    My best undergrad job was teaching undegrad flunkies at $20/hour. I ususally got 20 hours a week, which was quite good.

    The flunkies were dumb, though.

      Heh, I'm getting paid just over $24/hr. this summer. Then it's back to being a lowly teaching assistant for $10/hr. when school starts.

          I get around AU $15 an hour at my casual job.
          I also had a job at a computer shop, but the pay worked out to less than AU $3.5 an hour. Needless to say that after I found out my pay rate, I didn't come back for a second week.

            Depending on what he's doing £5.35 is bugger all. You'd get £7-10 an hour as an office temp in Reading, even as a student. £5.35 is part time shop assistant money.

              The cost of a pint in Reading more than makes up for that difference in wages...

                £2 an hour more is a pint an hours difference. Good luck to you if you can drink 8 pints a day and get up at 6:35.

                  The reason Bod's isn't paying tax (NIC) is that he is either

                  1) Defrauding the tax system
                  2) Lying about not paying tax
                  3) Or not earning as much as he claims

                  Which do you reckon it is?

                    As an economics student you'd think he'd have some idea about the tax laws wouldn't you.

                      Well, he will be paying National Insurance... but he can get exemption from paying Income Tax (and then claiming it back!) providing he doesn't subsequently exceed the personal allowance.

                        Yeah. Which is very different from suggesting there is some law that means students on summer jobs don't have to pay tax.

                          I cannot remember the minimum wage in Illinois, but Iowa's minimum wage is $5.15 an hour.

                          Anyway, I work at the Rock Island Arsenal, which is located on the Illinois side of the river. I get paid $11.01 an hour but I have to quit the job in late July since it's temporary. I work as an office assistant.
