Advice needed on how to get the bag as a student.
Good evening everyone, I'm a female Zambian student in Lusaka currently struggling with her finances. I am a double orphan who is being sponsored by her elder brother and his wife but they have been experiencing some financial difficulties currently so they've reduced my income which I don't have a problem with but you just know that as a girl there are a lot of things we need and I honestly just don't want to live on handouts forever I want to work for my money and I also want this to be how I network and market myself as I am a finance student who will be joining the corporate world soon.
So I've been thinking of ways I could start making money, firstly I thought of starting a business of selling things in campus but I somehow talked myself out of it because I somehow think the market is saturated and everyone is almost selling the same things which makes it difficult for beginners like me to find customers. So I came up with some other idea which is babysitting kids on weekends since I'm in university and my program is kind of involving but I want to just try coming out of my shell.
So is it possible for me to achieve this? Are working moms comfortable with having their children with a student on days they just need some alone time or want to hang out with friends? I basically came up with this idea because I'm good with children—I've been the one actually helping out my sister-in-law when she had a baby so I have a lot of experience. And I would really appreciate if anyone would recommend me to someone in need of a babysitter on weekends especially.
