this summer i need to earn money so that i can fund getting myself driving.
I normally go for physical jobs like working in kennels or petting zoo's (i love working with animals) but this summer i have to take it easy as i have injured my back.
so i need something not too boring (i get bored so easily with non physical jobs) which pays at least £5 per hour.
any ideas?
would temping be a good idea? im not fully familiar with the idea of temping. would i end up having a short stay in a few jobs?

Data entry jobs are boring but will normally pay that sort of wage or higher. Or any other office or secretarial work. But often agencies are unwilling to give you jobs like that unless you already have experience.
i was thinking or supermarkets but i think it may be too much for my back, stocking shelves or sitting at a till (it hurts to sit too)
But sign up with a few job agencies and you put down a minimum wage so they won't offer you anything less. They offer lots of different types of job and I'm sure they'll find you something.
i had 2 months there stamping milk tokens and writing giros, but it was like £800 a month, so good money for sitting stamping all day!
they often employ students over the summer for admin purposes; filing etc.
The most I was paid was £6.75 an hour for a pension company, but usually it was about 6 or 6.50. I said my minimum was £6/hr.
I hadn't had any office experience previously but I did well in the computer tests and had high A-level results so it wasn't really an issue. Other temping jobs were with Royal Mail, catering companies, bar work at various places, working in hospitals etc.
indeed i am interested in joining the temping club as having finished my degree recently (Whoohoo!) i jus wanna get money quick by doing loads of random jobs before i join the rat race of getting a "proper" job.
whats temping about? apart from the fact that you get paid better :thumb:
look in your yellow pages/local phone book under employment agency.
I walked into Pertemps this morning and walked out with a 6 week temp job! Can't believe I didn't have to wait for something to come up!
