need some income

[qandaseeker]

hi, im in full time education now and i dont earn anything really. my family doesnt support me although i live with them. i try to make a living by selling stuff on ebay, but thats very rare. i went in to part time work early this year but realised i cant study and work at the same time.

i was wondering if there is ant jobs out there that i can do from home. i dont want to fall for those "work from home" scams. i just want a decent pay. please help me as i am in need of money urgently.

thank you

Well there's part time work and there's part time work! How about working behind a bar for a couple of nights a week? Or my local corner shop employs a couple of students to work a couple of nights or one morning or afternoon shift at the weekend. They've just taken on a new student who works 8 hours a week. Okay, so you won't make your fortune, but at least you'd have some money coming in!

surely working part time from home isnt any different from having a part time job? (except it pays less!)
you would still have to put time into a from home job wouldnt you? If you have realised you cant study and work, then you either give up study to work, or give up work to study. I am curious to know if you have no income and your family isnt supporting you, how are you paying rent and buying food???
also how many hours do you actually spend in education? I havent met a student yet who does more than about 25 hours a week

Are you still at school or in Further Education?

to bednobs:

im living with my parents. they pay the rent and buy the food for the house. what i mean by they dont support me is that they dont give me any money to spend! i study 20 hours a week (5-9) in evening classes and 6 hours a week in college during the day.

to Tups:

Yes im in further education studying GCSE (resits) and hope to do my a levels next year.

i know how you feel when i was at college i coldnt get a job i was to busy studying , it is hard xxxxx

[bednobs]

well thats only 26 hours a week - plenty of time to get a part time job.
i think you must be under a misapprehension about hat food/council tax/rent costs if you feel they are not supporting you!

cant u get ema .?how old are u ?

Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh but thats only 26 hours a week? most people work 37+ hours and still look after kids and run a house, i cann't see how you don't have time for a part time job if your prepared to do the hours at home why cann't you go do them in a work place?

[rachael88]

i got ema its only �30 but it is something it got me through
for my dinner i just brought in sandwiches saves alot of money

i just never bought anything

when i was at college i was in 9 to 5 and then i had to go back at 6 till 7 every day but wk ends as colleges was not open on wk ends lol, i was so tyred

I worked full time, ran a home and studied for my degrees at the same time.

There is no reason at all why you can't work part time - you could work weekends at a supermarket, for example.

i am 19 years old and ive tried 100s of jobs but they all ask for flexibility, which i cant give since im studying full time.

Don't know if you live in a Town or not, but pubs, restaurants, take-aways (KFC etc ) and clubs are always looking for part-time weekend staff.
Its been like that for years.

How about proof reading? (How's your grammar, etc?)

No idea what the site is like but it suggests other work-at-home opportunities too.
