These are the experiences of students who had part-time jobs while they were in school.
Realizing that people wanted snacks around campus, I decided to start with spring rolls and fruit drinks during my second year at the University of Ghana. When I started, it was difficult to get buyers. I registered for stands during hall and department week celebrations and that increased my popularity. In time I could make enough money to tide me over.

Learning to do make-up during the vacation was helpful. I knew many of my mates liked to make up. I made flyers to get people to notice me and kept advertising my brand during campus programs. My products were quality and my prices were affordable. I worked anywhere my clients felt comfortable.
