It is often said that a student's life has two embarrassing constants: “I will surely start early next semester” and “Dad, I need some money for…” Now, what if I told you, there is a way to get rid of one of them? ;)
As a student, the investment your parents have been doing since your early days seems a bit too heavy a burden to carry in itself, add to that the regular demands for additional money that you need for one thing or the other. It is a condition that you want to get out of yourself. This post aims to tackle that very problem and guide you on how to earn in college and carve a way for you to walk towards financial independence.
Online part time jobs in Nepal can help students not only with financial gains but also to develop skills better, manage time and utilise resources efficiently. With the internet, and a device (a computer or even a mobile phone), one can easily search for jobs, apply and start working to make good money. There are a lot of paths that one can choose from, which might make your decision a bit hard at first. However, just like my teacher used to tell me once, life is a series of hits and trials until it is not. Trying is all we can do, isn’t it?
Working part-time even if you have enough resources is beneficial for you in the long run. It helps enhance your soft skills, like communication, presentation, and management and makes you a better learner, exposing you to different environments that you cannot ever get if you become limited to your classrooms.
Sighs….let’s now look at the prospects you have if you have decided to follow the path of independence.
If you have always been that friend who had to review others essays (or even write them), are the go-to friend for the caption for your best friend’s new post or are the bookworm that you are, then this is probably for you. With new businesses emerging each day on the internet, content writers are one of the most heavily demanded personnel in the market. With each new or existing company opening their own website, this path poses limitless potential.
Writing for reputable outlets including well-known businesses, websites, television networks, magazines, and newspapers can bring in a sizable income. The demand for content writing exists in all languages and dialects. You simply need to keep in mind to leave your readers in awe every time they read your writing.
Pro tip: Make sure to develop a habit of reading if you already haven’t.
Pro tip++: Learn about SEO and keyword management if you are looking to find a career in this field.
Another of the part-time jobs in Kathmandu for students in 2022 is teaching. You can always start out by personally teaching some kids around your neighbourhood. Once you get some experience and confidence, you can go to the schools near you and try your luck there, see if they have vacancies. Teaching others can be a good way of exploring oneself and finding out newer methods to learn yourself. Bonus points to this path since it would be helping you with your presentation skills, which is one of the most important skills you need to polish in the 21st century.
Pro tip: Try to manage your classes in a specific shift so that you save time.
Mindless scrolling of social media bothers you once in a while, sure. However, haven’t you had moments where you looked at a video and thought, “I could have easily made better content than this?”, or caught yourself searching “how to get paid on TikTok for views?”
Creating content has been so easy, especially with the advent of TikTok, followed by similar implementations in their platforms like YouTube Shorts, you can make anything that you deem relevant and upload it to such platforms, which can earn you a meaningful sum. There are many examples of people who have profited a lot just by uploading content to those platforms. So if you are worried about your addiction to social media, maybe look to make it your source of income! Who knows, you might just hit the next 1m followers in the next month ;)
Pro tip: Try to bring in as much authentic content as possible. People usually do not like copied content.
With all the insurance agencies around, it is certain that they need customers. And the customers are the people who buy their claim that they will be benefited in case of any event involving risk. That gap between the agencies and the potential customers is bridged by insurance agents. As an insurance agent, you need to have good communication skills and the power to persuade others. The advantage of this job over others is that you don’t need to give fixed hours for this. Even while you are down in your favourite tea shop down the road, if you can convince your fellow tea-drinker-friend to buy an insurance scheme, by telling him about the risks this fleeting life poses, viola, you have made a good sm for yourself. Therefore, this is a sort of add-on to any other path that you undertake. So what are you waiting for? Rush to the job portals of Nepal and search for part-time job vacancies that this sector provides.
I’m sure we all have used a ride-sharing app at least once in our lives. And during that, we surely talked about a thing or two with our rider during our journey. Many have testified that it is one of the best options for part-time jobs in Nepal and that they even make a living completely out of it. So if you have a ride already (and some time to spare, of course), then delving into the world of ride-sharing apps like Pathao or Indriver can be a great way to earn for yourself, and even occasionally support your family in need.
