Work is not always an issue unless you are looking to get something full time. Though there are many different types of jobs available, especially to the UC Berkeley students, the majority of them or only available part time. That can make it a little rough if you live off campus and are trying to support yourself and pay for your schooling. Fear not though I managed to make it and you can too. It may be a bit tough but I just sought out a couple Part time jobs that had hours I could work with and survived and then some. You can also check on campus as there are several part time jobs there to be had if you are interested.
