University students always need an extra coin. The pocket money they get often times is not enough to cater for all their needs. This is the reason why most students including those at Moi Moi University set up their own businesses or look for part-time jobs in order to make more cash.
Some specific business ideas have proved to work at Moi University because of the nature of the market provided by the students. Well here are five job opportunities that not only pay good money but are always available for students.
Photography
This is a booming business at Moi University because currently there are only two photography studios at the university. The fact that most of the students are in the same age bracket and value such thing as photography gives it a boost. A basic average price for photo shoots is always Sh300 for 8 photos. All that one needs is a good camera preferably Nikon or Canon DSLR. Universities are always full of professional and wannabe models. This guarantees a good photographer at least several shoots in a week.
Academic writing
There are various types of online writing, but out of all of them, academic writing stands out. All that a student needs is a smartphone or laptop, internet and a good command of a language. The rates are as high as Sh300 per page, and one would be required to write an article of up to three pages, bring a total of Sh900 per article. This is extremely amazing for a student especially those who are dedicated to the extent of doing up to 3 articles per day.
With academic writing, one is given a topic, after which he will do a research on it before writing an article.
Blogging
Starting up a website nowadays is as cheap as Sh3,000. Then create your own niche and being consistent with it will most definitely give you a good income at the end. Moi University has a lot of WIFI hotspots and a student does not need to worry about where he or she will get the bundles. This business, however, takes time before it starts paying. It is not for the faint-hearted ones as they will give up along the way. But those who have a passion for blogging will definitely make it and earn some good money.
Renting bicycles
About a year ago, renting bicycles totally did not exist. Just recently renting bicycles rose to the top and became one of the highest paying businesses at Moi University. Currently, there are only three outlets for renting bicycles which cannot satisfy the high population of the school. A bicycle is rented out for Sh50 per hour. On a good day, one can rent out up to 50 bicycles with some of them going for more than an hour. This business, however, requires a huge capital as one new mountain bike goes for about Sh10,000. It, however, gives a complete guarantee of a good income.
These are the top part-time jobs that students at Moi University are using to make good money.
