Jobs for Humanities Majors

Technical students are initially in a better position because they get practical skills and can apply their knowledge to work even before they graduate. But humanities students are also human beings and also want to eat. How to find a normal job before graduation and what is the best way to get a good income?

What part-time job?

There are a lot of options. Much depends on the chosen specialty and pre-existing knowledge, but more often all more or less familiar types of work suggest that the work will have to just in time for school. And this is unacceptable, because when do you get knowledge?

Therefore, we suggest paying attention to modern professions:

• SMM-manager. Simplifying things to the point of impossibility, this is a person who leads accounts in social networks. Starting from forming a content plan to writing posts, stories and forming a custom design. Works best in conjunction with a designer and copywriter, but with minimal ability, he can do everything on his own.
• Editor. Processes ready-made texts, articles, advertising, and ordinary posts, as well as any other similar information. The main task is to remove all errors and bring the text to a state close to ideal. Ideal option for excellent students, because it requires an excellent knowledge of the English language. You can start from working as an essay editor and help students with their assignments. 
• Copywriter. Here, too, you need a good knowledge of English, but the main thing – the ability to create a coherent, literate, and useful text for the reader, which will also meet the technical specifications. This profession is interesting in that you need to regularly study a lot of the most diverse information.
• Ad manager. A more “technical” specialist, from a humanitarian point of view. This professional is engaged in the setting up of targeting advertising. Requires a serious knowledge of this particular area, but with their presence brings a good income and leaves a lot of time for training.
• SEO-specialist. Another option for the “technical” part of the humanities, focused on content for websites. The search for keywords, the selection of topics for writing articles, and much more – this is his diocese. As in the previous case, requires specialized training.

How do you learn?

In general, all of the above can be learned for free by simply searching for information on the Internet. But in practice, it turns out that a lot of data has already become outdated (especially important for SEO and SMM-specialists, as well as for targeting), and what is freely available and still more or less suitable for today’s realities, is buried in tons of “water” and useless information.

This is why there are all kinds of courses. It provides all the relevant information in a concise, concrete form. After completing the course, you can immediately get to work. Moreover, in many cases, you can find clients while you are still learning on the course.

The learning process itself is in no way connected with the university and usually takes place in the evenings. You will have to forget about student life for a while, but the result is worth it. At least because going out and having fun with money in your pocket is much more comfortable than without it.

How much money can you make?

Knowledge isn’t given away for free these days, so you’ll be interested in the “How much will I make from this?” question. And yes, this is a true specification, because learn, learn and learn again, as bequeathed grandfather Lenin, of course, is valuable in itself, but I would like to understand the level of potential wages. And here you will not be disappointed. We are not talking about miserable 10-15 thousand, which is usually offered by employers to students.

• SMM-manager. Conducting one project will bring from 10 to 50 thousand rubles. And the time per client is very little spent if you work quickly.
• Editor. Usually, they are paid for the volume of text, on average 50 to 100 rubles per 1000 characters. The length of one post on social networks is usually up to 2000 characters, and its editing takes a maximum of 10-20 minutes. Per hour you get from 300 to 1000 rubles. Not bad for part-time work?
• Copywriter. Most often, too pay for the volume, but the price is already higher here, as well as more work. Generally speaking, one article of 5000 characters if you want you can write for 1-2 hours. The payment depends very much on the experience of the copywriter, but up to 100 rubles per 1000 characters can go very quickly. And then beyond 200, 300, 500, and so on. And it turns out that in 2 hours you can earn about 500 rubles at the minimum.
• Ad manager. Since it requires more knowledge, and the competition is lower, the payment is just above. One project can bring 10,000 rubles a month and more. At first, you will have to spend a lot of time on it, but after the initial setup, further proofreading will only take minutes, and the income will bring full value.
• SEO specialist. The principle is the same as that of the targeting, as well as the total amount paid. But the tasks are somewhat different. The work at the start there is even more, but the subsequent maintenance of the project requires almost no time at all.
