CULTURE NOTE |
A 2024 survey by the part-time job platform Albamon found that Korean college students primarily work part-time to earn spending money (78%), which is followed by gaining social experience (26.3%) and saving for travel or purchases (12.5%). Preferred job types include positions at restaurants (25.9%), fast food outlets or cafes (25.3%), tutoring (18.1%), convenience stores (15.5%), and warehouses (10.1%). Students earn an average of 1.38 million won per month. Location and schedule flexibility are prioritized over salary (Source).
