Many of us did two semesters a year in campus. That means, we had a four month long break. What did you do during yours? For many this is the time to catch up on seasons of their favourite series, drink unlimited alcohol knowing very well that they do not have classes, visit one friend after another, or reconnect with family members they haven’t seen in years.
There is however something else you should consider doing over long holidays or even during weekends. This is getting a part time job. Many students fear the idea of having a part-time job while in campus. For some, it is because they fear the added responsibility, others have misplaced priorities, while others are just lazy. Whether the job is directly linked to your career or not, getting a part time job, or side hustle is very beneficial, in the long-run for several reasons.
