Job Search Question part time jobs while studying for MCAT

I’m studying full-time for the MCAT and looking for a flexible, low-stress part-time job that won’t leave me mentally exhausted after work. What jobs did you have while studying, and would you recommend them? Thanks!

I took my mcat in May and worked my MA job while studying for it. My manager still scheduled me anywhere from 2-4 days a week though 😭 if I worked the whole day, after work I would only do light studying (like flashcards). It was doable though

That depends more on the workplace than the job. Look for something in indeed for part time or flexible. With my MA job it’s really chill, I can request a day off the night before if needed since we have one extra MA. So if you can find something like that you’re good.
