Casual/part time job for a University student?

We Answered:

You've got some really interesting life experience and you are obviously a clever guy. I too am a part time philosophy undergraduate but I also have some experience in IT. I do p/t work, I try to find the most interesting possible. I also write for online magazines as a freelance.

You could do this for marketing companies if being a copy writer interests you or just get you experiences, interests and views out there for people to read. It's a good way of building skills and supplementing your income. Read this article for more advice.

It would be important to say you are a university student. It shows commitment and reliability. You should start with the library and school cafeteria jobs, try gas stations and small convenience stores.

Jim Said:

casual jobs??? how to join an agency?

We Answered:

Look in the phone book under "Employment Agencies--Temporary." Start calling numbers to schedule appointments.

Plan on an appointment lasting 1-2 hours. During the appointment, a recruiter will interview you to determine what you're looking for, and may ask you to take one or more skill tests, e.g., typing, basic math skills, proofreading. If you are under 18, you'll need the permission of a parent or guardian before you're allowed to register.

Once you have registered, you should call in every week to let your recruiter know you're available for work.

Good luck!

advice on moving out of home as a student?

We Answered:

If you aren't looking for anywhere fancy, it's easy to find a nice cheap apartment. I only pay $350 a month for my little studio apartment because I don't need much space. It's only me!

Craigslist.com is like college student heaven. They have job postings and apartments for rent and so on and so forth.

Again, if it is just you, groceries are easy. I only spend about $20 a week at the most.

Look for apartments that include utilities so you don't have to deal with all that.


I just turned 18 and have been living on my own for a few months and it really isn't too hard. Just be smart about your money and don't be afraid to ask for help.

Good luck. :)
