Jobs around campus

If you're at uni, there may be job openings on campus! Finding a job on campus means it is easily accessible to you. You do not need to drive to work and therefore spend money on petrol. Having a job on campus means you get all that well earned money without having o factor in petrol/gas money!

On campus jobs may include:

Admin administrator (filing, photocopying, data collecting...)

Library attendant

Barista or food server

IT Specialist help

On the same line as on campus jobs, you could be able to get a cleaning job in the uni halls. A lot of these cleaning jobs offer you a room rent free but no pay. You would be paying thousands for a room so taking this offer would save you money in the long run.

Part-time jobs

As a student, you will be able to get a part time job that fits around your schedule.

Good options would be:

Costumer service (on your off days from college/uni or evenings) Work for brands you like such as your favourite clothes shops and supermarkets. A local corner shop jo would perfect because you wont have to pay for travel.

Waiter/Waitress (this one is good for evening shifts. It is one of the best options because it has the potential turn earn more due to tips.)

Babysitting (In the evenings when you're just studying, why not do it at someone elses house and get paid for it? If babysitting in the evening, most parents put their children to bed and you just need to keep a watch out for noise but apart from that, you have time for studying whilst you babysit!)

Dog walking. Perfect for dog lovers! This can actually pay quite well for a part time job!

Sell unwanted items

Vinted or Depop. Using apps such as these, you can easily sell the clothes and household items that you dont use and just sit around taking up space. These apps are easy to use and efficient for your busy schedule. You can buy packaging very cheaply on places such as amazon or ebay. I would also recommend charging a small fee for postage so you dont have to lose any profits. Dont just sell clothes, sell books and gadgets too.

Tutoring

As a student, you have the benefit of all your knowledge, and you know what they say, Knowledge is power! So, why not share your knowledge with others in need of a little extra help? It is a good deed to help others who are struggling and could potentially change their life course! Tutoring as a student is great as all the content is fresh in your mind as youre still learning too. Tutoring is probably the best paying job on this list, and although it takes a little bit of patience to teach, it is well worth it!

On this list, I have not included one of the best ways to may money as a student as this posts focus has been on part time jobs but you can out all about freelance work on my next post.

There are so many part time jobs, these have just been a few. With a quick search on job websites such as indeed, you will be able to find a plethora of part time jobs near you. Good luck on finding the perfect part time job for you!
