I need to make £7K until next June so I can pay off some debts. I am not after a career, and because I failed at uni and my work experience is awful, the only job that seems decent and that it shouldn't be a problem to get quickly is a motorcycle courier (in London).
I have a Suzuki GS 500 with a pannier. I am going to buy a GPS system with which I assume the job will become easy (I won't keep getting lost). My insurance is estimated at £80/month.
I've done the job 2 years ago (only for 1 month), but I only made £300-£350/ week. My fuel costs were about £50/week I think. But I think now with the GPS system I won't get lost all the time, so I am assuming I can make more.
I'd like to hear some advice if it's possible to reach my target by 1 June, even better by 1 of May. Remember I am not looking for a long term career, and can bear the harsh conditions as its only 6 months, and after my debt is clear I won't need to work anymore.
Some alternative employment suggestions also helpful

I would have thought "yes" .. to earn £7k in 6 months you only need to pull in approx £270 a week (after all your costs)....
PS note of caution = GPS systems are the thieves delight = don't ever leave it on the bike or 5 mins later it will have gone ..

get a job in a super market or something.. you could make 7k in 6 months full tume for sure.
1) u won't use fuel
2) u won't have to deal with other peoples driving
3)it's safer.
gps does help BUT you won't save that much fuel.
