I know what you mean by being in school all day, and seriously, maybe it was WAY less competitive back then, and depending on your program of study. But people in my program, pre-med, people had classes 40 hours a week, plus 10 hours of labs per week, sometimes we have midterm exams on weekends and evenings. So it is really impossible to have a steady job while in school.
I mostly live off of my student loan and my scholarship, and by mooching off my parents, lol.
But seriously, I was able to find a receptionist job that only required 10 hours a week, and some typing work that I can do at home, so it is flexible and I don't need to waste time on travelling.
In the summer, I work full time. So try to find a part time job during school year, or a very flexible job that you can do at home. ANd start applying SUPER EARLY, like in February for summer jobs.
