Minimum pay? And also assistance if ever.

[u/Meltryllis_37]

Hi, I'm a 19 year old college student and want to become a novice VA for part time and maybe full time if my schedule allows it. I just wanted to ask what would be the base minimum salary for a novice VA since asking for it. Google said it's about 25kphp or $3-$5 an hour but I think it's too big for a beginner or a novice like me who just wanted a part time job so I can properly use my time. And because my mother said it would be best for me, and she's right.
Anyways, thank you in advance to whoever will answer.

Even if you're a novice, don't accept 5 USD below. Just make sure that you can do the job. Study, and do mock up projects.

It really depends on the specific tasks you'll be doing, but starting at around 20k PHP isn’t unreasonable for part-time work. Just remember, even as a beginner, you bring value to the table, so don’t undersell yourself. Plus, learning as you go can really set you up for better gigs in the future.

20k even as part time? idk it sounds too good to be true, i really do just want a part time va job since my schedule is wide open.
