Managing Dependence and Finances During Student Life and Placement Preparation
Today my PG deposit was due and my charger also stopped working, so I had to ask my parents to transfer extra money again. It was only normal expenses, but I still felt embarrassed. I’m grateful they help, obviously, but I keep comparing myself with friends who pay their own rent and wondering if I’ll still be this dependent after graduation. Placement preparation is already taking most of my time, so I can’t randomly take a side job and damage that. I’m trying to understand what small paid work a dependent student can realistically maintain—maybe one fixed technical task or a small monthly target, not some big hustle.
