Working for money
Most students work at some point during their time at university or college.
Some of them even work at their studies – but never mind that, Push is talking about cash at the mo.
For some students, a part-time job down the supermarket is the only way they can afford to do any travelling over the summer. For others, pulling pints in the union is the only way they can buy themselves a drink later. For all too many, earning cash isn't a nice little extra to can spend on treats, it’s the only way they can keep their finances from going into free-fall.
Approximately 40% of students do some kind of part-time work to supplement their income during term-time - and the number is growing. Then there are the jobs over summer vacations. All in all, 90% of students are thought to take paid work at some point.
