Rjob has two news for students. One of them can hardly be called good - the other day, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Government Olga Golodets denied rumors about the imminent increase in scholarships for university students. According to the official, in 2015-2016 the state will not increase them to the average subsistence level - 10,017 rubles. Economic conditions do not allow. Yes, it’s sad, but there is second news - organizations in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities of the country have become more willing to use student labor, and universities are trying to organize classes taking into account their employment.

In Russia, scholarships are the subject of eternal jokes. It is low even for excellent students, who receive about 7 thousand rubles a month. The average amount is even less - 1,700 rubles. A student, especially a nonresident student, will not last even a week on them. But what if young people only pay 2000-5000 rubles a month for a hostel?

It’s a shame to strain moms and dads; dreaming about treasures and random freebies is stupid and undignified. It's time to work. In the first year it is unrealistic to find time for this - there are no free “windows” in the schedule, but in the second or third year - please. As a rule, dean's offices divide students into groups: some study in the first half of the day, others in the afternoon. Few institutes and universities work on Saturdays, which means that boys and girls have two full days for personal purposes. Moreover, there are additional days off on even or odd weeks. In October-November, you can draw up your schedule and, focusing on it, start looking for vacancies.

For the first time

What a student will need for employment:

SNILS- individual pension insurance card number. It is received from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at your place of residence.

TIN- taxpayer identification number. It is issued by the tax office of your city.

Bank card We don’t count it - it has already been formalized at the university.

Health record or medical certificate- if suddenly you are going to work in a cafe or restaurant, with groceries or with children.

However, as practice shows, students are hired for their first job without the above documents.

Now we’re studying the list where “all kinds are important, all kinds are needed”...

Courier

Earnings from 1000 to 2000 rubles per day or 20,000 - 28,000 rubles per month

Many people think that this is boredom and vanity, running for pennies. However, in recent years, the work of foot couriers has changed greatly. In some ways it became similar to a quest. Moscow services, for example, Dostavista or Bringo, have made the work process as attractive as possible for students. They make their own schedule, choose the number of orders and addresses for delivery, and receive it at the end of the shift.

“My first trip was like a game. I registered on the website, downloaded a special application to my smartphone, and the company sent me the coordinates of its office. The speed with which I could reach them was taken into account,” says courier and second-year student Evgeniy Lishchenko. - There they instructed me, gave me the starting task, and paid me in the evening. Running around doesn’t tire me out at all, because orders are selected taking into account my address - I cut circles not far from my own home. Comfortable. I spent a day and 1500-1700 rubles fell onto the card. I want to work, I want to rest. And no one stands over your soul, you don’t have to go to the office in the morning.”

By the way, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, delivery agencies often pay couriers for travel on public transport and for office telephones.

Shop assistant

Earnings - from 15,000 rubles per month and above

Large retail chains and companies such as Zara, Gap, Marks&Spencer, Adidas and others have no problem hiring students. The easiest way is to get a job as a sales consultant.

“I didn’t call anyone, I didn’t sign up for an interview with the personnel officers, although I could have contacted the main office directly,” recalls third-year student Sergei Artyukhov.- I came to the store, took a form from the girls at the checkout, filled it out, indicated that I was ready to work four days a week. Sometimes job applicants are asked to take a written test. It's easy - not rocket science. I handed all the papers to the manager. A couple of days later they called me back and invited me for an interview. Another day later, they sent me to work in a shopping center. I receive about 18,000 rubles a month. It’s not enough for rented housing, but for a student from a dorm it’s normal.”

Dispatcher on the phone

Earnings - 15,000 - 20,000 rubles per month

“I’m studying to become a sociologist and work part-time in a medical office. At first, when my classmates pestered me with questions: “Where? How?”, I was embarrassed to answer due to the specifics of the company. Imagine, I spend hours talking on the phone about prostate massage, its benefits and prices, - laughs student Ekaterina Kutepova.- It’s good that you don’t have to call people with annoying advertisements. After about the third or fourth payday, I completely forgot about the complexes. The main thing is that I have a stable income equal to ten of my scholarships, and I’m not sitting on my mother’s neck at the age of 19.”

Ticket inspector at a theater or cinema

Earnings - 18,000 - 24,000 rubles per month

They also have a rotating schedule. Usually 2/2. In theaters, students work from 17:00 to 21:30 on weekdays, and on weekends - from morning to evening. In cinemas, the working day ends late at night, but employees are transported home by company transport.

Bonuses include free viewing of films and performances. By the way, in some Moscow theaters students of theater universities - future artists - work as controllers.

Tutor

Earnings - from 500 to 2000 rubles per hour

If in the recent past a student passed the Unified State Exam perfectly and studies at a university with straight A's, he can easily convert knowledge into money - work.

“I found clients at my former school. I study physics and mathematics with two ninth-graders,” explains Baumanka student Nikolai Shepilov.- I’m preparing them for the State Examination. Old books and notebooks came in handy. I bought new manuals and talked with teachers so that there were no discrepancies with the programs. I charge 700 rubles per hour. I teach lessons on free days, in breaks between seminars and lectures. The boys' parents say that progress is noticeable, but I'm not rushing to conclusions - we'll look at the certification results. I'm interested in them too."

Active people have 25 hours in a day

You can continue the list of vacancies yourself. There will be a place for waiters, interviewers, department laboratory assistants, copywriters, loaders... There are plenty of options for internships and subsequent employment. Anyone who wants to work will definitely find something to their liking.

Nowadays, employers do not pay attention to the work experience and age of candidates; for them, their quality, motivation, and ability to learn quickly are more important. And you can’t take that away from students.

The sooner students get used to the idea that active people have 25 or more hours in a day, the easier it will be for them in the future.

Students, by definition, are those people who need money more than others. When you are a student, you want to live beautifully, buy good clothes, travel, relax while you are young and full of energy. But asking parents to pay for school and rent for money for entertainment is simply inconvenient. In such cases, most of those who “gnaw on the granite of science” are puzzled by finding a job. Fortunately, quite successfully.

Let's try to figure out how and in what industries a student can earn money so that their academic performance and attendance do not suffer.

Barriers to employment

Let's analyze what can prevent a student from finding a suitable job:

• Serious workload with studies or social activities: attending lectures, electives, various events will not allow you to be at your place of work for 8 hours;
• Lack of experience prevents employment in a position with high wages;
• Starting your own business is frightening due to financial difficulties and large time costs.

Advantages and disadvantages of working while studying

Gone are the days when student years were considered carefree and easy. Now this statement is more than controversial. Most senior students are trying to combine study and work; they do not have much free time for ordinary student entertainment.

Let us dwell in more detail on the positive side of this rhythm of life:

• Experience is gained until graduation;
• If you manage to get a job related to your specialty, you will have an understanding of whether this is the business to which you want to devote your life;
• Young people who worked during their student years take money more seriously, because they know how hard it is to earn it.

