Working in fast food or retail is fine, but I would like to learn skills that could lead to better job opportunities. Are there any free online resources for this? I have seen a lot of videos on TikTok about making money through surveys and other simple tasks, but I am unsure if they are legitimate or safe. I do not have a car, and relying on city buses, which come every hour, is quite inconvenient. I am looking for ways to earn some extra money to help with bills and daily expenses.
explore various side hustles such as freelance writing, graphic design, tutoring, social media management, and web development. Other options include part-time gigs like babysitting, pet sitting, food delivery, and selling handmade crafts or goods online. Online platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, and Etsy can be helpful.

Find some front desk jobs at the university. The best are night shift ones where it’s not too busy and you can study/watch YouTube/learn something or whatever when it’s slow. They don’t pay super great but it’s easy money.

I encourage doing app recommendations. I’ve made hundreds simply recommending people to apps. It is simple, reasonably easy, and can be done at any time and from any location.
As a college student, you feel you have a lot of time but in truth you can only give 4 hours of your day towards gainable employment.
And even then, this work needs to be menial and not mentally exhausting since coursework and assignments can take a toll on your mental health.
For such minimal hours, the best work that you can do I would think may be working as a courier or office messenger. Alternatively, you can look for an internship related to your course and agree on the hours of work
