What work do you do and how much do you earn?

I'm simply amazed how many students on here don't work as well

Does it not get annoying having to ask your parents for money for everything you want :/

I've only been working since the second half of my third year. Never really needed to before because I either made money selling old stuff so I could buy new, or I just didn't bother buying much, so I never really needed extra income.
Had my loan to cover for the basics like books and travelling.

Only really looked for a job because I had too much free time and wanted to do something productive, and because I needed to save up so I don't end up in too much debt while doing my Masters.

Well i get a modest alllowance each month which covers most of my living costs and keeps the car on the road, my student loan covers my tuition and accomodation fees, i have had jobs in the past but usually spend the money on gadgets/clothes etc, its hard to find well paid work here unless your prepared to go full time and make a career out of it.

I keep telling myself i'll pay this and that off when i graduate, my parents will see other young people working and point this out to me although i was the only student with a part time job in my student place last year.

I'm an only child so am used to my parents paying close attention to what i do etc, when i worked part time i sometimes felt i was missing out on student activities etc.

How about a poll?

Student / not looking for work
Out of work
£10k >
£10 to £15k
£15 to £20k
£20 to £25
£25 to £30k
£30 to £40k
£40 to £60k
£60 to £80k
£80 to £100k
£100k +

Be the best way of getting results, otherwise people wave their e-peen about or profess to be a student and have no cash (because you drank it all )

I don'r earn enough in my own opinion, and don't really want to announce the exact figures.
