So my wife is trying to think of a suitable job, she hasn't worked in years due to being a student but her student career is on hold at the moment due to issues with financial aid and we are struggling on one income.The problem is she never really had any serious employment so has little experience, she also has to work around my schedule as we only have one car between us.I was wondering if anyone had any good/serious suggestions for something to get her working? I know back before getting my greencard it drive me nuts to be unable to contribute so I can imagine how she feels but I have had no luck coming up with options. She wants to do real estate but the classes/exams are out of our reach and we keep falling further behind. We are struggling to get our lives on track and it isn't getting any easier. 4951

HEB in Kingwood is hiring. So is Pet Ranch. Without work experience entry level jobs are all she's going to get. Both of these places pay above minimum wage, if you live in Kingwood they are centrally located- she could bike to work. 4951

I agree, look into temp work. Often leads to fulltime. If she works downtown she can take park and ride. 4951

The hospital is always needing sitters for patients. I dont think she needs any experience for that and if y ou guys live in the front of Kingwood, she could walk or ride a bike. 4951

I'm not sure what you mean about working around your schedule. Riding with you or taking the car when you get off work?
 
If she needs 8-5, she should apply to as many temp agencies as she can. When I started out doing temp work with no experience, they would send me for 3-5 day filing jobs. If she can alphabetize, she can file. The agencies will test her skill levels. If she is good with word and excel, she can earn more per hour and attain more challenging assignments.
 
If she needs evening work, she should consider waiting tables. That will yield the highest earnings per hour for most beginner evening work. But tell her to steer clear of breakfast joints and diners that don't serve alcohol. She will get discouraged quickly.
 
If she is good with children, she could offer in-home childcare. There is a huge demand. She could start by offering more competitive rates until she becomes licensed.
 
Good luck! 4951
