How to Select a Job
A student has most of his time accounted for by the course of study he pursues. Yet, he finds that he does have some spare time on hand, a few hours a day to a few hours a week during which he could earn some money. The following factors need to be looked into when choosing the job.
Choose a line of work for which you have an aptitude: This makes the job seem 'easier'.
Choose a line of work for which the required resources are available: In this context, resources could mean knowledge you may require. You should have sources from where you can access the required knowledge easily. It could be infra-structural requirement like basic computer skills. A student is not able to invest large capital to procure the resources.
Choose a line of work that is not going to eat into your study time too much: You need to figure out how much time you can spare a day. You need to identify the hours during the day when you can spare the time and then figure out if you can do the job during that time. If your part-time job is too taxing or too time consuming and does not allow you to devote time to your study, it is completely self-defeating.
Choose a job that allows you a little time flexibility: Exam time and project time are typically those times in a student's life when he needs to burn the candle at both ends, to cope with his course of study. Choose a job that would allow you the flexibility of picking up speed, once the exams/projects are over.
Choose a job that is connected to the career you are pursuing: This would be like killing two birds with one stone. You get job-knowledge and are paid for it as well.
Choose a job that establishes an effort-rewards balance for you: If the job requires a great deal of effort on your part and the payback is minimal, it may not be worth your while.
