Part time job while schooling

@Chinedo Fortune

The official minimum wage is around 400 euros per month. Approximately, that's 100 per week, or 2.50 per hour. My guess is that low-skilled part-time jobs would be somewhere in the ballpark, but would depend on the exact job, the location, and your language skills. Many students want to do something more like a "placement" relevant to their studies, so perhaps this would pay even less. If you're lucky and get a "proper" job in IT (if you already have programming or other in-demand skills) then I'd expect it to pay substantially more.

If you're counting on a job in order to pay your course fees and living costs, that would be quite a risky (and stressful) proposition. I would personally prefer to have enough savings to pay for my stay in Bulgaria without working, and then any job income is a bonus. Besides, a Master's degree is quite a short course. I preferred to get my Master's done as fast as possible, which typically is one academic year (approximately 9 months, October through June). Over such a short period, it's quite hard to incorporate a job anyway, and it's arguably better to get back to the job market as a full-time, qualified employee as quickly as possible, as part-time student jobs are notoriously poorly paid.
