Hi all,

As of tomorrow I have exactly two months in which to earn as much money as I can by doing as much work as possible. I don't really care what I do as long as it pays well. Having just left college I haven't had masses of experience, however I have worked for 18 months in retail and have come away with acceptable A-Level results. I'm off to uni to study Geography in 2011, but this November I'll be moving to Watford for a gap-year programme (don't ask!). I'm sure I'll get plenty of 'gap years are for lazy tts go and get a job I worked my way up from the shop floor to the position of minor deity and I didn't go to university or take a gap year so go and get a full-time job and be a real man' replies, but I've made my decision. So there.

Anyway, has anyone got:

a) Any suggestions that would meet the above criteria
b) A job offer?

My transferable skills would consist mainly of web design/social media/digital marketing as well as being competent in Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator, can handle HTML/CSS. On top of that, I like cars and can play an array of musical instruments.

All help much appreciated!

agency work is your only realistic option - catering, cleaning, warehouse or construction labouring. last one will pay more and get you fit at the same time.

anything else will have a 2 week minimum recruitment process which you won't get through anyway if you are truthful about your period of availability. with an agency, you can be earning within a few days if not fussy what it is you'll be doing.