The negative aspects are quite obvious:

• Problems with studies. Often the educational process takes a back seat;
• Overwork. A strenuous rhythm can cause fatigue;
• The employer demands full dedication, and so do the teachers. You have to make a choice or look for a vacancy where the schedule is free.

Before looking for a job, analyze your capabilities, weigh the pros and cons.

Why do students want to combine work and study?

It’s unlikely that anyone will want to get used to the status of a “poor student.” And from the 2nd-3rd year, many begin to think about how to correct this situation. It is difficult for first-year students to combine both study and work, due to the fact that they are just adapting to independent life.

In the first year, it is easy to be expelled for poor academic performance, so you should pay maximum attention to your studies. But second-year students may well think about earning money.

The main reasons for wanting to combine work and study are the following:

• Work allows you to avoid getting into debt;
• There is no need to save on the most basic things: food and clothing;
• It is possible to relieve some of the financial burden from parents;
• For students studying for a fee, “extra” money will always come in handy: tuition fees may be increased, and you should always be prepared for this.

There are several opportunities to successfully combine earnings with study. For example, officially contact the dean’s office for permission to freely attend lectures, or reach individual agreements with each teacher.

But it is worth remembering that the world does not revolve around the student and not all teachers welcome such a combination. Many people think that a student’s job is to study well, while others think that your desire to become more independent is commendable.

In any case, you need to clearly justify your request for a free schedule for attending classes. Nobody needs problems, so you definitely won’t have any concessions during tests and exams.

The main thing is that the desire to combine work and study does not turn into chasing “two birds with one stone”, which will not lead to anything good.

But, if you think about it, even taking into account all the negative factors, it is possible for a student to make money if you approach solving the problem seriously.

Nowadays, many students are interested in the issue of additional income. They strive to escape from the care of their parents and become independent. The old methods of making money are no longer suitable for many students. Few people want to unload wagons, do minor office work, or go pick potatoes. You also won’t earn much as a courier, waiter, or system administrator without a full work week. More and more students are starting to look for new ways to make money, including on the Internet.

Before you start your search, it is better to find out in more detail about what awaits a young man or girl online and remember that there is no easy money, if they tell you about “mountains of gold”, then this is a scam from which, at best, your pocket will suffer, and at worst, your personal freedom.

Students who live on one scholarship want to find a decent way to earn money. But the supply on the labor market is limited for them, and this is due, first of all, to the fact that they are forced to spend most of their time on something completely different. So, what obstacles stand in the way of a student looking for a job?

Engagement in educational and social activities

Many students take a responsible approach to the educational process and attend additional classes and electives. A lot of time is also spent on participating in social work, because youth is a time when you want to do everything and try everything.

Lack of necessary professional skills and work experience

There is a certain vicious circle here. Employers, on the one hand, want to see young and ambitious people in their teams, and on the other hand, experienced and highly qualified ones.

Fear

This is also a completely objective reason. Fear holds young people back; they are afraid to start a business because they lack confidence in their own abilities.

Wrong judgments

Many students have a completely wrong psychological attitude - work after studying. While you’re young, you need to “go for a walk.”

If all these problems were somehow resolved, fear went away, moral attitudes changed, self-confidence appeared, and the issue of time was resolved through the acquisition of strict planning skills, then the question arises of what to choose: a permanent job, a part-time job or your own case?

Choosing between work, part-time work and business

Job

This option is more suitable for part-time students who have a lot of free time, especially during the intersession period. The best option would be a job that is somehow related to your future profession. It is clear that you will have to start from the very bottom, but no one forbids moving up the career ladder. To find a decent option, make a resume as detailed as possible, distribute it to all known Internet resources and wait, or send it to those employers whose offers you are very interested in. And don’t despair if they refuse at first. This is what always happens in the beginning.

Part time job

Part-time work is a good option for full-time students whose study time is not interrupted. For example, in the morning - to classes, and in the evening - to work. It is clear that such a schedule is quite difficult, but, as mentioned above, there is no easy money.

Own business

Business is a job for the brave, those who are not afraid to take risks and have what is called a commercial spirit. You can try to make money by selling goods and services by becoming a freelance sales agent. You can find such a job on the Internet, or you can also try to make money on the popular Avito website. Here you can resell your own and other people’s goods, including a certain percentage in the price, which will constitute your own income.

In general, working for Avito is quite simple.

I repeat once again that you can sell anything and however you want on Avito. Experience has proven that intermediaries earn quite a lot of money here. The main thing is not to be lazy and find a client interested in promoting your goods and services, whose intermediary you can become. This type of work does not take much time, so it is quite suitable for students.

Of course, earning money on Avito is only an isolated example of building your own business. There can be a lot of options; they are limited only by your own imagination.

Seven advanced ways to make money as a student

Young, advanced students are usually looking for a type of income from which the income will far exceed the effort expended (after all, students are reluctant to be hired for highly paid positions due to their lack of education). You can consider several unusual ways for a student to make money on the Internet.

Writing abstracts, term papers and dissertations, information articles

Services for writing intellectually rich texts can be promoted on various freelance exchanges, such as Fl.ru or Kwork.ru. By the way, on Kwork the minimum payment for one completed task is 500 rubles. This is decent pay and, if you wish, you can earn good money from the project.

To register on Kwork.ru click:

You can also try to start working on copyright exchanges, performing various tasks for writing informational or selling texts (this work is not very difficult, but SEO copywriting pays very well).

The best article exchanges

1. Etxt.ru
2. Advego.ru
3. Textsale.ru

Online consultations and video tutorials

You can give consultations via Skype, work as a tutor, or develop lessons that you can post on your own YouTube channel. Then, when the channel becomes popular, you can receive money for advertising that will be placed while the video is shown.

Writing computer programs

This may well be a part-time job for technical students. Orders can also be found on freelance exchanges. This allows you not only to have a stable additional income, but also to develop your own programming skills. By the way, many teachers are sympathetic to this kind of part-time work for their students, some even assign tests “automatically” after demonstrating achievements (written programs). This kind of work pays very well, you can earn from 500 to 700 dollars a month (the main thing is to write your resume correctly and enlist the support and recommendations of those clients who liked your work).

Earning money on social networks and affiliate programs

Making money on social networks is a reality of our time. There are a huge number of ways, but the highest income can come from your own (quite popular) group with a large number of subscribers (from 15 thousand). You can earn money from such a group using affiliate links, and clients themselves will find you and offer you work. One affiliate link, inserted in the context of a topic discussion in a group, can cost from 10 to 100 dollars, so the earnings will be quite decent.

Popular sites for making money on social networks

Earn money on your own blog or website

The main task here is to find your own (interesting to you) topic and secure the attention of the target audience. Nowadays, you no longer need to know programming to create your own resource, you don’t have to have copywriting skills, the main thing is to have a desire to develop your website or blog, and pay as much attention to it as possible. When the number of visits to the resource reaches 200 per day, clients will find you and offer cooperation in placing banners, contextual advertising and much more. A well-promoted website can generate high income (up to 200,000 thousand per month). Of course, there are costs involved (paying for a domain name, hosting, unique content, etc.), but they are worth it.

