Working at the usual Cineworld until mid July when I have an internship for 8 weeks. Lucky for me it's both relevant and pays well

Did the whole working at somewhere related to my degree last summer in an office, got so bored and sick of being in doors I've gone for the exact opposite this summer, working at Alton Towers! wahey!

Ill hopefully try and get something at liverpool airport.. not sure how to go about it though.

I'm on a 9 week industrial placement in an engineering firm. I'll be designing and testing electronic drive systems and probably building **** loads of control circuitry.

Although not in Uni, just got myself a job in Dunelm Mill working the Tills.

£5.00ph for 16 years old isnt too shabby!

I just carried on working at the restaurant I was at during my second year last summer. Not bothering this summer as I start my fulltime job in August. Time for a well earned month off

I'm moving to London to work on a large project with my current job. We just got investment and are hiring more people and getting an office. Yay!

I carried on working at marks and sparks like I did all the way through uni

Rearranged my hours to fit more drinking and socialising in though.

Hopefully a job a my local teco. But its better than doing nothing tbh.

What are they like to work for is pay good for 16 yearolds?

Under 18 = £4.65 per hour or something similar.

I've worked there for 2 years and get £6.35 per hour.

im working in a college doing web design.

i extended my placement from the origional 10 months to 14 for extra benjamins, entirely related to my degree.

I work at Asda :rolleyes:

fun. Although I love their flexibility; I can come back and leave whenever I want, just as long as I work at least 12 weeks a year!

Phog · 29 May 2008 at 13:13

Auxiliary nurse, study biomedical science with plan to go into post-grad medicine. I'd say it was fairly related!

PinkFloyd · 29 May 2008 at 13:23

Working in IT support flat out over the summer.
Not related to my course, but not completely unrelated. In that general interests follow along from each other.

Really enjoy the job, nice atmosphere, and good money also

I worked in a warehouse picking and packing books, was quite good fun

scared

I was an assistant research chemist at the University of Surrey in between AS and A2, doing experiments and writing a scientific paper (which was inconclusive though). I had/have no interest in chemistry - the opportunity simply arose and I took it. It was tough and new, but rewarding in retrospect.

Did partial retail work and partial civil engineering & QS on a site in my year out before uni.

Kreeeee · 29 May 2008 at 13:53

I'll be assisting some System Analysts and Information Architects for a company in London over summer. It's basically paid work experience so I get to see the environment and do a share of the work without needing the usual experience required to do the full job.

I'm working on a summer camp in hong kong for 2 months. Hopefully I'll be helping in golf and football lessons!

Voltar · 29 May 2008 at 14:37

I shall be doing whatever the **** I want

ahahahaha @ ppl who have to work

I jest, I am completing an internship with a law firm in Spain and then I am free to do what I want. Just as long as I write a dissertation at some point

Would like another internship but that won't happen.
Apparently it takes two months to learn to drive? I didnt notice a link on ye olde motorz forumz so I guess that is the achievement.
Oh and I shall be trying to get published too which could be a lot of work

Summer camp in HK. You iz da lucky one. HK is such a cool place to be mate. I want
