Economic Stimulus Package
Money worries keeping you up at night? AOL’s Money & Finance blog, WalletPop.com, advises that there are good part-time gigs to be had this spring, thanks to No Child Left Behind.
“If you’re interested in picking up a few bucks without lifting anything heavier than a pencil,” WalletPop blogger Tom Barlow writes, you can make $11 to $12 an hour grading the composition portions of NCLB’s standardized tests – ”Easy money, if you ask me.”
What’s more, the job is fun!
“My experience has been that the younger the student, the more entertaining the answers,” Barlow says.
If NCLB hasn’t exactly been great for education, maybe it can be good for the economy. Still, given all of our stress around standardized testing, it’s a little disconcerting to see it framed as an amusing way to make an easy buck.
