You can buy course books, snacks and even pay off a little of your tuition fees.

Utilization of free time

 

If there is one thing that we all have in common then that would be the 24 hours long each day. And so many people manage to pull off various kinds of work within this fixed frame of time. Perhaps, this could be a motivation for you to pursue a part time job to make the best out of your extra time. 

 

Access to better possibilities

 

Part time jobs are your opportunities to showcase your talent and make your employers aware about your potential. This can eventually lead you to greater positions in your professional life. Which means you will get a job that is going to pay you more. It goes without saying that the skills and knowledge you will gain during this period will come in handy for a lifetime.

 

Less Stress and Better Time Management 

 

Part time jobs do not have the responsibilities weighing similar to full time jobs. That means you will have less to stress about and have a happy working environment. Similarly, long hour routine jobs can be exhausting. So lesser working hours might just be something up your alley. And you will be managing time even better now than before because your work hours are flexible and you aren't stressed anymore.

 

To conclude, there obviously are so many part time jobs in Kathmandu. But it is upto you to decide the kind of job you prefer, would want to dedicate yourself to pursue and might just even see yourself in the future thriving because of it. All the best!
