Weekend jobs are doing great lately, as they're considered a nice employment opportunity for different kinds of people. Whether you're a mother who needs to take care of the little ones during the week, or a student who needs some extra money, weekend jobs can be a very efficient solution to a very nasty problem. It can be a second job too, who said you have to rest and watch TV on Saturday afternoon? A weekend job could thus easily provide a second income. In a way, it's like working at a part time job, except you only work when you have less to do!
As any traditional job, depending on your current status and field of expertise, they come in different sizes and shapes. On many websites or newspapers you'll see ads specifically oriented toward college students or recent grads, perhaps looking forward to pay back those student loans. The most common weekend jobs are usually related to:

-Retail or shopping center: they sure need some extra hand on the weekends!
-Waiter or waitress: perhaps the most common job for students of all ages
-Tutor: again, why don't you give private lessons? There are a lot of fellow students out there who could use some help!
-Health care: hospitals don't shut down on weekends, and they're always looking for nurses
-Housekeeping: some people don't have time to clean the house during the week and are too tired to do it on the weekend
These are just a few ideas, I'm sure you won't find any difficulty in finding a job in this area. Another booming field is e-work, you can work on-line during the weekends and still be around your loved ones while making a reasonable amount of money. If you're a student I'm sure you can put your education on the market pronto, writing short essays or articles which can be sold easily. Even if you are not familiar with the common office software or you don't have a higher education, look out for data entry jobs. Word on the street is that they can be boring, but they sure make the extra buck at the end!
