So then, I'm back from uni for the summer, and I have four and a bit months to kill before I return. I have a few applications for jobs in at the moment, but if you could throw at me any ideas I might not have thought of, that would be fantastic!

I'm based near Gatwick Airport or in Watford, depending upon where the jobs are...!

Thanks in advance!

SomethingHelpful to your degree or longer terms employment potential

Just Cash (in hand?)

Something fun ? Give us a clue.

Anti social hours are always handy for money. So front desk at a hotel overnight. Baggage Handler? Airport Car park attendant etc

Festival catering? I've done it throughout uni and although it's mind numbing and very hard work, you come out the other end with good earnings. The year before last I got £600 for working Glastonbury, £2-300 for the weekend festivals; I've worked Download, V fest, Global Gathering, Creamfields, Bestival etc etc and also Donington/Silverstone racing etc. Festivals aren't my idea of fun but the money is good.

Depending on your degree you may want to use your time more wisely and do something which would be more attractive to future employers. What degree are you doing?

Tesco? They always seem to be hiring and pay decent for what you do.