Making money on your own website or blog is a job for creative and not lazy students who are ready to spend all their free time on SEO promotion of their brainchild.

Business on the Internet

This will require some skills and knowledge of the basics of entrepreneurship and information technology.

You can do:

• sale of various training courses (developed independently and patented);
• freelancing (designers, web programmers, and specialists in the field of Internet marketing are especially popular with customers; by the way, on the site work-zilla.com the widest audience of customers);
• creating your own website or online blog (for further earnings on affiliate programs);
• creating an online store (this also requires certain skills and costs, but there is no connection to the area, which means the number of potential buyers is very large).

Earning money on Twitter

Making money on Twitter is becoming a fashionable and very real way (more than 400 million subscribers ensure the interest of various types of marketers specializing in online sales and business promotion). There are quite a lot of options, but the point still comes down to placing links and advertising posts. Although you can also make money by launching a commercial microblog, monetizing a profile picture (background), and developing plugins. Twitter is a resource where everyone can find something to do that can increase their material well-being. By the way, investments are not needed to promote a microblog on Twitter. All you need is registration on the network, having your own account with working functions and options. It is best to find customers on Twite or QComment, as well as Socaltools, Blogger, Plibber.

How not to make money on the Internet

It’s worth saying right away that searching for work on the Internet can lead to offers to participate in various kinds of adventures, frauds and financial pyramids. If you are offered some kind of “easy” job for which they will pay unrealistic money, be wary. Never send your passport details to anyone (scammers use them to take out loans, open fly-by-night companies, through which they then withdraw money).

You should never risk your good name and your money for the sake of a “mythical” get-rich-quick scheme.

Of course, all these options are not a quick way to real enrichment. Nobody makes thousands of dollars lying on the couch. The choice to make money on the Internet must be taken seriously. After all, customers (even online) love efficient and serious-minded employees. You need to do your work honestly and efficiently, then you can earn serious money, which will help you in the difficult student life, as well as a reputation that will help you develop in the future. And yet, you should not forget about studying, because a profession is necessary in order to get a serious job and make a career in the future, even if this serious work will be on the Internet, which is currently quite possible.

Earning money on the Internet for a student: recommendations and methods updated: April 14, 2019 by: admin

Publication date: 09/22/2017 6475

During their student years, many people think about work, or, more precisely, about making money. And like many students, at one time I was looking for such methods of earning money for students. Moreover, I considered for myself both making money on the Internet and making money off the Internet.

Even before my student years, I worked as a loader in a warehouse in the summer. The work was quite calm and the pay was good. Over the summer I managed to earn up to 40,000 rubles, which was good money for me at 15-16 years old. But to be honest, I always dreamed of working for myself, and not for others. And from a very early age this idea lived in me, but I did not understand what I could do, and how I could earn money as a full-time student. And in this article I will tell you what I would recommend a student to do in order to immediately start working for himself and earn good money.

