3. Animal Shelter Worker
$13.59/Hour
If you love animals, I don’t think that you should go further in searching for high paying part time jobs for high school students in NYC, since NYC offers a wide range of centers that are willing to employ high school students. This job may also be a great practice for those who dream of becoming veterinarians or work with animals in their future. However, you must be aware of the fact that this job does not include only cuddling and playing with animals, as well as finding them new homes and places to stay, but also dealing with sick, even dying ones, which is not always an easy task.
