    Work in your local garden center. Learn lots about plants and buckets of dirt ( haha ) and pick up hot older boirds.

    What county do you live in?

    I worked in the maintenance dep. in Merlin Park Hospital during the last two summers and its the cushyst thing since custard filled beanbags.
    i spent more time sleeping during the day at work than i do at college.the breaks are long and if its raining you're inside for the most part of the day.
    same with any semi state owned thingy.

    that said, the money is minimum wage.....
    which is a bit ****ish and the boredom really sets in after a while.

    I just got a letter from the galway security firm I worked for last summer. They're looking for a thousand guys, apparently, and pay for noobs is E7.50 an hour. Considering that some gigs can have 16 hour days that's a lot of money for one days work. I came home from Witnness with 200 yoyos, and the pleasure of nearly being gobbed on by Keith Flint and stopping Morcheeba from going backstage!(hey, they didn't have the passes, I was just doing my job......)icon_twisted.gif )

    Go find a security company and ask for an application form. if there's an interview involved, just remember that the most important thing in security is to keep the public safe. (they always asked that question in galway.)

    I live in Dublin, the Stillorgan area/46A bus route.

    Places in town like Topshop, BT2, Arnotts, Brown Thomas or HMV are usually a good laugh and they pay well.

    Actually its usually great fun as well, if sometimes a bit repetitive during planting season, and not a very good idea if you burn easily.. bit of crack though, although wasnt too many hot women around our one (damn)
