Foot your bill! That�s the mantra of the generation X today. Young adults (college goers) hesitate to be dependant on their parents for their hitherto expenses and this has given raise to the burgeoning concept of part time jobs. College life is all fun. The fun increase when there is extra dough for extravagances.

Part time jobs may relate to academics like a journalism student free lancing or commerce student taking tuitions for school kids. These jobs most often do not relate to the academics but still to a great extent help mould the personality of the person undertaking the job.

No theory can teach commitment & networking skills to students and these part time jobs help in shaping those aspects of an individual untouched by academics. Most often events provide a good base for part timers. And the money is also tremendous. Depending on the company, per day event can fetch up to Rs.800. But beware of the middle men. These are also part timers who have little experience and better networks.

What are the other options available? Content developing, Call centre executives, Sales & marketing! Being a scribe for a physically challenged person also pays decent money and you can also call yourself as a social worker. These avenues can also add to the resume unlike events which will help only for those keen on a long time career in event management.

Modeling is perhaps the best part time job available. Good personality and pleasing physique can help you earn great bucks. Per ramp show one can earn up to Rs.10, 000 with experience.

Now to the other side of the coin! It�s always better to keep part time job only for part time. The alluring money should not take the main seat of studies. Parents shall also keep track of their wards' extra curricular activities.
