Cleaning offices at night is a good gig if you can get it, but they usually take you on full time. It sounds like you don't need full time. If you don't need it, don't take it. 2 full time jobs will kill you. Especially if you're trying to learn something and make connections at one of them.

Have you talked to your professors about this? Ask them if they've ever had a student work while in the internship program. They might have some helpful suggestions.

At different times in my life, I've fallen back on tutoring as a source of income. You don't have to be good at something to tutor it, you just need to know all the rules inside and out. Besides, most kids don't really need a tutor, they just need a designated study time, which is what you provide. You can make about $20 an hour. If you have 2-3 students a week, that's $60-80 a week. Since you're living with your parents, that's more than enough to support yourself for the summer.

If all else fails, there's always student loans.
