[2017.01.10] Part-time Work

Talk about your part-time work experience.

When I was in college, I had many part-time jobs. I wanted to earn my tuition fees. I also wanted to make some pocket money. One summer, I worked at a construction site. It was my first time doing physical labor. I also worked as a tutor for high school students. I enjoyed helping kids with their test-prep. Tutoring also paid well. I also waited tables in coffee shops and restaurants. When I see students working part-time these days, I feel nostalgic. I remember my own experiences. The hourly minimum wage in Korea was hiked up to 6,470 won in 2017. I hope that working conditions will keep improving for hourly workers.
