Student or Retail for Car Insurance

WIll be taking out car insurance for my daughter, which will be in her name for her own car (im just paying on my card!!) in the next couple of days.
What ive been wondering is when ive done quotes etc am i supposed to put that shes a student (she does 5 days a week at college, although various hours a day from 2-5 hours a day) or that shes in retail (she works at Clarks shoe shop Saturdays for 4 hours and Wednesdays for 4 hours)?
It only makes a difference of about 30 pound but if she can put student and be fully covered instead of retail and pay the extra every little helps.

Personally I'd put that she's a student. She does 5 days a week so to me she's a full time student.
If I had 2 jobs I'd choose the one I spend the most time at, unless they were equal then I'd choose the one that gave me a cheaper quote:heart2: Love isn't finding someone you can live with. It's finding someone you can't live without :heart2:0 -

Full time student and part time employee the student aspect wins. Some insurers do ask about 2nd jobs in which case the part time job would have to be listed thereAll posts made are simply my own opinions and are neither professional advice nor the opinions of my employers
