If you consider taking on a part time job, don’t let all the advantages, such as lots of free time, tempt you. The first thing to do is to check if working part time will be enough to cover your expenses, and if it is not enough then there is no point to start that job, but rather continue the search for work that will be more rewarding. However, some companies still offer benefits for employees who work 30 hours a week, so perhaps there is something that you can ask about and arrange.