Method 2. Earning money from affiliate programs This is another type of earning money on the Internet for students, and by the way, it’s very effective. Here, from a work point of view, everything is much simpler. On the Internet there are a variety of courses, training, trainings, services, online stores that have affiliate programs. You can register for them, and as a result you will be given a special referral link that you can promote on the Internet. And when one of your potential clients clicks on this link and pays for the product, you will receive a reward. As a rule, on the Internet you can get 10-20% of the total cost through an affiliate program. It all depends on the cost of the product itself. Thus, a student can earn money for a car in 2-3 months, depending on the product. For example, we also have an affiliate program on the constructor, according to which we give 50% of payments for life. What does it mean? You can register on the constructor and receive a personal link in the affiliate program, after which you post this link and recommend our service on forums, in Vkontakte groups, etc. And as soon as users click on it and start paying for the constructor, you receive 50% of the payment amount, after that from each payment repeated for 2,3,4, etc. months you get the same 50%. And all this is for life. If you want to start making money on affiliate programs, I recommend getting acquainted with free promotion methods. This way of making money for a student on the Internet is very simple because you don’t need to create a product or service, you just need to learn how to distribute it in free ways, and the end result is no money invested at all. Example of monthly payments for two permanent partners: The first 2 columns are identifiers, they are hidden from public view. The 3rd column is the number of attracted clients for all time And the last thing is a monthly payment in rubles. Method 3. Create a portal or personal blog This is a special type of income, and it is suitable not only for students. When creating your own portal or personal blog, you will not be able to earn a lot of money right away, but this is the most long-term and surest type of income. You create your own blog or portal on a specific topic, such as fishing, sewing or cooking. And write 1 article a day every day for 2-3 years. Over time, your blog will appear in the search engine, and people will begin to read your articles, and the more high-quality interesting articles you write, the more people will come to your site. Over time, when you have a flow of 1000 - 2000 clients, you can start making good money from advertising. You can install Google and Yandex advertising and earn money on views. With a traffic of 1500 people per day, you can earn 7000-9000 rubles. per month Sell ​​advertising to potential clients, despite the fact that they themselves will write to advertise them for money. If you make 3-4 banners on the site, you can additionally earn from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles per month. And the last thing is writing advertising articles on a blog for customers, this will bring another 5,000-10,000 rubles. In total, you can earn from 20,000 to 200,000 rubles per month. (everything will depend on the number of pages and traffic flow of potential clients) But by the way, this is the surest way to provide for yourself in life at a stable level. Because Once you get a good result, you will earn money offline for the rest of your life. This is a long but sure investment. For example: We have about 500 articles on our website (at the time of writing), and about 500 clients come to our website daily from Yandex and Google searches. Today, thanks to website builders like ours, anyone can create their own blog without knowledge of programming or design. All you have to do is write interesting, quality content. Method 4. Student earnings by creating an online store I started my business history with this type of income. I started by selling weight loss belts, and already in my 4th year, as a student, I had an income of 90,000 -120,000 rubles per month. on sale of belts. You can read the detailed history of the start of my online store business. It was in those years that I bought my first car, just by selling weight loss belts over the Internet. You can see it in the photo on the right. Any student can start this business, the initial investment that I needed was 10,000-15,000 rubles, this amount is affordable for almost everyone. Now you know how to earn money as a full-time student. For example: You buy a belt for 320 rubles in China. Bring him to Russia. You make the packaging: box - 60 rubles, instructions in Russian - 120 rubles. Attract clients through advertising in Yandex. 200-300 rub. costs per client. Selling for 2000 rubles. In total, you earn 1200 rubles from the sale of one product. You sell 80-100 packages per month. Detailed instructions for opening your own online store: If you choose the right product, you can earn 15,000 - 20,000 rubles per month. already in the second month of work. And after that, start creating a large online store. Method 5. Freelancer services Here we will talk about three options for freelancers: rewriters, copywriters, SEO content managers. Who are all these professions, and why do I recommend this way for a student to make money on the Internet? These are some of the most in-demand professions on the Internet today, which can be mastered by anyone with minimal education. Rewriters. These are people who take the finished text as a basis and rewrite it in their own words. They are not much valued today, but they are very much in demand, because there are more and more texts on the Internet, and our market does not yet produce such specialists, and therefore they are in great demand. A rewriter receives about 20-50 rubles for 1000 characters of text; you can earn 200-500 rubles a day. This is a good amount for students. Copywriters. These are people who come up with text on a certain topic from scratch. They get a lot more rewriters. For 1000 characters from 50 to 400 rubles. But there is a difference between copywriter and copywriter. To learn to write well and beautifully, you need to write more than one text. Mid-level specialists earn 15,000 - 20,000 rubles per month. And the last thing is SEO content managers. These are the same copywriters, only they know how to create text in the required format and use the necessary keywords in the text for future promotion in search engines. They earn from 500 to 800 rubles per 1000 characters. All these professions are easy to master, but you need to understand that you will have to write a lot. This will determine how much the student earns. But the advantages of this work are that anyone can master it. I am still a supporter of writing articles for your blog; in the future this will give greater dividends. Method 6. Creating websites and promoting them on the Internet This way of earning money for students allows the student to immediately start earning quite good money. The main idea is that you need to learn how to create websites from scratch and promote them on the Internet. Today, every student who has their own computer can master creating a website. You can learn how to make websites with us in 2-3 days of constant work. Here are some on our designer. We also have 3,000 ready-made website templates for 1,900 types of businesses on our designer, so creating a website using a template will not be a big problem. On average, you can sell the creation of a one-page website for 5,000-10,000 rubles, and the creation of a multi-page website from 12,000 to 35,000 rubles, and this is quite a good income for a student. You can also separately start making money by setting up Yandex Direct on your website. Here is an example of such a person. his name is Vladimir, he started by simply creating a website for himself: vballiance.ru, and subsequently began creating websites for his clients, and is constantly improving these sites and improving them. On average, he earns about 50,000 - 70,000 rubles from creating websites alone. months while doing what you love. Everything described above, where a student can make money and how to do it, I wrote exclusively from my experience. I did not describe earnings from clicks or from writing reviews on social media. networks, making money on likes or making money on Forex. Because I think it's just a waste of time without fundamentally developing useful skills. Yes, you can earn 50-100 rubles a day from clicks or try your luck playing forex, but it seems to me that this is just a waste of your time, and sometimes money. Learn to make money using clear strategies. All earning options for students described above can always be applied after university, and with each of these types you can build a good company with a permanent income of 500 - 600 thousand rubles per month. with the development of these skills over 2-3 years. How to earn money as a student. Lessons from Business of Youth At one time, as a student, I took youth business courses, which greatly encouraged me to start my own business from scratch. For which I am still very grateful to them. Therefore, in this article I would also like to lay out what the founders of Business of Youth think about this matter. Mikhail Dashkiev will tell you how a student can earn money on the Internet from scratch. Watch this video. It's only 9 minutes of your time. conclusions And so, what conclusions can be drawn. If I were a student today and wanted to earn money for a car or an apartment, I would definitely start with. Writing useful, interesting articles involves you in interesting work, which in 1 - 1.5 years will begin to bring constant dividends in a passive form. During your student years, for 1-2 years of blogging you can earn yourself a permanent salary of 20,000 - 30,000 rubles. per month passively. This will allow you to do what you love after graduating from university, rather than going to work for money. In parallel, I would post the same articles in the Vk group, which would add an additional audience to my blog. This is how the group would develop. Additionally, you could record interesting videos on this topic while developing your YouTube channel. This would provide me with additional income as a student. I hope this article was useful to you, write your thoughts and questions in the comments. I will try to answer if possible. Tell friends:

Where can students look for work and part-time work? Where can you work in the summer? What options are there for students to work from home via the Internet? How to avoid running into scammers? We have prepared 30 options for you for all occasions.

Employees of the HR portal website calculated how many students combine study with work, and this figure is impressive - 70%! In this article we will talk about work for students.

I myself am a student and work, like many of my friends. It is unrealistic to survive on a scholarship - at my university the standard monthly payment is set at 1,800 rubles (if you study without "Cs"). What can you buy with this amount? Just enough food for a week and a half and that’s it.

In order to somehow stay afloat, many students are forced to combine work with study. Of course, some people get help from their parents, but admit it – it’s better to start earning a living on your own as early as possible. Many people are faced with work during their student years, and this experience becomes a good support in the future or even develops into an entire career! In addition, there is no guarantee that you will be hired to work in your specialty (the banal reason is no work experience).

Fortunately, today you can find work from home or online. There is no need to search in vain for advertisements in newspapers - you can use the Internet and find any job you like. Today I, a third year student, will tell you:

• What job is most popular among young people and what is in demand?
• How much money can you get as a student?
• Is it difficult to combine work and study?
• Why do I prefer remote work?

Get ready - you will find stories from my life, stories of my student friends and a lot of useful information that will be a good help if you are looking for a job!

Remote work from home/office vs on-site work. What's better? Advantages and disadvantages

All the work that I discuss below can be divided into two types:

• Traditional (offline) work(in the office, food outlets, enterprises, and so on). The process looks like this: we look for a job in all available ways, send a resume, go through an interview, perhaps sign some documents, for example an employment contract (be careful here! Read more in the “Fraud Warning” section). Usually the first time is an unpaid internship (several days or a week). I talk about examples of such work in the next paragraph.
• Remote (online) work. The work is connected to the Internet. Professions such as programmers, web developers, copywriters, content managers, translators, SMM specialists, etc. are in demand. But there are options for those who do not consider themselves to be in any remote profession, in other words, for unskilled workers. We are talking about one-time assignments, part-time jobs, and work on an ongoing basis. Job search is carried out on special sites. Customers (i.e. employers) place an order and wait for a response from the performers (us). Our task is to competently tell about ourselves and our works (if any), and if successful, we become executors of the order. You will also learn more about this from the article.

Let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of remote work from home:

Remote work from home
Advantages	Flaws
You look the way you want. At least work in shorts.	Loneliness. I work from home, and sometimes I get bored because I'm always alone.
No need to travel to your place of work.	It's hard to make friends in this type of work. Among my friends, there are no people who are interested in freelancing, and communication with like-minded people on the Internet quickly faded away.
You can take a break for lunch or rest at any time.	Scammers may get caught.
Free work schedule.	Irregular wages. In one month you can receive 30,000 rubles, in another 10,000 rubles.
There is no strict dependence on superiors (in this case, these are customers).	High responsibility. If the customer does not like your work, he can easily refuse cooperation.
The amount of payment depends on the amount of work you complete.	Non-permanent job. I have had cases where people with whom I worked for a long time simply disappeared.
You can constantly improve your skills, which leads to higher pay.	There is no official registration with an entry in the work book, this means that there are no contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, no official work experience, and it will be difficult to prove your experience to another employer.
The ability to find regular customers (i.e. permanent work).
On freelance sites and exchanges you can “boost” your rating. For example, my rating on ETXT is 10,000 units, and the chances of getting a job are much higher than for beginners.
Getting a job is determined by skills, not appearance and age.

