I work part-time for a company that specializes in aviation career counseling and interview prep.

Substitute teaching is also good if you can stand it. With a BA, I made just under $100 per day. It is perfect for pilots because you can set your own schedule and work when you want. The down side is that it isn't for the faint of heart. It is hard work. The low point for me was when I lost a fourth grader.

Additionally, with respect to savings, my recommendations are when you first get your pay raise, don't go right out and buy a new car or something. Get yourself out of debt. Your paycheck looks a lot bigger when you aren't sending thousands off to the credit card and student loan companies every month. If you don't have a car loan, you can scale back your car insurance and save money there as well.

Also, start saving while you are used to living on nothing. If you get used to spending your pay raise, it will be that much harder to start saving later.

And if you don't take advantage of your company's 401k matching funds, you are a moron. You are turning down free money. If you end up eating dog food in your retirement because the Democrats let social security go bankrupt, you'll have no one to blame but yourself.
