Many of my friends also worked part-time (or as a student) in the restaurant/bar business. It is quite common for students to do this kind of jobs (in fact, a big percentage of this bussiness runs on student-jobs etc). Another common job is to work at local supermarkets and stuff. Or at big factories (although these are often not so pleasant jobs)...


Personally I work fulltime in a theater, being a theater technician, I'm my own boss (well I have a boss above me, but I basicly can do whatever I want when I want, as long a the job gets done), the hours are extremely inregular and you have to do a lot of overtime. But the job is also very extremely versatile.

i did a paper round and have worked in 2 restaurants (1st for 3 years - i was 11 when i started ) and i DJ - but thats not easy work and expensive to start.
i might quit my job now at the 2nd restaurant because i hate the manager's and the pay is crap
but i might be starting up my own business if i can get the money of my dad (on loan )

If you can be bothered to do a paper round, then it's worth the money. If you can be bothered to do the morning paper round every day, then you'll have alot of money for a little job.

I do a weekly paper round, which I get £10 for. It's easy, and the money adds up once you've been doing it for a while

But, I would prefer to have a job in say, a restraunt, computer store, etc.

I don't really like my job, and I can't really be bothered to do it most weeks, but I just do it for the money So if you can find a better job with good pay, good on ya

ive done a paper round, got paid the same, i could do my round in about an hour, and i got faster as i went, thats good pay my friend, 1.70 for an hours work, compared to my restaurant pay that isnt even min wage... i get paid £15 for 8 hours work.... now THAT's bad pay

yer i did a round for 2 years. and did it in an hour or 40 mins ish
even at the age of 11 i was on £3.25 per hour and now im on £3  but it isnt great pay - but when you think a 6 hour shift is £18 it seems ok - but realistically its crap pay. £3 an hour isnt that good either - but fo £1.70ish per hour (or slightly less) at 6 AM (5 some times i did it) in thunderstorms....nah thanks id rather not do it again

i dont need luck, my dad hasd been a carpet and bed trader for 2o years, ad has may contacts he has gained since he worked with carpets since 16 (he's 50 this year!)
so with the use of his wharehouse and £5000 capital loaned to me by him i should do fine. 2 staff members (me and a mate) to roll, stack/store carpets (6m each - 12 m rolls (wide) and varying m's in length.) and then selling them. i should be fine. dad will help me has he has been self employed for over 20 years

i'd hate to work in a restaurant.... just cause i got a feeling i'd always drop stuff .... meh, people think you spit in their food... i can spit in someones laptop or whatever. lol
