I do 20 hours a week, Saturdays and Sundays only. It's hard work, especially on placement, because it means I'm working 7 days a week. However, bills won't pay themselves.0

im in 3rd year and am in 2 days a week, i spend 2 more days on writing and the rest of the week i work for myself (i do a mixture of ebay and local markets), if i need more time for studies or more money i can shift my work load accordingly. i definately reccomend working for yourself- no having to answer to anyone, you pocket all the proffits, you dont have to get up early and travel to work, you dont need to wear a horrible uniform, you can have a wee or summign to eat as and when you fancy etc. i earn enough to pay my half of the bills (i live with my oh), treat myself occassionally, have an isa going for after graduation and not be in any debt (escept student loans of course). my oh's earnings prevent me from getting the access to learning fund etc. but i do get full loan and grant as we are not married and im under 25 its still assessed on my mum and dad.:T The best things in life are FREE! :T0
