    Heya Peeps,

    The time has come due to petrol costs to get myself a part time job. This is where you come in, i need you to think up some jobs i could apply for..

    I'm not keen on working in a shop after bad experience's with a job i had in GAP.

    Anyways..

    Regards,
    Rob Hawkes.

    Repairing computers? Easy to do and as long as you don't suck your name goes around. I made $50 just setting up someone with DSL and replacing a fried NIC

    Testing experimental drugs are a good way to get cash. £2000 in 6 days if you're lucky. Risk of permanent damage but nothing worse than a good night out :D

    Don't drink or smoke/like smoke so bar work is outta the question.

    Custom Computer Assembly / Installation / Upgrades.. i could do that easy enough.. not sure how i'd go about advertising my services for that..?

    Repairing Comps.. not sure cos i know how to build them etc.. but i wouldn't know how to fix a hardware problem.. unless it was really easy.. like a plug had fallen out blah blah.

    Find out if your uni has an "AimHigher" or "Widening Participation" program, if they do, they have lotsa monies, and always need help from mail students who are confident.

    other than that, security consult i always like :thumb: just tell people not to be so stupid, use a regexp before making that SQL, and that MD5 is flawed.
