This depends massively on so many factors - level of study, amount of time available, the type of work you enjoy etc. Are you looking into jobs for yourself whilst you're studying?

Yeah

In that case, what sort of things interest you, or conversely, is there anything you know you wouldn't enjoy doing (e.g. customer-facing roles like serving in a restaurant or coffee shop, remote work, etc.)?

111 call handler - 12 hours a week and work from home at £11/hour. You don't need to be a health professional as you are just following prompts on a Screeen. It's also a good experience for learning how to communicate with a wide variety of people / building confidence and empathy skills. Downside is that you will get people who are very rude, incoherent and abusive

Added bonus is that if you don't have a foreign accent, it eliminates discrimination based on how you look.

EDIT - depending on where you work, pension scheme is pretty decent (save young coz trust me, you'll regret it when you're older)
