    Freelance work is a pain in the proverbial, because unless you have some contacts or friends of friends who need help, likelyhood is that you will get very little work, if any work at all. I know because I tried, the shops (a few local PC repair places) and people like PC world monopolise the business in my area. It may be different for you, but thats what it was like for me!

    I already have a monthly job which pays £45 for 2 hours of my time :eek: Being a student i don't need full time work just a little extra money to supplement my 'real world' job.

    I have found the work i have had before good as its flexible and i can do it when i want.
