music stores/game stores/topman/river island all cry out for college students tbh as they are quite flexible in the times they can work.

In fairness, Macky D's isn't bad i hear, and they've a really good management training scheme, and every year they come out pretty well in the top 100 companies to work for poll.

Anyway, you could end up doing anything, in my time as a student I worked as a waitress, check-out clerk, in a pub, doing marketing work, in a department store, in a record shop, as a tutor, I'm sure there are a few others but I can't remember them right now. There are loads of options, i know people who teach music to kids, people who work in Dunnes, work in betting shops, book shops, work teaching english to foreign nationals, people who mind kids, etc all you have to do is knock up a load of cvs, hand them into the shops, approach management-be friendly, and you'll find something grand.Sometimes you can be lucky and find something on campus in the shops, with the soc's or in the library. Or you can get really lucky and do work experience for a company and they'll keep you on.

Only thing I would advise against-just from personal experience-is working in a pub-while working in a pub can be great craic, it can at times lead to too much craic, not enough study and the occasional drinking of the wages-but that's just my opinion. Good luck.
