How did you make money during the summer holidays?

BLACKEN

So i'm finally finished college for the summer............ but thanks to THE BANKERS!:mad: I've f*ck all chance at getting a decent summer job!

I was thinking that maybe if i used one of my hobbies i could earn some cash on the side!?

So from anyones previous experience has this worked????

And before anyone ejit asks i've already looked into drug dealing and the profit margins are jus to low! :pac::cool:

Hmm - back in my day, if you knew the right people, you could buy a 9 bar for 400 quid if you bought four at a time. You would cut it up & sell it this way;

3 x 1 ounces @ €110 = €330
6 x half ounces @ €60 = €360
8 x quarters @ €35 = €280
15 x 10 spots @ €10 = €150

That's a €720 profit on each bar. Almost a 200% return on investment.

Who's the eejit now?

Ah well sickened to be you! :pac::pac::pac::p

Hobbies! Well i'm great with computers and i've noticed alot of older people 30+ could use a hand when it comes to working a computer/internet. Also me and a mate had this idea to go round all the estates in our town and do gardening for some quick cash plus its outside work!:D

hmm the reason you cant get work is because of the recession that means that others cant afford to be paying you to do their garden!!

30+ for computer/internet help - not sure on that!!!

and sickening for the likes of us... my friend one day you will leave college and be one of us! also you are looking for work in the summer so i dont really know what we have to be sickened about as you want what we have?????
