University life can be quite challenging, especially in a foreign land. Students have to balance up the 3 areas of university life, which are good grades, social life, and enough sleep and rest. By adding a job into the mix, university life becomes even more challenging.
It is therefore very important to wisely choose a job that will not disturb your education but at the same time offer a chance to earn an extra income to cover personal expenses and tuition. Here are a few tips for a good part-time job:
Find a job that you can easily access and that is closer to your place of residence or university
Decide whether you want to work for pay or to get experience
Choose a job that will not make your studying impossible. Some jobs have night and weekend shifts that may affect your education.
Choose a job that is relevant to your area of study if you want to gain experience.
