Part time fun .... Review on Choosing a Part Time Job

Part time jobs are fun if you find the right job. Part time jobs are ideal for students who are taking a break during their holidays as well for a working lady/gentleman who wants to earn some extra buck as well as pursue an individual hobby or interest.

In India the concept of part time job is somewhat restricted maybe because of the social restrictions.. there are very few jobs which define dignity of labour.

My friends who are studying or working outside earn extra bucks by waitressing, delivering newspapers,babysitting etc etc and yes also end up having fun.

Imagine being a waitress in India.:) The whole society will be shocked and maybe even boycott you to some extent.. if its a profession its ok but if its a part time job, its a big no no. In fact you hardly get to see women waitresses in Indian restaurants....:):) I guess it will take sometime to accept the dignity of labor in certain professions.

Well thats one aspect but in India people have managed to be creative enough... part time jobs in India also add up to your professional experience if you know how to utilise that extra time.
