HOW TO MAKE MONEY AS A STUDENT

 

Going to university is a very costly thing and studying as a student at the university is a costly everyday business,and with rising tuition fees, many people can feel priced out of this opportunity. However, school students shouldn’t dismiss the idea of entering higher education just because of its costs. Not only are there several bursaries and loans you can take out these days to cover the expenses not taken care of by student loans, but there are also a number of ways you can earn money while at school.

 Here are just a few ideas on how you can raise some cash so you can really enjoy your university experience.

1. Seek part time work in the area surrounding the university.

 One of your first options to make money in the area surrounding university is a part-time job. Most universities are located in areas that abound with retail stores, and therefore, retail jobs. There is also the option of a local pub or restaurant. This may require you to be a little more flexible with your schedule, but is a steady source of income.

2.  Be a teacher or instructor and earn money while you study.

 Try putting your brains to use. Since you are already getting a top notch education, use this to generate some income. Try advertising tutoring services in your major or area of expertise. This may help you double up by earning money and getting some additional reinforcement on your studies. However, it could require some travel to reach students

3.  Make the most of your skills.

 If you’re have a particular skill, be it singing, playing a music instrument or you are especially good at a subject, you’re very lucky indeed. Not only can you carry this talent with you for the rest of your life, but you can also ‘sell your skill’ by teaching it to others.

 4. Work from home as a great option for a tight schedule.

 If you feel you are technologically savvy or have limited transportation options, working remotely might be a great opportunity for you. This allows you to work from home and is a very flexible work environment because you manage your own time. The downside is that finding work depends on your skills and qualifications, and you must be wary of scams.

5. Hosting events. 

Bring all your class mates along to a particular club, get paid, and get free drinks all night. Only requirement is that you get people in. 

6.  Become a sports coach or referee.

 Finally, if you’re interested in sports, why not become a sports coach or referee for a youth league? if you have some experience in any sport, you can ref more prestigious games and get paid more. To give this one a try, contact your local league in the state or your school sport leagues as early as possible; chances are you will need training and certification.
