This year’s summer vacation is already in full swing and with it the student work season, the number of applications peaks during this period. At the same time, the period of festivals has also started, and young people are happy to collect for these events – which are not exactly tailored to student wallets – which further increases the interest in student works. In addition to the implementation of short-term plans, however, the members of the younger generation are much more purposeful: in addition to earning money, gaining professional experience and the anxiety of choosing a career lead them to work as a student.

That is why students who have reached the age of 15 take advantage of the opportunity to work during the school holidays, which in many cases is created by their parents’ jobs. But students studying abroad can also undertake student work at home if they have a naturalized full-time student ID card – pointed out Róbert Göbl, head of the Mind-Diák Szövetkezet.

You can also go to the festival from your student wallet

With the arrival of summer, the festival season has also started, and those who want to party can choose from countless options: Balaton Sound opened on July 3, then EFOTT started on July 10, then East Fest starts on July 17, August 7 the Sziget Festival, the Strand festival in Zamárdi from August 22, SZIN from August 28, and BME Days in September – just to name a few of the bigger ones. A large proportion of young Hungarians still participate in these festivals, but ticket and drink prices, as well as accommodation costs, put a significant burden on the wallets of festival-goers. It is not surprising that one of the main motivations for taking on student work in the summer is fundraising for festivals, but at the same time, the majority of students still partially rely on their parents. The most recent survey by the Youth Research Institute revealed that 42 percent of Hungarians would allow young people to go to festivals alone up to the age of 17, and more than half of those surveyed (58 percent) believed that only 18-year-olds can be allowed without an adult escort.
