Internships and part-time jobs can be either paid or unpaid, depending on various factors:

  • Internships: Some internships offer stipends or hourly wages, especially those in the corporate sector or research institutions. Unpaid internships are common in certain fields, such as non-profit organizations or creative industries.

  • Part-Time Jobs: Part-time jobs are generally paid, and you will receive a wage for the hours you work. The minimum wage and payment frequency may vary from country to country.

  • Work Regulations: Ensure that you comply with the minimum wage laws and employment regulations of the host country.

It is essential to clarify the payment terms before accepting any internship or part-time job offer. Consider factors like the relevance of the experience, learning opportunities, and how the role aligns with your career goals when evaluating paid versus unpaid opportunities.

I know that it’s challenging to find a paid internship even in big cities like London, Manchester, and Birmingham.

See, some places are cool and offer a paycheck for your hard work, which is always a win. But then there are others that expect you to grind for free, which can be a bummer, especially when you’re trying to balance school and expenses. Personally, I’d say it’s worth exploring all your options on the recruitment network. You never know what kinda gigs might pop up, paying or not. Plus, even if it’s unpaid, sometimes the experience and connections you make can be worth their weight in gold.