Now let's look at the pros and cons of traditional hired work:

Regular work in an office or factory
Advantages	Flaws
Registration based on a work book (but not everywhere, for example, they don’t apply for one-time part-time work).	There may be a dress code (uniform, formal suit, etc.).
Team work (friends, colleagues, communication).	Relationships with colleagues or superiors may not work out, which is why you will constantly experience stress.
Fixed payment.	You need to go to work (money + time).
Prizes and bonuses are possible.	Fixed schedule, you may have to get up very early, you can’t be late, lunch at a certain time.
If you establish yourself as a good worker, career growth is possible.	If you work outside, it can be difficult in hot or cold weather.
Responsibility is distributed between colleagues and superiors (you may be scolded for making a mistake, but you are unlikely to be kicked out).	There is no opportunity to go away on business.
	You need to act strictly according to the rules of the organization (no opportunity to introduce your ideas).
	Age and appearance influence getting a job.

Each of you will choose something different, based on the situation. For example, my university is located 30-60 minutes from home (a lot of time is spent on the road), so freelancing is preferable to me.

Students, unfortunately, are often the target of scammers. As a bait - “tasty” job offers. As a result, a person signs a pile of documents without reading them, and ends up with nothing, since he fell for the deception of criminals. It’s good if this only leads to the loss of a couple of thousand rubles, but there are cases much worse.

Here are a few situations that I have heard about personally:

1 Some agency. Tiny rented office in a business center. Inside there are a couple of tables, chairs and... that's it. There are a lot of phones on the tables (!!!). People offer you a job with good pay, but to do this you need to sign an agreement and make a “deposit” of a couple of thousand (which will then supposedly be returned). Next is the standard phrase “we will call you back.”

The catch is that a person signs an agreement for the provision of INFORMATION services. That is, you were informed that there is such and such activity, and that’s it, their work is over, the trap will be slammed shut, you won’t see your money and it’s useless to complain to the police/courts, since you signed the agreement in a sober mind and sound mind.

2 A little-known company that produces paint. The student got a job there, he offered to work unofficially, salary 10-30$ per day. After working for a couple of days, the man got tired of the harsh conditions and unsanitary conditions, after which he turned to his boss with a request for payment. In the end, he was told that he worked unofficially, so he would not see a salary.

3 Vacancies with training. You can stumble upon a high-paying office job for everyone. When you come for an interview, you may be offered training for a fee with subsequent employment. Having completed such paid training, you will most likely not be hired anywhere, citing the fact that you showed poor results during the training.

Network marketing companies (MLM). Network companies are often hidden behind ordinary vacancies such as driver, sales manager, sales representative and the like. They engage in outright deception by posting such advertisements with one sole purpose - to lure you into their office, where they will try to lure you into their project by presenting convincing arguments. And since students are inexperienced and impressionable people, this often works. Next, they will require an initial payment from you for the products and send you to sell these super-duper products to your relatives and friends.

Thousands of such stories can be found on the Internet. Fraud continues to develop - scams are scammed by phone, on the Internet, when applying for a job, etc. Be carefull! Here are some tips to help identify fraudulent employers:

• Positions like “business partner”, “office employee” and the like do not inspire confidence. Most likely, these are scams or financial pyramids. The employer must clearly state the employee's responsibilities;
• It is suspicious if a person accepts dozens of workers of different ages and refuses no one;
• If instead of an interview you are invited to a “presentation” or “seminar” and asked to bring a friend, this is most likely a financial pyramid or network marketing;
• Read what you sign carefully!
• Never pledge documents;
• Do they offer paid courses before hiring? This is an obvious deception.
• Read reviews about the company on the Internet. If there are too many negative ones, it’s better to ignore the vacancy.
• I talked in detail about searching for work on the Internet on job boards in this article:. In short, it is better to avoid message boards and give preference to freelance exchanges and proven sites for making money (see reviews).
• Do not make financial contributions before working on the Internet!
• Job vacancies that come to you personally by email, provided that you have not submitted a resume, are most likely scam mailings.

Personally, I was deceived 2 times on the Internet. The first time the customer got the job and blocked me on Skype, that is, he disappeared without paying. The second time, I played an investment game and invested 2000-3000 rubles (this is a normal amount for a student), and soon the site closed.

For each method, I will provide brief information - about the average working time, salary per hour/shift/day, frequency of payments, whether paperwork is required, health certificates, and so on. When describing, I rely on my experience and stories of friends. It is impossible to name the exact payment, since it will differ in different regions, but I will give the figures that are relevant in Vladivostok.

I take vacancies from VKontakte groups, the topic of which is work for students. As for me, this is the most suitable “niche” for such an activity, because I, like other students, spend a lot of time on social networks, and most likely I will start looking for vacancies there rather than on special sites. But you can also look at vacancies here:

Method 1. Work at food points (baristas)

• Schedule: free / shift
• Average salary: 110 rub./hour (payment once a month)
• Official employment: not necessary
• Yes
• Internship: unpaid, several weeks
• Experience: not needed

Barista - coffee specialist. Responsibilities include the proper preparation of coffee and similar beverages. There are about a dozen such points at my university. Usually 1-3 people work there (depending on how busy the point is). Activities include preparing food (simple sandwiches or burgers from ready-made ingredients), brewing coffee, taking orders at the checkout.

Thanks to a flexible schedule, you can work at a convenient time, but your salary depends on the number of hours worked. Typically, a student can work for 4-8 hours. If you work not at a university, but in a city coffee shop, the salary will be higher, but also get ready for a more strict schedule.

I have also seen openings for summer jobs in food outlets (e.g., ice cream counter, smoothie counter).

It all depends on the weather (in the heat there will be no end to visitors, in rainy weather you are unlikely to earn anything at all), and the work is seasonal - i.e. Only suitable for summer.

Method 2. Work in fast food restaurants (KFS, McDonald's, Burger King, etc.)

• Schedule: flexible
• Average salary: 108 rub. / hour + 24 rub. / hour meals
• Official employment: Yes
• Registration of a medical record: Yes
• Internship: 1 week paid
• Experience: not needed

Working in fast food restaurants is probably one of the most popular jobs for students. And the leaders of such institutions themselves do not hide this and often focus on students in announcements. But is the work really that good?

She shared her thoughts about this work Alena Moskvitina, who works at KFC.

How is training conducted at the institution? What positions are there?

