    That 15 minutes before 5 is very handy...it means I can beat most of the traffic...and I am out early enough to miss the worst of it too, so it doesn't take me too long...

      You will get taxed if you earn enough. Just don't work for more than a few months a year as a student and you'll be okay. I'm paying tax at the mo, but getting it all back (Around £400) next Easter will be handy for me.

        Is this sarcasm?
        I make way more than that.

            I worked 12am-8am 6 days a week (more than fulltime) in a hot-as-hell bakery a couple years ago.

            Of course, now I work 8-4 in a nice, big airconditioned office with big windows, but that's beside the point.

                      5.35 isnt bad for a student, as many jobs 'targeted' at students are on the minimum wage of 4.20 so 5.35 is ok. Consider a full time week time week at that rate would earn Bodds £200, over the summer it's probably about £2500, about half of the annual living costs for a student.

                      Of course, I woudnt get out of bed for less than £6 p/h myself.

                        I get more than that and I'm not even in a "proper" job yet. Hah.

                                My job starts at 21:00.

                                ...and ends when my boss says it does, recently around 11:00.
                                No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.
