I need some money and other than getting a job, i can't think of any other ways. I cant get a job because i only have time to do school work (and a bit of riding) throughout the week.

Any help?
Cheers

  • Note: I do have some free time, just not enough to have a job.

    Rob banks? Killer for hire? Drug dealer? Suppose those are jobs really.

    Stop being a lazy scrote? You have more free time now than you ever will, sure you can fit a few hours work in somewhere, folk with proper jobs manage to balance things.
  • you are wrong on so many levels. 'Folk with proper jobs'. These people are already making money, hence the job, so why are you mentioning them? studying for A-levels, in my case, has an exceedingly high amount of work. i am not being lazy, i am just focussing on getting good A-levels. I said above i was not looking for a job, just some quick ways of making money. Enough of your stupid snarky comments please.

    I came across this the other day, I think I'd probably have a go myself if you didn't have to be 18 to bet (obviously this is no help at all if you aren't 18 yet!)

  • :roll: If we knew the anwser to this question im sure many of us would not have jobs..... but as suggested, get a job with low hours? when studying for a levels I had a job where I worked 3 hours a night for 2 nights of the week and sometimes a day at the weekend. I'm afraid njee20 is correct though, the most free time you will have it probably now!

    Oh, and I wouldn't go down the betting route (havent read the link), that bound to only land you in trouble

    An easy and legal way to make money with out taking up a lot of time? If you do find one let me know, I could do with some more time to ride my bikes.
  • Collect scrap, sperm donor, male escort, stripper, paper boy, get with an old MILF and let her give you money, medical trials, sell a kidney, drug dealing, running a protection racket, hitman, counterfeit goods runner, burgulary, stealing lorries, internet scams, raid local off licences.

    Some ideas for you to get on with :D

    You're not working in the mornings or at the weekend with A levels.

    Paper rounds, buying stuff at car boots and re selling, going to auctions during the week outside studies, cleaning toilets, working in shops, whatever gets the cash in.

    Just work, I went to more gigs/clubs/pubs/parties/festivals aged 14-20 than I have in the last 16 years

    Oh and FYI I had 3 paper rounds, worked in a shop on Sunday as a cleaner, re painted half our neighbours house and went to car auctions.

  • If you want money, you bIoody well work for it you lazy sack of shit!

    I had a job when I did my A-levels as I'm sure did most other people on here.

    I worked in a restaurant/bar 2 Weeknights from 6-9 and then 4-12 on sat and 10-2 on Sunday. Still managed to go drinking, shagging, riding and somehow managed to fit in the time to do my a-levels (and get good grades) too. Birds were hot, tips were awesome, there were lockins AND I learned how to cook. Best job I've ever had!

    MAN I wish I could afford to go back there! Being a "grown-up" sucks ass :cry:

    Stop being such a whiney little scrote and MTFU!
  • Should have got an apprenticeship, get some hands on experience, sent to college to do the relevant qualifications all paid for by company and get paid for it too ! I feel smug at times :lol:

    I had a 20 hour a week job while studying for my SAT back in America, and passed in the top 25% for the country.

    There 2 people in life, people with money who work, or people like you who expect things to be handed to you and live on benefits. I'd much rather earn my money.

    Jesus i'm working full time right now and doing full time university (which requires more time per week than studying for a levels) and still have time to do things with my wife and ride the bikes a fair bit.

    Stop being a lazy scrote. Stop slagging other people off as well for giving you the right answer.

    Well you must be a particular breed of moron then. You're certainly not the only person to have ever done A-levels, and you wouldn't be the only A-level student with a job in, say, Subway, KFC, Maccie Ds, the local chippy, paper round etc etc etc.
    You lazy little scrote.
  • i congratulate CWNT for having such a blaze of a time as a youth, although I would like to ask you to explain how I am whining and the whole point of this question is to find out what to do, to avoid being a sack of shit. for a person who apparently got 'good' a-levels, you're not too good at putting two and two together. spongey, i'd just like to say that I work from 730am to 8pm during the weekdays.

    thank you to anyone who contributed to answering my question.

    How do you work from 7:30am to 8pm every weekday? Unless of course your saying you go to school, and then do your homework afterwards.

    Get a job on the weekends or something man. I think we put 2 and 2 together perfectly fine. You seem to be under the illusion that your the only one who has done A-levels and have not a minute of free time because your "studying" so hard, and because of this have no time for a job, and expect to find a get rich quick or easy money making scheme.

    I just find it so hard to beleive that you are studying for A levels and have no time on weekends or even during the week to work. I'm in univeristy, which for every hour spent in class is 3 hours at home revising, and I manage to fit a full time job plus a social life and cycling into my schedule.

    It's not though is it. You want to know how to get some free money because you're too lazy to get a job and earn like the rest of the population, you absolute fucknut!

    You work from 7:30am to 8pm during workdays? But you've been posting on here since half 6. How is that working?

    Jog on sunshine!

    This Iridebikes kid is an interesting character isn't he.

    I was wondering how he's so busy as well with no time on his hands to do any form of work, but he's posting on forums.

    If he's focusing so hard on his a-levels why is he having such a hard time punctuating and use proper grammar, and even really forming proper sentences. The bold above really does sum him up perfectly.

    Oh, that's unanimous then, you need to sort your life out and get a job!

    You aren't spending 12.5hrs a day on your a-levels, stop being daft! Work one day at the weekend or something, or a few evenings in a restaurant. If you want money, work for it!

    You have a loooooooong time of working ahead of you, and given the state of the economy, it prob wont be doing anything that pleasant, so i would enjoy your freedom while you can

    Reality is that money = work, so there is no quick fix im afraid

    Very true, he's going to have a harsh wake up call when he hits the real world if he thinks studying is as hard as it gets.

    Christ, 7.30 to 20.00, how many a levels? I passed 5 and never started before 9.00 and never finished after 18.00. Had an excellent batting average, drank shed loads.

    At 17 you really don't know how lucky you are or what free time really is. If I could go back now I really would, maybe drink a bit less, read the signals but that 's all.

    I'm smelling Troll.