First of all, you come to the restaurant where you want to get a job and fill out a form. Already in the questionnaire itself there will be a table in which you indicate the hours at which you can work. Next is an interview with the director or deputy. Then a tour of the restaurant where they will show you everything and tell you which station you will work at.

There are the following stations:

• Assembly/checkout;
• Breading;
• Saladet (includes fries).

If you are satisfied with everything, after the excursion you will be given a referral for a medical examination. Next, your training at the station begins. You are assigned one trainer and you study for a week and at the end you pass the certification. After successfully passing the certification, your rate increases to 108 rubles / hour + 24 rubles additional payment for food (training is paid, I don’t know what the rate is) and you start working.

What can you say about the work itself?

At the beginning, the work seems varied and you like it. But over time, you realize that diversity comes down to monotonous work at one station and you quickly get tired of the workload. Sometimes you have to work for several people because there is no necessary staff.

Is it possible to combine study and work?

It was possible to combine it with studies. At any time you can go up to the director and explain that there are problems in your studies and you can be given at least two working days a week. In general, every week we fill out our capabilities, where we indicate again how many hours we can work, from what time and until what time.

Do you like this job?

This is a very good opportunity for a student to earn extra money. Work in fast food, oddly enough, is done with an emphasis on students, so they are given various concessions so that they can do both.

Method 3. Working as a waiter/administrator in cafes/restaurants

• Schedule: day, night, evening shifts of 8 hours
• Average salary: 90-120 rub./hour (payment once a month) + tips
• Registration under the contract: not necessary
• Registration of a medical record: Yes
• Internship: a few days
• Experience: desirable, but they take it without

Waiter is the most popular part-time job among students. Responsibilities include: serving guests of the establishment (taking orders, communicating), receiving and distributing dishes. The waiter also needs to monitor the cleanliness of the room, monitor the condition of cutlery, dishes, and equipment.

Well, the most important requirement: neat appearance, friendliness. Personally, I enjoy being served by a cheerful person, which lifts my mood. The work is not difficult and is suitable for all students.

Cafes and restaurants often require administrators. Their tasks are to greet guests, seat them, take phone calls, and count clients. They must also keep records and monitor the work of the hall. Also a simple job that is suitable for students.

Method 4. Promoter-consultant/poster of advertisements (my experience) + tastings

• Schedule: day shifts, 3-5 hours
• Average salary: 100-200 rub./hour
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: a day or two
• Experience: not needed

The essence of a promoter’s job is to distribute leaflets on the streets and indoors. A person should not be shy and friendly in order to distribute as much promotional material as possible. Naturally, you cannot throw it away or cheat in any other way (supervisors monitor it), otherwise you will be deprived of payment. Work usually takes place in crowded places on the street.

Another type of work is tasting. You've probably met girls in the supermarket who offer to try something (for example, 1 dumpling) and then buy the full product (a pack of dumplings). This is also a part-time job for students. Mostly they hire girls, work for 3-4 hours, pay higher than the promoter + you are in the room.

If you are shy, you can try working as a poster poster. I worked this way for one day, then changed my mind. I arrived at the office and filled out the documents. The next day I was given promotional material, about 500 business cards of a computer company offering its services. The task is to “put” 2 business cards into the front door in the entire area.

You can choose the area yourself. They gave us a map on which the path and the necessary houses were marked. BUT! You had to start from a certain place, since the “supervisor” would go from there to check your work. This created a problem for me because... the nearest stop where I disembarked was exactly the finishing point.

The work is exhausting. Instead of the stated 2-3 hours, I completed it in 4-5 hours. Your legs get tired, and the only place to grab a bite is a fast food cafe that sells shawarma. My job ended when I discovered that I had run out of promotional material. I was even happy about this

The first day was an unpaid internship. The rest of the time I would receive 500 rubles per day if I continued to work. However, the job is suitable if you have chosen the area in which you live.

Method 5. Work from student teams (guides, counselors, poutine, construction)

• Schedule: seasonal
• Average salary: 10,000-100,000 rub./season
• Registration under the contract: Yes
• Registration of a medical record: Yes
• Internship: training during the academic year
• Experience: not needed

I learned about RSO (Russian student groups) at the university, in my first year. It was boring in the dorm and I decided to watch the upcoming events, among which was the “Exhibition of Student Teams.” I went and found out that my university has 4 majors:

• Pedagogical (work as counselors in children's camps);
• Builders (work on the construction of roads, spaceports and other facilities);
• Putin (fishing and processing of fish at enterprises);
• Conductors (work as conductors on trains).

Later it turned out that there are many more directions:

• Service (service of hotels, supermarkets, restaurants, etc.);
• Medical;
• Rescue;
• Agricultural and others.

Not available at all universities (usually large federal ones). The bottom line is that you join the squad (you don’t need anything for this) and during the academic year you undergo training (lectures + practice once a week). Naturally, you will end up in a student group, so get ready for new acquaintances and a sea of ​​positive emotions. At the end of your studies, exams are held, and in the summer you can work in your field.

I chose the pedagogical direction. I didn’t think about work - I just wanted to join the new team. Unfortunately, I didn’t work in the summer. Counselors work shifts that last 21 days. During this entire period they work with children, organize events, and solve various problems. The work isn't easy, but it's fun. They pay a little - up to 15,000 rubles, if you have no problems.

Friends who work in construction received 60,000-80,000 rubles. in 2-3 months. Work at a construction site is different - some prepare materials, while others just sit in the office and deal with documents.

Friends who worked as guides received 50,000-100,000 rubles. for a couple of months of work. But I would not choose this direction, since for me this work is difficult and even to some extent dangerous (I have met violent passengers more than once).

Putina - the work is extremely difficult (constant work with fish). But they also pay well for it. Unfortunately, I don’t have any friends who worked during Putin.

Method 6. Working as a merchandiser

• Schedule: one-time part-time job (8-12 hours)
• Average salary: from 100-150 rub./hour
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: not needed

Merchandiser is a person who helps display goods in a store. That is, put food on shelves, clothes, etc. The job is simple and well paid, but be prepared for monotonous work.

I had the opportunity to work as a merchandiser at the New Yorker clothing store. Time – from 9 am to 9 pm, payment – ​​150 rubles per hour. Lunch was given 2 times for 30 minutes, you decide when. It was necessary to receive the goods, lay them out and stick tags with sizes and prices in the back room.

By the end of the day, I no longer had the strength to stand on my feet, but I managed to get 1,500 rubles, which is enough for a student. Part-time work is one-time, it doesn’t come along very often.

Method 7. Working as a courier

• Schedule: negotiable, usually part-time
• Average salary: in different ways (some pay 100 rubles for delivery, others 1000 per shift, others 7500 per month).
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: not needed
• Additional requirement: car (but not everywhere)

The essence of the work is the delivery of any goods from point A (for example, a warehouse, a pizzeria) to point B (another warehouse, a client’s home). The person is required to deliver the order on time. Additionally, they can entrust the packing of orders and relieve responsibility for the warehouse. This type of work often requires a car, but I have seen courier jobs within the same territory that do not require a car (example below).

