I guess jobs pay more out here in CA because it's more expensive to live. I've had a few part time jobs, and the best one was working at the Undergrad admissions office. I got paid $10/ hr and didn't have to work a specific shift (I got to make my own hours- it was lovely!). Also, I now code for a psych study run through the hosptial. It's interesting, and pays $12/hr.
other things to try:
Teaching for Kaplan or the Princeton Review (if you got a good score on yor SAT or graduate entry exams, you can make $17-$25/ hr).
Tutoring
Front desk hotel shifts in the evening. Hardly anyone checks in at 11pm on a Tuesday, so you can do homework.
On-Campus: Bookstore, Library, Tour guide.
Temp work through a temp agency
Working for a department on campus.
Working for research studies. Sometimes they will pay you to be a research assistant!
Being an RA, or other dorm staff (frequently you get free housing!).
