Proctor a Praxis exam to put cash in your pocket

If you're looking for an easy way to make extra cash and don't mind waking up early on a Saturday, then I'd like to clue you into a great opportunity; proctoring Praxis exams. If you're not familiar with the Praxis, it is a series of exams that would-be educators need to pass before gaining the right to teach in many states. The exams are held several times a year, mostly at local colleges who rely on paid help from the community to administer and proctor the exam.

Depending on how many sessions you work and the position you get, you could earn close to $120 for a few hours of work, and some locations will even allow you to read a book or newspaper so long as it doesn't interfere with your duties. When I recently worked the Praxis, I made close to $25 an hour and was home in time for a late lunch.
