I'm doing it right now!
I'm a Graduate Assistant (basically I oversee the RAs in a certain region). This pays for my housing (yay 1-bedroom apartment in Manhattan!) and meals, along with a quarterly stipend. It's pretty easy to work a second job if your "main" job is in Residential Life.
My other job is at the architectural firm I interned with this summer. I didn't have to take on an extra job (my fellowship and other job takes care of everything), but I wanted to have a little more experience when I start looking for jobs come graduation. Luckily, my boss understands that if I am to stay, my hours will have to be very flexible.
Some employers are not so understanding. Mr Munch was working two jobs--one came with benefits, the other was a part-time. The long and short of it was that the part time gig was like, "them or us." Obviously, he was smart and went with the job that pays his insurance and tuition.
