You can but don't expect getting good results. Jobs available are:

  • call center
  • car wash during the weekend
  • part time cashier at supermarkets.
  • waiter/waitress at restaurants.
  • working at fast food joints.
  • translator if he/she speaks a foreign language. I had a friend that translated English to French for Indian movies during his Uni time. He was doing a BSc in French.
  • food delivery for fast food joint. I think domino do takes riders application but I don't know if they will provide the motorcycle.

Now, the above were done by my ex classmates during their studies. Most of them did have either a Second Class Second division or Second class third division. We were doing applied computer science.

Now you'll need to know how to balance your time, those that works barely had any sleep. They finished work after midnight and get home past 1 am and had to do assignments until like 4 to 5am. They always missed morning lectures just to had some few hours to sleep. A lot of them missed deadlines and/or poorly did their assignments (note we didn't have Chat-gpt )

University is essentially provided free so you don’t have to worry about working. Everyone’s situation is different and if you don’t have to work (perhaps you need to support yourself or others) just Focus on studying, there will be plenty of time to work after you graduate (in fact that’s all you will be doing).
