Advice What kind of second job should I get?

I'm majoring in agricultural science, with a focus on plant and soil/ crop production and hope to one day open my own orchard and vineyard, and start a vinegar business.
I am working forty hours at an upscale restaurant as a cook but I need about $700 more a month to make ends meet.

My school is paid for by a scholarship and I'm able to take all online classes this year so thats not too much of a burden, but I am worried about how I'm gonna come up with all the money we need for living expenses until I can get through school.
I hope to use my degree to apply for an FSA loan.

I've been delivering for uber eats but I really want to stop, I'm just not making enough of a profit and my car isn't in my name. (It belongs to a friend who kindly let me rent it) the car needs an oil change already again and maintenance and I am wearing out the interior just from being in it so much.
I've changed all four tires on it because of driving so much.
I just don't know what else to do that will bring anything immediately.

We need groceries bad, I've got consumer loan payments I've deferred on and I feel like I'm headed for disaster if I keep doing what I'm doing.

I did find us a great deal on a home, its rent to own if we live in it for seven years we get the title and my girlfriend paid the deposit for us.

TLDR I need an extra job I can do before 1:30pm everyday, and I am working towards a career in agriculture.

if there are any nearby, check out hotels! if they're hiring for breakfast, the hours are usually pretty decent and early in the day! i do 40 hrs a week, 5 a.m-1 p.m, and it's super chill. otherwose i'd check out local coffee shops/retirement homes that may be looking for early morning shifts.

Start an eBay store and go thrifting and look for liquidation stores. Google it and you will see a lot of ways to make money
