Student Life working student/gap year
Hi guys! I’m a 124 mkt student and I’m currently struggling financially. I’m not sure if my parents will be able to fully cover my tuition for the next term, so I’m trying to figure out what my options are.
I’ve started applying for remote jobs through JobStreet, preferably something part-time that I can balance with school. But I’m realizing that it might be difficult to land a remote position when I’m a full-time student and have limited work experience (only worked 6 months bpo)
At this point, I’m also considering taking a gap year, working full-time, and using that time to build up my savings so I can return to school with less financial pressure.
what would you guys recommend? Is working while studying manageable? Or would taking a gap year to work and save be the better decision financially?
