Lots of Americans had summer jobs when they were teenagers or when they were in college. It was nice to have a little extra cash around for fun summer activities.

However, just because you’ve graduated from college and have a full-time job doesn’t mean that you can’t take a couple of extra hours per week and get a summer job at any age.

By taking a little bit of time in the evenings or on the weekend, you can help pay for that summer vacation, send your children to summer camp, pay off a credit card balance or even just get a head start on saving for the expenses of the holiday season.

Here’s a look at six part-time jobs you could get this summer and how much supplemental income money you could expect from just five hours of extra work per week for three months.
