I chose to study in Berlin back also because of its lower cost of living. Within Germany, the cost of living can be veritably different depending on the metropolises. To learn more, check out my post Cost of living in Germany – How to save plutocrat while living in Germany

When I was a pupil, I saw my bank balance dropping everyday and it was a really scary feeling. There were only red deals, none was green. I was so stressed out and hysterical that if I still could n’t find a job, I would have no further plutocrat to pay rent at some point in time and would need to live on a road.

Fortunately that didn't be. I did manage to earn some plutocrat after one time to support my stay. So do n’t be hopeless!

Below are some of the ways you can suppose about to earn some plutocrat. To avoid being underpaid, check out my other post as well about how important payment you should get inGermany.However, see my 20 ideas to make plutocrat from home that anyone can do, If you prefer to work from home.

1. externship

As I mentioned in my another composition 5 Reasons why I study in Germany, there are a lot of externship openings in Germany, as utmost of the scholars would need some externship experience in order to graduate from their university. A lot of externship aren't good paid however.

I was lucky to be in a company who paid externship really good. Back also in 2011, I got 1500 EUR net per month.( currently they pay 1700 EUR net). I heard that a lot of other companies pay only a many hundred EUR, or indeed overdue. For some other big transnational company, they may pay around 1000 EUR, which is considered to be enough ok paid.

With that said, externship is surely a way to earn some plutocrat to survive. That was a game changer for me. I was so much more relieved and didn't need to starve myself any further after getting my externship offer.

Still, check out these tips for job interview in Germany which can boost your chances of getting hired, If you're looking for an externship. Also, do n’t forget to customize your CV and your cover letter to suits the job request in Germany!

2. Pupil work in a company

This is a little bit analogous to externship. The difference is that for externship, you're working like a full time job( full day and 5 days a week), for a limited period( can be from 3 to 12 months). A lot of university programs include a semester free, to allow scholars to do the externship during that time. For some other shorter externships( like 3 months), the scholars can do it during semester break,e.g. in summer or downtime holiday

between the semesters.

For pupil work, it's more like a part time job in a company. For illustration, you can come to the office formerly or doubly a week, for a full day. And the contract may allow you to work for, let say, 50 or 70 days in a time. You'll have to distribute these days in a time by coming to office formerly or doubly a week. This allow you to earn some plutocrat also during your study semester.

3. Writing thesis in a company

In order to graduate from a university, scholars are needed to write a thesis. 

A lot of companies do offer thesis openings. scholars may want to probe a specific issue in a company and write about how to attack it. Or technically, scholars can also develop a software tool to ameliorate the process of a company, and write a thesis with this content. 

 

4. Education 

 At first, I wasn't allowing about education at all. Because education sounded like commodity completely not attainable. Until one day, I saw a bill in my university education for outstanding foreign scholars. This caught my attention as it was especially for foreign scholars. 

I gave it a pass. All I demanded to do was to fill out an operation form, get a reference letter from a professor and attach my academic result. And I did get the education of around 600 EUR. I guess the criteria was presumably my academic result. I got enough good result( but not the top), with grade1.5( this may be original to an A?) Or it can also be that not so numerous people have applied for it. The education wasn't well promoted. I would n’t have known it if I didn't notice this bill on the board. 

 So, take a look around your university. And do try to apply for similar effects if you see one. You may get a positive surprise. 

5. University jobs 

 veritably frequently, there are part time job offers in the university. occasionally the professor may need support from the scholars. This can be helping with a exploration, or other executive tasks. And veritably frequently this get paid by the university. 

So keep an eye on those offers. Have a good relationship with your professors. You may indeed ask the professors if they've any similar offers. 

 6. Bartender/ server 

Another common part time job for scholars are working in a bar or caffs

 . occasionally there's a café in the university, and they presumably hire some scholars from the university to help. 

 Outside of university, there are plenitude of openings if you want to work part time in a bar orrestaurant.However, Irish cafés are relatively a common working place for foreign scholars, If you aren't good at German. Or you can look for a eatery with a proprietor from your own country. For illustration, numerous of my Chinese musketeers chose to work in a Chinese eatery. The Chinese proprietor is more likely looking for scholars who can speak Chinese so that it's easier to communicate. 

 7. sitter, and other jobs from private persons 

 There's always quite a high demand for babysitters in Germany( I understand it now since I've sprat then). still, and have experience of dealing with kiddies, it's quite a good way of earning plutocrat, If you like kiddies. typically sitter get paid per hour. As a pupil( and not a professional sprat caretaker), you could probably earn around 10 – 15 EUR per hour. Depending on the need of the family, you can also make this working hour relatively flexible to yourself and fit it to your study schedule. 

Betreut.de is a popular website in Germany for people to look for similar jobs. 

 Besides sitter, you can also find other jobs in this website, offered by private persons. For illustration, taking care of faves , gardening, cleaning, cuisine,etc. 

8. Street performance 

 road performance is relatively common in Europe. You can see people relatively fluently doing performance in the megacity center. The most common bone

 is playing music. Some others do some talented performance. 

 Still, or know a musical instruments that you can play well, and not hysterical of performing in front of people, If you have a gift. You can earn relatively some good plutocrat if you're in a busy area and if you're good of course. 

 9. Work as freelancer online 

 This was commodity I had tried but stopped after a while. 

 There are different websites having similar job offers. For illustration, this bone

 . 

 Principally, there are companies who outsourced some of their tasks online. 

 Because it's further cost effective for them that they do n’t need to hire someone with a contract, and anyone can do this tasks online from anywhere in the world. 

 These tasks can be anything. For illustration, rephrasing documents, programming, designing, executive tasks, data analysis, internet exploration,etc. 

 I did some rephrasing from English to Chinese. But also I figured out it took me too long to do so and wasn't really worth the time. But you may have other bents so that you can get other tasks which are more paid. So it may worth for you to have a look to see if anything is intriguing.
