International Students: Best Countries to Earn the Most While Studying
Studying abroad is a period of seemingly ice-cream-like excitement; however, it is not without its challenges to manage finances in this course of higher education. Apart from guidance in university selection and test preparations to fulfill the requirements of their visa applications, we at Catalyst Learning by Sanchita help students plan their study abroad journey from finance planning to the end. One of those factors students consider is how many working hours they can spend and how much they can earn to support themselves during their studies abroad and gain international work experience.
