Living off part-time job
Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2017 1:11 am
Hello!
I'm new and I'd just like to start off by saying that you all have a wonderful community here!
But on to the issue at hand: I'm a recent college grad who has been planning for some time to spend 1+ year(s) in Phnom Penh doing research at Calmette Hospital. Calmette has very limited funds, so I was forced to find funding from outside institutions. I thought I had secured that funding (was looking at about $10,000 for the year - not to pocket any, just for living expenses - seem reasonable?), but unfortunately I recently found out that my funding had been cut for bureaucratic reasons.
So now I'm scrambling to find new funding, but in the meantime, I'm wondering if it's feasible to find a part-time job in Phnom Penh that I could support myself with while still spending ~20ish hours/week at the hospital? Those hours aren't set, I'm just estimating what my time commitment at the hospital will be. Thank you guys so much for any help, opinions, or information you can give me!
Edit: I've already obtained a business visa; it's valid through December 2017