Method 8. Working at rentals and attractions

• Schedule: day, shift
• Average salary: 500 rub/day + interest for each client
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: not needed

An amusement ride operator must be a sociable, sociable and cheerful person, because he needs to attract people. I often see vacancies for virtual reality and slot machine operators, but you can come to the park yourself and find out if there is work.

A huge plus– pay interest from the general cash for the day. That is, the more people involved, the higher the salary. And this could be 1000 or 2000 rubles per day. At the same time, the person will gain sales skills that will be useful in the future.

Minus– the work is seasonal, and earnings depend on the day of the week. On weekends (especially hot days) there are a lot of people walking around, and in rainy weather there may be no customers at all.

Another type of income is renting sports equipment, bicycles, and so on. My university has its own rental facility, where they willingly take students. Usually you need guys who understand mechanics. Here is an example of such a vacancy:

A friend of mine worked at this job for a year and managed to earn money for a motorcycle! True, he had difficulties in his studies because of this, but it didn’t come to expulsion

Method 9. Working as an operator

• Schedule: day, shift
• Average salary: from 10,000 rub./month
• Registration under the contract: Yes
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: Maybe
• Experience: not needed

An operator performs the function of an assistant in a company. He, roughly speaking, is the “link” between the company and the client. Contacts people by phone and provides assistance or offers any services. You can work from home, the main thing is to have the Internet and a good microphone.

You need excellent knowledge of your company's services, as well as politeness and tolerance, because you may come across rude people on the phone who will ruin your mood.

Method 10. Working as a photographer

• Schedule: most often free
• Average salary: different (payment may be 500 rubles per working day, or for one photo)
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: Maybe
• Experience: desirable
• Additional requirement: ability to work in Photoshop

The responsibilities of a photographer include photographing various events, objects or people. The goal is to take a cool photo that people will want to pay you for. You also need to be able to work in Photoshop to process photos.

The work is universal - you can get a job in a company on a permanent basis or be independent (offer to do a photo shoot at weddings/corporate events, and so on). Often the services of a photographer are used by ordinary people who need cool photos.

Work experience is desirable. To do this, you can take specialized courses. Here's what the photoplay website offers, for example:

But you can certainly find cheaper options or educate yourself through books and videos.

The photographer also needs to have a portfolio. It’s not difficult to top it up - offer a free (or with a minimum payment) photo session to friends or acquaintances. Here’s how, for example, at our university, they replenish their portfolio:

Method 11. Working in nightclubs

• Schedule: night, shift
• Average salary: usually from 500-1000 rubles. per night
• Registration under the contract: not necessary
• Registration of a medical record: –
• Internship: Maybe
• Experience: not required

The first thing that comes to a student’s mind after admission is the thrill of the hot parties that await him. I periodically see announcements of events in nightclubs, such as “Student Break”, “Let’s take a complete break from studying” and so on. Some students relax in this place, while others receive good money.

What vacancies are in demand for students in nightclubs:

• Cashier operator. Filling out a cash report, paying guests. Average pay is 1000 rubles/shift, experience is not required.
• Administrator. Communication with guests, meeting and seating guests, control of the hall, etc. They pay 100-150 rubles/hour
• Waiters. Receiving and issuing food, keeping tables clean. They pay from 100 rubles/hour + % + tips. You need a health certificate + experience is desirable.
• Security guards. Ensuring physical security. Usually they take athletic guys. They pay 200 rubles/hour. Training is possible.
• Svetovik is a lighting designer. Determines how best to make lighting design, prepares the appropriate equipment, and so on. Possible without experience. Typically, an internship is scheduled over several days. 800-1000 rubles per shift.
• Promoter. Responsibilities are to gather people to discos and nightclubs. Income depends on the number of attracted guests (can be 500, 1500 and higher). The nightclub also offers various goodies (free entry, drinks). You need to be able to attract people.
• Promotional models (girls). Those same beautiful girls that shine in the photos of the club. Only girls with certain parameters (height, clothing size) are suitable. Responsibilities also include the sale of alcoholic beverages to club guests. Usually they pay a percentage of sales (the more they sell, the more they receive).
• Bartender. Responsibilities: pour and carry alcoholic drinks. At the end of the shift, fill out a report. Work experience is desirable (you can take special courses), but some employers accept without it. Payment can be monthly (for example, 17,000 for 15 shifts), or hourly (for example, 100 rubles / hour) + tips.
• DJ. The person who creates a fun atmosphere in the club and is responsible for the music. Work experience is desirable. The salary is high and reaches up to 3000 rubles/shift +% of the music order.

Method 12. Working as a security guard

• Schedule: shift
• Average salary: 100 rub./hour
• Registration under the contract: Yes
• Registration of a medical record: no (but needed to protect the child care facility)
• Internship: Maybe
• Experience: not required

The security guard is responsible for ensuring security at the facility. Usually, students work as security guards in nightclubs, since it is more convenient to combine their schedule with their studies. However, if you have the opportunity to work a full shift, you can find shift vacancies.

They don't pay that much - usually 100 rubles/hour. I have seen payment even lower - 75 rubles per hour, but this, in my opinion, is not worth it. The security guard is not required to have mastery of martial arts and supernatural things - it is enough that the person is responsible, easily trained, decent, attentive, and can also resolve conflict situations.

You can undergo training, receive a rank and work on more serious facilities with increased pay.

Method 13. Working as a loader

• Schedule: one-time part-time job
• Average salary: 100-200 rub./hour
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: No

Easy to understand and physically challenging work. The responsibilities of a loader include unloading/loading goods, furniture, etc. The work goes as usual - you go out with the driver, arrive at the point, and do the work.

Usually this is a one-time part-time job for 1-3 days with good pay. Suitable for students who cannot combine study with work, but have a couple of hours of free time on a certain day. The job is suitable for guys.

I also once participated in loading/unloading operations when I was a merchandiser. The work is physically difficult, you get tired quickly, but there is nothing difficult.

Method 14. Work at an academic department at a university/laboratory assistant

• Schedule: flexible
• Average salary: scholarship increase
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: No

The job is suitable for students who are truly passionate about their studies. You will have to do various things - help teachers, work with documents, organize various events, and more.

Pros: the work does not require qualifications and can be easily combined with studies; you can earn the teacher’s loyalty. Of the minuses: I have to spend a lot of time at the university, the salary is low. A student is required to have good academic performance, otherwise you simply will not be hired for this job.

To get a job, you should contact the department or dean's office of the university where you are studying.

Method 15. Working on scientific projects (scholarships)

• Schedule: free
• Average salary: scholarship increase
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: No

Like the previous work, it is suitable for students who love to learn. And they succeed in this matter. At our university, if a student does not have “C” grades based on the results of the session, he is awarded a scholarship:

• If the specialty is not a priority: regular scholarship is 1800 rubles, increased scholarship is 4500 rubles. (if there are only “A’s” in the record book);
• If the specialty is a priority (for example, engineers): regular scholarship 2800 rubles, increased scholarship 7500 rubles.

