Maybe Snooki should consider MTV just a part-time job.

She was paid $17,500 to show up at Arizona entrepreneur Jason Hope’s $500,000 holiday party, according to tmz.com.

Hope also coughed up $12,500 apiece for “The Hills” stars Lauren Bosworth and Stephanie Pratt and a whopping $15,000 for “Kardashians” stepdad Bruce Jenner.
