Most students don't normally work and sometimes majority of them suffer from lack of enough funds to see to their daily problems. The parents give you what they think you need but that doesn't solve them all. We are still left with so many other needs and we have to cater to them. We have to do some things that will also give us enough time to study our books and attend lectures effectively. The issue is that not all fingers are equal.

Some students have all their needs supplied by their parents and they do not need to do anything extra. The second set of students have only the basics supplied by their parents and sponsors.

They have to source out means to take care of their remaining needs. They have to do some little jobs that will let them be up to date academically while still taking care of their little problems as students.

Can I be working as a student?

The answer is yes. There are students that take care of themselves and yet they live comfortably. You can be making a decent amount of money working and studying. According to Reporter247.org, only about 15% of the 2018 national budget was allocated to education. We really have to think out of the box.

Which jobs can I pick up as a student?

There are so many career opportunities for students. However, we have to be wise in our selection. We need jobs that will give us enough time to take care of our academics while still making money on our own.

We all want to be financially buoyant and it does not happen on a platter of gold. Some of the careers we can pick up include:

1. Internet jobs: There are so many opportunities on the internet. You can start one of them and build up your own empire in that. It's all about passion and you will see yourself succeeding. Some of the jobs you can do online include blogging, freelancing, affiliate marketing and taking surveys.

While blogging takes a little more time than the rest to start generating enough money for you, it is also a good choice. Affiliate marketing will be a good choice if you have friends who normally shop online. You can convince them into buying through your links and you get a percentage of their purchases. Surveys are not so lucrative but freelancing is the best.

You do not need any capital to do it and you can be getting paid every day.

2. Selling items: If you are the hardworking type, you can use this to supplement your internet career. You can sell anything from clothes to earrings and even gadgets and edibles. Your fellow students will be great customers.

3. Site work: This should be limited to the weekends because they sap your strength. However, if you can do some daily jobs at any nearby sites then you can get paid for them.

4. Part-time jobs: You can pick up a part-time job in any organization or firm close to you. Make sure they pay well because some part-time jobs are really poor in payments. Weekends are always the best time to do these jobs.
