Postmates as a Great Side Gig for PAs
After finishing PA school, and before getting your first job as a PA, there can be a short time when you need an income. You will no longer have student loans to cover your living expenses, and will soon have a hefty student loan payment.
Luckily, student loan payments are currently deferred, interest-free. However, there are still other expenses that you might need to pay, like rent, bills, groceries, etc.

If you need a flexible job to earn extra money while you wait, you could sign up with Postmates, it’s free to sign up and fast to get started. There are no fees or time commitments, so you take home 100% of what you earn every time you complete a delivery.
One thing that has been in high demand since the start of the Covid-19 restrictions has been delivery services. This is a very flexible way to earn extra money, and you are in control of when you work.
Another great thing about this is that you can continue to do it as a side gig once you land your first PA job. A great way to pay off your student loans in a hurry is to have two sources of income. One income dedicated to your regular living expenses and the other income goes completely towards your student loans.
Many PAs were furloughed or laid-off as a result of the Covid-19 lock-down and are now looking for a new position, creating extra competition for PA jobs. In previous years there has been good job growth for PAs, but this year might be different.
With close to 10,000 new grads looking for jobs, according to the NCCPA profile report, there is an influx of new PAs hitting the job market. Don’t wait around for a job to find you, look for a new position as if it were a full-time job. When you’re not actively looking for a PA job, earn extra income with side gigs, such as delivering for Postmates. Deliver with Postmates and earn on your schedule, no commitments or fees!
