Ok, I need to make and save money. I'm currently at university completing my undergraduate degree (I'm just about to complete 3rd year and go into honours in Sept for my 4th year). I know what I want to do with my life and the Masters courses I wish to take. If I'm not able to receive funding for them, they can cost between 3-5 grand. I want to save this just in case I don't get funding - also don't want to get into debt! lol So, I need a job for the summer. I thought about lying and taking a full time, permanent job then quitting when I went back to uni in Sept, but would feel bad doing that. I don't know what else I can do. I also have other bills to pay (as we all do), which does hinder me a bit. Could work in London or Spain as have family there, but it's a bit difficult. Need a good well paid job for the summer. Anyone have any ideas?

Would also love to travel - I have thought about doing internships in museums abroad, but they don't pay very well at all :-( And it was others who suggested the permanent job thing - I don't know if I would feel comfortable doing that.

Or if anyone knows of any decent sites for summer/vacational employment? I've been doing some research, but there's so much!!! lol

I am a bit more of a mature student now - I graduated with my BA and worked for a year and a half. After deciding what I wanted to do, I worked in 2 jobs and volunteer placement for about 6 months. I've just gone back to uni to complete the latter half of 3rd year to bring my grades up so I have a better chance of getting a better grade. I'm also volunteering in a museum (one of the fields I may want to get into), and have done for nearly 6 months now. I also plan after my masters to take a year out and work abroad anyway. It's just job options for the moment. I'm not afraid of hard work or taking on more than one job (I was working 60 hours a wee at one point for about 5/6 months).

Try for a temp job within your field of expertise. Ask at the university you attend, they may have contacts or can help.

Sounds like you need a gap year. If you know what your masters will be, get a year's industry experience (probably just as valuable as the masters....) and save some dough.
If you don't mind being a more mature student, reckon that's a plan.

A summer nanny job would give you the chance to travel plus you would make some money. There are plenty of nanny search engines on-line that you can look at potential families.
Best of Luck to you.

You could work a job from home, which would allow you to work round your studies and obviously earn you a decent income. I can offer you just that, if you would like more information, with absolutely no obligation, email me on flp4life@yahoo.co.uk
best wishes
