Find Out The New Self-Employed Path That Uni Students Are Using To Earn Income WHILE STUDYING

Hi, I'm Doris!

MDRT Achiever · Financial Advisor · Student Career Mentor

And I didn't plan how my life eventually turned out. I was a uni student juggling multiple part-time jobs to fund my own life, with no real idea what I wanted to do after graduating. Financial advisory was never part of the plan. I joined simply because it looked like a good way to earn some income while studying, and at that point in my life, I felt there was nothing much to lose by trying something new.

What changed everything was seeing what this work actually meant to families. When my own family went through a loss, all these financial responsibilities surfaced that nobody prepares you for. Around the same time, I watched a colleague's family go through something similar, except their day to day barely changed, because someone had planned ahead for them. That was when I understood a claim isn't just a cheque. It's the difference between a family struggling to adjust and a family having the space to heal.

What drives me isn't the awards or the milestones. It's the people I've watched grow. Some of the most meaningful moments in my career have come from mentoring, not selling, and many of the students I work with come to see me as an older sister more than a boss. This industry has its stigma, and I understand why. That's exactly why I believe it needs more good people in it, not fewer.

As a career mentor, I work with students who are already carrying more responsibility than most people their age, the ones balancing studies with part-time work, contributing at home, quietly wanting to build a better future for the people they love. If that sounds like you, I'm not asking you to walk a path I've already finished. I'm still walking it, and I'd be glad to walk it with you.
