Bay Area jobs for students that don't require a car? (I can't afford one 💀)

I go to SF State and I live in the Sunset district. I don't have a car because (a) I can't afford one and (b) parking in this city is literally a nightmare. So I rely on Muni and BART to get around.

My current job is at a retail store in Union Square. The pay is okay ($18/hr) but the commute is KILLING me. It takes an hour each way on the N Judah, sometimes longer if there are delays (which is always). That's 10 hours a week just on transit. I'm exhausted all the time and I have no time to study.

I need a job that's either:

• Close to where I live (Sunset/Richmond area)
• Close to campus
• Or fully remote

I'm a communications major so I'm open to all kinds of stuff - admin work, social media, retail, food service (maybe), anything really. I just can't do the long commute anymore. It's destroying my GPA and my sanity.

Does anyone know of good student jobs in the Sunset? Or near SF State? I've checked the campus job board but a lot of them are work-study and I don't qualify for work-study (my family makes "too much" on paper but in reality we're barely getting by).

Also, if anyone knows of remote jobs that hire SF students, drop those below. I have a laptop, wifi, and I'm good at writing and social media. I just need something that doesn't require me to spend 2 hours on a crowded train every day.

I work for Associated Students at SF State and it's been the best job I've had . They have tons of positions - event planning, marketing, admin work. It's on campus, they work around your classes, and you're not wasting time commuting. Plus it looks good on a resume because you're working for the university.

Also, if you qualify for work-study (even if you don't think you do, double check with financial aid - sometimes it's available), the Community Work-Study program through ICCE has paid internships with community organizations . They work 6-10 hours/week, in-person but usually in the city, and they're super flexible.

The Sunset has plenty of retail and food service jobs too - check Taraval Street or Noriega.
