The university period is marked by different factors and one of them is the economic one. When starting their studies, many young people must cover expenses that not only address the payment of tuition and registration, but are also destined for food, work material and even entertainment.
In Colombia, there are universities or institutes that have dual schedules and that makes it easier for some students to work and study. However, not all curricular and academic curricula are the same, so there are study plans that spend most of the time in higher, technological or technical education institutions.

According to information from the administrative and accounting software Siigo, new technologies have become relevant in recent times. In reality, social networks are the main protagonists to the point where they are a way of obtaining income.
