and about my "skill" of Japanese...
It's been fine enough for which I'm teaching some year 7's and a few year 9's from scratch.
However my actual skill of the language I wouldn't say is in "Elementary" stage yet ...

JET-uk ;)
If you live near an airport, within a couple of km or have a transportation route to it, you can work at an FBO there, there is a company called Signature that is based in England, well BBA is, but if you are able to find transportation there, they will pay for your school (if it is a gain to them.)
I work for them full time at Jacksonville, fl and they are paying for my school and I am going to school full time. Just a thought. You can also try tech support if you are computer savy enough, some cases you may be able to work from home. My friend did.
Could you give me some more information about what your friend did
lol, because your family isn't "Lower Class".

Focus on things you can do, postpone things like Japan for now till you are able to go there. Online jobs: this can't be your starter job. Our societies are not yet ready for this, and those that do it, already have another means to survive and do it mostly like a hobby. Get a part time job if you can to learn the tricks, and pay the bills.
As you build experience you will be able to move to more lucrative positions with less work and maybe telecommuting, but not before finishing with your education. Focus on education atm, think it as a multiplier of future salaries to come: the less the education you get the lower the multiplier of future salaries.
I work from home, prostitution is great!
Brilliant.Quote:

A piece of advice for you nobby: don't think a year in industry as part of a degree will get you a decent amount of money. It won't.
Still worth doing though.
Stick an S on the front of Nobby and you've got it made......
If youre not lower class like the rest of us peons cant you sponge off your folks? Thats what most of the kids who go to uni do now. They did when I went anyway. :p
Unfortunately I guess at the moment youre learning that life is indeed about sacrifices. Short of inheriting billions from a rich old relative most people have to make these choices every day. Welcome to life son.
I would go with the part time evening job if you do desperately need money, data entry jobs pay decent because it is menial soul-destroyingly boring work. But that said, if you want a job and some cold hard currency then you will get it. Theres plenty of casual work around christmas time too but fitting jobs around your other committments might be tricky. Are you old enough for bar work yet? (you could lie about your age and go work in a pub at 17 - it worked for me).
That all said - being a teenager is a nightmare, especially in the later years as you have all this new independance and you want to go abroad and see the world but not having 2 pennies to rub together is nightmare. Hopefully you wont wax the credit card as most seem to do and I do wish you the best of luck in your endeavours.
Tbh, I dont think anyone else said it yet but regards to the volunteer lessons and such you might actually find that if you hilight the fact that you ARE in fact giving up 1 hour of lunch breaks a week (an hour a week is not much to find for anyone to be fair) then this does reflect favourably on you in their eyes. Universities are similar to employers in that respect. Anyone who goes further than the average candidate, who does that little bit extra does in fact stand out from the crowd a little at selection time. You might find in the long run that that little fact swings things in your favour.
However, I agree with Richard Slade - under uk law if you have only one prostitute in a house its not a brothel so if you have any sisters you could make a lucrative income from them. :lol:
Precisely. Moaning because your EMA won't cover buying a 5k laptop and a jaunt to Japan is just, well, ridiculous.Quote:

It's just Depressing seeing Chav Twatbags getting money for going to school again, EMA seem to forget that the more someone earns, the more tax they have to pay, so I can't just scrounge off my parents.
I Would like an evening job, but where I live, I just Can't !
There's a pub next door, they don't want kitchen staff and they already know how old I am. They serve me drinks, but won't let me be a barman. It's 15 miles to the nearest town where I'd happily look for work at if I could. Dad works 13 hour a day so he can't drive me. Mum's always "too busy" to take me anywhere which house work, dinner all the crap.. etc........
Which is why I turned to the "work at home"
Guess I'll forget Japan next year :(
No Holiday next year... *cries*
