The researchers employed qualitative research using a phenomenological approach to investigate and assess the living experiences of an active online seller while studying. An in-depth face-to-face interview with the informants provided rich data. The informants were composed of 10 senior high school students. The findings revealed that senior high school students have a different online part-time job that depends on their passion. They can cope with the challenges they meet while studying through scheduling and time management. They manage their time well to be able to comply with school requirements and do extra jobs. Students earn extra income to support their education, personal needs, and other home expenses. Therefore, students benefit from their online part-time jobs in many aspects, especially work experience, and time management plays a vital role in having additional jobs while studying.
