Usually, the quadruple question marks is open to debate, but you sir, if you can give me one good action to replace them in this case, well then you will blow my mind.

Put the capital into real estate?

Get a loan, focus on getting the best grades you can instead of working 4-5 days a week, then get a well-paid job with your First.

how well does it pay- im off to uni, and deffo thinking of signing up to this-- if you can't give out details- for instance would it pay for a student night out?

I found this thread on The Student Room. Has quite a bit of information.

£5/ £4 depending on the store
Like buying alcohol as normal!
Its more of a monthly thing...about 6-8+ a month, depending on how many visits they need to get done (ie. more at christmas etc)
No, but you might as well post it straight away....take a stamped/ addressed envelope with you and do it asap
Yes...20p a mile

Hope that helps!

Edit: on top of the £4/£5 you get either £3/£4 for your alcohol that you buy and of course you keep it

So it seems you get to keep the alcohol that you buy!

I dont understand, surely the second you sell them, it is profit no?

Unfortunately, not everything sells. However, if they do sell, what you do with the capital to make profit is open for debate.

Basic web design earns me decently on top of my regular job, sometimes around £100 an evening or more. Computer buildups and repair also earn around £60-£80 an evening. It's just about finding the people who are willing to pay you.
