Growing up, I knew that part-time college 👩🏼‍🎓 taught us more than I thought. 🥹💸

When I was in college, I worked a lot of part-time. At that time, I just thought that I could do anything to have money to study. But now, when I go back, it taught me more than I thought. 🥹

💼 review of part-time work done in college

1. Selling jewelry / gift shop - Selling jewelry and cute gift shop, cheap, accessible, making it very easy to sell, and you are kind to send to college after work every time. 🥹

🕔 Hours: 5 to 9 p.m.

💰 Income: 200 Baht / day

📍: Night flea market

💡 Grow Up Knowing: Selling That Day Helps Make Us Brave to Speak, Dare to Negotiate with Strangers, Practice Smile Habits, Easy Access, Enhance Service Skills, Continue to Work

2. Cafe staff - You have to do everything from opening a shop, getting orders, serving, making snacks, washing glasses until closing the shop. You can say that the work is very heavy, but the wages are less compared to the work you do. 😭

🕙 Hours: 10 to 7 p.m.

💰 Income: 20 Baht / hour

📍: Cafe

💡 grow up and know: You have to be brave to reject a job that is not worth your work, even if you want money, but you have to not let anyone take advantage of it. It's worth breathing. 😂

3. Selling water smoothie - have to learn to make water smoothie on every menu. It's fun, but secretly pressured when a lot of customers are afraid of not doing it in time. The job is not difficult, but very hot. And have to stand all day.

🕙 Work time: 10: 00 - 17: 00

💰 Income: 200 Baht / day

📍: Famous neighborhood streets

💡 grow up and know: each baht is not easy to get, hot-wearing, enduring most of the day to earn a hundred dollars. Today, it is worth a lot of money.

4. Student scholarship work - It is a key job for college personnel to sit in the air room, the work is not heavy, and the brothers are very kind, always buy snacks to eat, it is the most comfortable job ever done.

🕘 Job time: After school.

💰 Income: 50 Baht / hour

📍: University

💡 grow up and know: if sitting still, there is no way for work to come up, we have to seize the opportunity ourselves, and the result is very rewarding, can build on our skills in many ways.

5. Selling used clothes - Selling used fashion clothes. Made since opening a store, organizing a store, checking stock, calling customers, selling things, and counting money. Work is not difficult. Sitting in a casual store, but very difficult to sell. Can not sell at all.

🕔 Job time: After school.

💰 Income: 200 Baht / day

📍: Night flea market

💡 grow up and know: understand the sales process, what to do from start to finish, talk to a lot of customers, and solve a lot of specific problems.

I thought I was working for pocket money, but when I grew up knowing that part-time jobs taught us patience, working with people and the value of money made us who we are today, 🥰

... Read moreการทำงานพาร์ทไทม์ในช่วงวัยเรียนมหาวิทยาลัยเป็นประสบการณ์ที่มีค่ายิ่งกว่าการได้เงินค่าขนม เพราะนอกจากได้ฝึกทักษะพื้นฐานต่างๆ แล้ว ยังช่วยให้เราเข้าใจโลกแห่งการทำงานและการใช้ชีวิตมากขึ้นอย่างแท้จริง ผม/ดิฉันเองก็เคยผ่านประสบการณ์ทำงานพาร์ทไทม์มาแล้วหลายรูปแบบ เช่น ขายของตามตลาด การทำงานในร้านอาหาร หรือแม้แต่การช่วยงานในสำนักงานมหาวิทยาลัย สิ่งที่ได้เรียนรู้จากทุกนายจ้างคือนิสัยความอดทนและการรับผิดชอบ เพราะบางงานอาจดูเรียบง่ายแต่แฝงด้วยความท้าทายอย่างการรับมือกับลูกค้ามากหน้าหลายตา หรือการทำงานภายใต้แรงกดดันทั้งเวลาหรือสภาพแวดล้อม นอกจากนี้ งานพาร์ทไทม์ยังช่วยฝึกการบริหารเวลาให้ดี เพราะต้องแบ่งเวลาให้พอดีกับการเรียนและเวลาพักผ่อน เมื่อเจอสถานการณ์ที่ต้องเลือกว่าจะรับงานเพิ่มหรือปฏิเสธ ก็สามารถตัดสินใจได้ดีขึ้นตามประสบการณ์ ทำให้รู้จักคุ้มครองตัวเองจากการถูกเอาเปรียบ และคำนึงถึงความสมดุลของชีวิตมากขึ้น ในบางครั้งงานอาจทำให้เราเหนื่อยหรือรู้สึกว่าค่าแรงไม่คุ้มค่า แต่การได้เจอคนหลากหลายและเรียนรู้วิธีแก้ปัญหาต่างๆ นั้น เป็นสิ่งที่ไม่อาจแลกเปลี่ยนด้วยเงิน นอกจากนี้ยังเสริมสร้างทักษะการสื่อสารและความกล้าหาญในการติดต่อสื่อสารกับคนแปลกหน้า ซึ่งเป็นประโยชน์มากเมื่อต้องเข้าสู่โลกการทำงานอย่างเต็มตัวในอนาคต สุดท้ายแล้ว งานพาร์ทไทม์ยังทำให้เราเคารพและเห็นคุณค่าของเงินมากขึ้น ทุกบาททุกสตางค์ที่ได้มาไม่ได้ง่ายอย่างที่เคยคิด สร้างนิสัยประหยัดและแบ่งใช้จ่ายอย่างมีสติ วันนี้ผม/ดิฉันจึงรู้สึกขอบคุณกับทุกงานที่เคยทำและเชื่อว่าประสบการณ์เหล่านี้เป็นรากฐานที่เข้มแข็งทำให้เราเติบโตเป็นคนที่แข็งแกร่งและมีความสามารถในการเปลี่ยนแปลงชีวิตได้อย่างแท้จริง
