Looking for flexible job

Hi,

I'm a mature student (23 years old) who has just completed my first year of university.

i have mounting debts and not a penny to my name at the moment so i am in desperate need of a job this summer break. I'm not having a lot of luck finding one that fits my needs. My uni has given me a ton of work including essays and a large editing assignment (i'm on a film degree) that will easily take up most of my summer break. As well as this I'm trying to find time to produce and direct a short film while i have access to the schools equipment (effectively saving me 10k on a budget) - this is very important to me.

Can anyone offer any advice for me? Do you know of any jobs that suit my needs?

I'm looking for a job that will allow me to continue with my work (via my laptop). I'm willing to do anything that would allow me to earn money while working. So i'd be happy with some kind of night job where you'd be left mainly to yourself, or a job at home or literally anything that allows me to work. There must be something out there.

Any help or advice is really appreciated.

Thanks

    You want someone to pay you to do your own thing? I think you'll really struggle, sorry!

    Your best bet is probably just to work the fewest hours you need to pay the bills and do your own thing every other hour you're awake.

    Spot on! Get a night time job such as Blockbusters or maccy d's etc and then do your other work during the day

    If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!
