Yes, I need advice. Basically, my college program has a co-op segment and at some point in time I'm going to have to quit my current terribly god awful job for, at the very least, 3~ months. Since I'd still like to make some money and come out of this glorious 3-month break doing something else, I thought I'd do the smart thing - ask random knuckleheads on the internet for financial advice on alternative methods of making money in the mean time.

Start making YouTube videos about dumb shit. If you are not funny or interesting at all and have zero personality, you'll have 250K+ subscribers by the end of the first week.

Unfortunately, you might have a hard time finding a temp job since Jan-March is the slow season for most consumer focused companies (retail/restaurants/etc). I knew a few folks who did landscaping and house painting, but those jobs don't open up until the summer time.

However, since you are a student, I would strongly recommend you start looking into a gov. student summer job now. Nearly every gov. agency has opened up the application process for them and not only will it look good on your resume, but it will also prove to be a great learning experience. I'm not sure what is available to you at the municipal level, but you can find Ontario gov agency jobs here: https://www.gojobs.gov.on.ca/Search.aspx

Also, a good chunk of co-ops do pay, so it is probably best to ask once your placement has been decided.

Oh yeah I guess I should've explained more. My co-op is going to be in the summer because I'm in a "fast track" course because I started in January. To be precise, it's July-August. I'll be quitting sometime around June. Gov jobs are something I'll need to look into honestly, so thanks for reminding me about that.

The co-op isn't paid because it's not allowed or something like that, because of the program I'm in I think. The location can offer to pay me for time outside of the co-op but that's never guaranteed.

Ah okay, then I would go with landscaping then. If you are not into manual labour, you could probably find a store or restaurant that would be willing to only give you weekend shifts. Most managers/owners are sympathetic towards students and are willing to give a great deal of flexibility when it comes to scheduling.

Do you speak multiple languages? Do you have customer service experience?

You could always try for a work-from-home Content Specialist or Customer Care Agent job if that's the case. I got a part-time job as a CS due to my fluency in French/English, but I believe jobs that require you to be on the phone (customer care, etc) tend to accept English-only speakers, if you manage to be up to their expectation. Of course, any such job requires you to fill specific shifts, so it can be troublesome if you don't have any free time during, say, the weekend, and the job asks for weekend agents.

It's also a shit job because... customer service, heh.
