Student Side Hustle — Pace University, NYC
Lower Manhattan and the Financial District are where Pace sits. It's one of the most expensive parts of the city. And whether you live in a dorm on Beekman Street or commute in from Queens or Brooklyn, your expenses are real.
Pace is known for its business programs. So let's talk numbers. Shift pays $20/hr to record everyday tasks at home — cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands. No interview. No commute to a job site. Two hours a day = $1,200/month.
That's a simple business case. Time goes in. Money comes out. The inputs are tasks you're already doing.
Why Shift works for Pace University students
Pace students split between commuters and residents. Both groups have one thing in common: a home base where they spend time doing everyday tasks.
If you live in the dorms, your dorm room and the building's common kitchen or laundry room are your recording spaces. If you commute from Brooklyn, Queens, or Staten Island, your apartment at home is your location.
Business school loads are heavy but front-loaded. You have stretches of intense work followed by stretches of relative downtime. Shift earns during the slower days without you having to carry it during crunch time — no minimum hours, no quota.
And for students who already work part-time, Shift adds hours that don't require leaving campus or your home. It fits in the gaps.
What to record
- Cooking a meal — Dorm kitchen or home kitchen. Record from start to finish.
- Cleaning your room or apartment — Floors, surfaces, organization. All valid.
- Laundry — The full routine from sorting to putting away.
- Grocery or errand runs — Record the trip out and back.
- Tidying shared spaces — Common areas, kitchens, lounges. These count too.
What you can earn
$20 an hour. Two hours a day. $1,200 a month.
Pace tuition is not cheap. Neither is living anywhere near Lower Manhattan. An extra $1,200 a month means the difference between stressing about your card declining and actually having a buffer.
