Students who started earning during college
I’m currently doing English Honours from open college and I’ll be giving my 3rd/4th sem exams in June–July After that I only have my last year left
Honestly i regret taking open college sometimes because I feel like I missed out on guidance, exposure, internships, and networking. But I also know there’s no point staying stuck in regret now. I want to use whatever time I still have properly.
I see a lot of college students earning money, building skills, freelancing, doing internships, remote work, content writing, editing, marketing, etc. and I genuinely want to understand HOW people actually start.
I’m ready to work hard. I just need some direction and realistic guidance.
What did you personally learn that helped you start earning? What skills are actually useful?
Which fields are beginner friendly but still have growth?
Any mistakes I should avoid?
I’m not expecting instant money or shortcuts. I just want clarity so I can take better decisions for myself and stop wasting time feeling stuck