Adding to it, online shopping and food delivery businesses have also seen a rise in popularity since COVID and therefore providing employment to many. Platforms like Daraz, Sastodeal, Pathao Foods, Bhoj, etc. have especially been providing delivery jobs to many young people along with attractive additional offers, so you might want to keep an eye out if they open vacancies.
Pro tip: If you are looking to buy a ride and want to pursue this path as your part-time choice, better get one with good fuel efficiency.
If you are someone who has found the lights around the room fascinating and has an aptitude for colours, then photography is probably what you will have for passion. In such a case, what if I told you, you can turn that passion into a good sum that you can even make for a full-time career? Photographers are one of the most in-demand resource persons all over the world. They are required in every moment of life and with the advent of better camera equipment, their skills are being acknowledged and are constantly being paid better.
Therefore, if you have a camera lying around and know a thing or two about capturing colours, then don’t miss a moment and start looking for photography gigs.
Pro tip: YouTube has a lot of resources on how you can improve your skills as a photographer, so learn from there, grab a photogenic friend and make the most of your day out in their photoshoot ;)
While capturing photos lies more on the real spectrum, designing falls towards the more artistic side of the graph. It is where you pick up your brushes, bring out your palette and experiment with colours as you did in your childhood. There are lots of programs that can get you started on this path, like Figma and Adobe Illustrator, along with many courses freely available on YouTube.
In addition, as a part of AITM Skill Academy, the Graphics Designing course is even provided to the students at AITM free of charge, aiming to help you headstart your new career. This job can even take the form of your full-time endeavour since it pays a lucrative sum anywhere in the world.
For a student of IT, it needn’t be said, however, possibly being the best-paying field among this list, it had to be said. Web development is one of the most demanded and best-paid jobs in the world right now, and set to be exactly that for a while in the future as well since web apps are said to be the future of the internet. All it takes for you to start is a computer, an internet connection and the motivation to learn. The path is hard, sure, however, the reward is sweet. Therefore, if you are an IT student, better learn it all as soon as possible and browse for part-time IT jobs in your favourite job portal. If you are not a student of IT, even then, the art and skill of coding will never be irrelevant at this time with such diversity in the trends of technology.
Pro tip: Do projects as you go on learning rather than just follow the video tutorials.
Pro tip++: Make a habit of reading rather than just watching videos.
A job of a barista always fascinated me, since they got to work in such mesmerizing coffee-filled rooms on a daily basis. Now, I cannot say for sure if everyone feels the same way, but you can’t argue that the job of a barista is a fun one. The mere thought of being in charge of what shape I make for the couple sitting at that table across the room fills me with excitement *laughs in evil*.
While a Barista is closely related to the degree of BHM, the training can be taken by anyone interested and get started with it. With a similar intention, AITM Skill Academy has been providing our students with training on this front free of cost so that our students can catch the rope of independence from early on.
You can easily find a part-time job for this one and not to mention, it even pays very well. So if you are looking to invest some in learning a skill that you can quickly monetize, I would place my bets on this ;)
While trading shares is a risky business, and sometimes seen as a gamble, it makes you money, nonetheless. For a student, I wouldn’t suggest going for feats such as shorting and such, however, this final point in this article would be the safe deposit for the money that you earn from the previous nine (or other options, of course) paths mentioned here.
The share market is extremely volatile, however, there are certain companies that will just not go into loss in the considerable future. Hence, a suggestion to you is to allocate a bit of money from your every income, research the market well, find some good long-term investment options and buy shares of them. If you do not know how to make money in the stock market for beginners, then I suggest you do some research before diving into this path. Now, if you have a background in such analytics, then there is no voice telling you to stop trading, however, for new faces, the buy-and-hold strategy would be the least demanding and best yielding.
There is no absolute when it comes to choosing a field to work in. Since you are just starting your life, don’t be afraid to hit some trials. Don’t be afraid if you fail on your first attempt. There are literally hundreds of things that you can choose from. The only thing you should be concerned about at first is not to stop trying. Remember, the sooner you are out of your own cage, the better you understand what is yet to come in life.
