8 Of The Sweetest Student Jobs

If your wallet is looking pretty desolate at the moment, then here’s a few ideas of some work to fund your drinking habit.

Babysitting

A surprisingly sweet deal while you’re in College, especially as even the coolest parents are normally home in time for you to catch the end of pre-drinks. Also, great fridge benefits and children to laugh at/with.

Promotional Work

Good excuse to dress up in fun t shirts / lycra, and give free shots/food/keyrings to passers by. People always pleased to see you.

Bar Work

Possibility of lock-ins a bonus, though you might have to excuse yourself from a few nights out.

Waiting Staff

Good hand/eye co-ordination advisable. Tips, and you get out earlier than the bar staff, the suckers.

Shop Assistant

Social hours, if you don’t mind sacrificing the odd weekend, and a discount, so be sure to apply to shops you’d actually buy stuff from.

Christmas Temp

From wrapping presents, to selling trees, to Elfing about a Grotto like a boss, the sky’s the limit on this one. A well-timed bit of pocket money.

Getting a role on campus.

From I.T. services to selling sarnies, there’s normally a whole host of positions on campus that you could apply for – all with the added benefit of pretty reasonable hours.

Chugger

ONLY if needs must. We’ve heard they make a killing, and you’re raising money for charity, but you’d better get used to people avoiding eye-contact, and/or outright ignoring you.
