Your total earnings will depend on factors such as your hourly rate, working hours, overtime availability, taxes, and living expenses.<\/p>\n<p>Many students are able to cover their program expenses and use part of their earnings to travel during the grace period, while others choose to save the money for when they return home.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"faq__content-item | js-faq-item\">\n            <div class=\"faq__content-item--title o-20-500 | js-faq-title\">\n                <p>\n                    Is Overtime Paid?                <\/p>\n                <span><\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"faq__content-item--content\">\n                <p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Yes.
