lack the essential benefits full-time workers receive.
One example of this lucrative part-time work is in the health professions. BLS reports show that nursing is expected to grow 23 percent within the 2006-2016 period. To become a nurse, you would need a two-year associate program or a three-year diploma program and pass a state-licensing exam.
The reward of working part-time is that your time becomes flexible and you get to have enough for pursuing higher studies or do volunteer work.
Other part-time jobs that pay include college instructors and financial analysts.
