Students are always short of money. Many of them leave their parents’ home and have to earn their living themselves.
The others are not able to live for the whole month on the money provided by their relatives. The third group wishes to implement their desires and wishes in life and also need money. These and many other reasons make modern youth look for full or part-time jobs. The latter variant is more suitable for them as they also need time for studying, so let’s see what part-time jobs are the most popular among modern students.

2. Babysitting
Another very popular job is a babysitter. Modern parents appear to be very busy as they have to earn money to feed their kids. At the same time, both of them need time for rest without children. Of course, it would be right to hire a nanny or ask a granny to take care of them, but it happens that relatives live too far away or have no desire, while a nanny is too expensive. That is why children are often entrusted to students who are able to look after them and do not take much money for this favor. Several hours spent with kids might both be engaging and bring about profit. However, not only children need care. Students are also asked to take care of pets as well as elderly people.
3. Sales representative

Students are often welcomed for this position as there is a flexible schedule and their enthusiasm works better than one of the adults. Eloquent young people, neat and well dressed, attract customers better, especially if a sales representative gets a percentage from the sold goods.
