When I was a student in uni, I worked as a night shift security guard at a shopping center.
My shifts would start at 11pm, just as the last shop in the center was closing.
I then had the whole night to sit in a fairly comfy chair in the control room, with screens showing the cameras spread all over the shopping center.
I had to do 3 patrols around the center – at midnight, 3am and 6am, and the rest of the time I could do whatever I liked (apart from sleeping).
I used most of my time to do my homework, but a lot of the time I just did nothing.
Looking back, that was a great opportunity for me to expand my skills and knowledge, but I just didn’t have that mindset back then.
That is definitely the type of job I would recommend to anyone struggling with money – a low maintenance job that allows you to study while you work.
You could then expand your skills and get a better job (or better yet, start your own online business), and leave your broke days behind you.
Hope that helps
