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.
