E-commerce / Your Own Online Business
You build your own online shop or business.
Instead of (or alongside) studies, you build your own online business: a shop, a brand, a digital product. High risk, but also a high potential reward and freedom.
Is it for you?
This field usually suits people of the enterprising and artistic type (RIASEC model). Initiative, self-discipline, a readiness to learn from mistakes. No degree needed.
Salary (indicative, gross/month)
| Stage | Pay |
|---|---|
| Starting out | variable / PLN 0-5k |
| With experience | PLN 0-50k (very variable) |
These are indicative figures — real pay depends on city, company, specialisation and contract type.