But if you engage in scientific and social activities, you can significantly increase this amount. Here is an example of the scholarships we have:

Click to enlarge image

And this is not the limit! I've heard of students making more money this way than teachers.

What to do to get such a scholarship? Firstly, you need to study “good” and “excellent”. Secondly, actively participate in the scientific and social life of the university. To do this, you should contact teachers or student organizations that are engaged in scientific activities. If your achievements are significant, you may be awarded an additional scholarship (for the entire semester or a one-time payment).

Method 16. Working as a laborer

• Schedule: daytime (non-permanent work, usually for several days)
• Average salary: 100-200 rub./hour or from 800-1000 rub./day
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: No

Quite a simple job that does not require special skills or training. Responsibilities include assisting in stores or other facilities. To drag something, move goods, help at a construction site... That’s why they say “handyman.” The work is not difficult, but monotonous.

The advantage is that it is well-paid and non-permanent. That is, if a student has a week of free time, he can earn 5,000-10,000 rubles, and then easily go about his business.

Method 17. Providing copying services to students

• Schedule: free
• Average salary: 2-4 rubles/sheet, other services at your discretion
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: No

During their studies, a student often needs to print something: work reports, coursework, diplomas... And there are no printers in the hostel! Therefore, you have to use copying services at the university or in special centers in the city, but sometimes other students with the treasured equipment come to the rescue.

In our dorm there was a Chinese student who printed out a piece of paper with a price list and slipped it under the door of each dorm resident. So he promoted his services, and, as a result, I usually printed for him. Why? It’s close to the room where I live, and the prices are half as much as at the university.

Or you can get a job in a copy center at your university. Earnings will be higher, but such a schedule is often incompatible with study, since work usually takes place in the morning and afternoon:

Calculating the benefits is quite simple. We buy a good printer (for example, Pantum P2200 for 5,000 rubles), a pack of paper of 500 sheets (200-300 rubles) and promote our services in social groups. The maximum page count of this printer as stated by the seller is 15,000 pages. Without taking into account the costs of paint and sheets, when printing for 2 rubles/sheet we will receive 30,000 rubles. Of course, such figures are not achievable, but I think you can reach 5,000 rubles/month, which is a good result for a student.

Method 18. Interviewer

• Schedule: full time or free
• Average salary: 1 questionnaire 100-200 rubles
• Registration under the contract: Maybe
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: desirable

This type of income is suitable for sociable people - earnings directly depend on it. The essence of the interviewer’s job is to take a “mini-interview” from a person, conduct a survey and fill out a questionnaire. On average, they pay 100-200 rubles for one questionnaire (that is, for one person surveyed), but they can pay more.

You need to have competent and clear speech and be able to correctly stage a conversation with a stranger. The work can take place both on the street and using the “apartment” method, i.e. you conduct a survey by walking around apartments.

An administrator can get either a permanent job or a part-time job. And if the management is loyal, you may be allowed to use the equipment, which will be a plus for people who are involved in/want to start playing sports.

Method 20. Part-time work as a taxi driver

• Schedule: free
• Average salary: from 200 rubles/order
• Registration under the contract: No
• Registration of a medical record: No
• Internship: No
• Experience: No
• Additional requirement: having a car

We will not consider the full-time work of a taxi driver, but only a part-time job. There are apps on mobile phones that allow people to place a taxi order. During this time, motorists who also have the app can take this order. It turns out to be a kind of “exchange” with performers and customers

What applications are popular:

• Gett;
• Uber;
• inDriver.

Personally, I use an indriver when I need a taxi. What are the advantages - low prices, the ability to see the driver’s rating, quick response. If you have a car, you can earn extra money this way on the way from university or in your free time. Various student events that take place far from the dormitories also allow you to make money. For example, a party in a nightclub.

Being subscribed to the “Work for Students” group on VKontakte, I closely monitored vacancies, and one of them seemed interesting to me. Unfortunately, it was not possible to find this advertisement, but its content was something like this:

“We need people for part-time work, payment is 500 rubles, you are required to attend the event, details in private messages.”

I decided to answer the ad with a friend. As a result, we were all gathered in the city, put on a bus and taken to some institution where a land council was held (or something like that). All we had to do was listen to the narrator and vote, for which I don’t remember. That's all.

Afterwards we were given 500 rubles, put back on the bus and taken to the collection point. All! I don’t know how “legal” this way of earning money was, but it can be called “easy money” since I didn’t do anything.

10 ways to earn money for students at home

Here we look at jobs you can do at home. For many, you will need the Internet and a computer and that’s it! No bosses, strict schedules or other problems. You decide for yourself when and with whom to work.

I chose freelancing to work from home, and I’m doing great at combining it with my studies. You can work and do homework at the same time while sitting at the computer. Of course, freelancing also has its disadvantages: inconsistent work, payment depends on the volume you complete, the possibility of fraud... But you quickly adapt to such conditions!

Method 1. Earn money on simple tasks

A simple way to make money that is suitable for beginners. Many people, including me, started working on the Internet with it.

Essence: complete simple tasks on exchanges/special sites. No skills or special courses are required for this - just a browser and Internet access. These tasks include:

• Entering captcha. The work is simple but monotonous. You need to enter captchas (an image with distorted but legible text or numbers) on special service sites. On average, you can get 1-10 rubles per hour if you work without breaks. Enough to top up your mobile phone account.

Method 2. Earning money from games

As a teenager, I spent a lot of time playing video games. Over time, I learned that you can make money from them, which is what I have been successfully doing to this day. I turned my hobby into a source of income, and my work brings me pleasure and money.

You can earn money both by playing them and by doing “third-party” activities, such as website promotion, copywriting, and more. I was able to identify the following ways to make money on games:

For myself, I chose copywriting, the topic was computer games. Currently I write about games (reviews, news, articles), and am also a content manager on a gaming website. I won’t say that you can earn a lot from this - this topic is unpopular in copywriting, but there is also less competition. But I don’t need this - I write with pleasure, and this is the main thing.

Method 3. Earning money from mobile applications

Almost every schoolchild and student has a cool smartphone. In addition to calls, they perform a number of functions: games, watching movies, surfing the Internet. And they can even become a tool for making money! You can earn money in the following ways:

Method 4. Earning money from comments and reviews

Another interesting and easy way to earn money is writing reviews and comments. Usually these are “mini texts” of a couple of sentences with a specific message: to praise something, express your opinion, ask a question, and so on. Comments and reviews are ordered by owners of websites and blogs for the purpose of promoting them.

Tasks for paid comments can be found on the following sites:

The point is to write a unique one (the uniqueness of the text can be checked for free on the Text.ru service
