Joe. Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 Your starter for ten: Just how many hours a week would one theoretically have to work to match the 30 quid the government is/was supplying? Well I work 24 hours a month and get the same as what somebody would get from EMA who earns £30 a week.
Tabou Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 Im At College , Everyday 9 till 5 ., And Its Not That Easy To Find A Job Isit ? Dear Lord, Have we not read this thread? Job job job job job get a job job job .
DonFox Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 Monday to friday 6-10sunday's all day ..........
lookwhaticando Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 Well I work 24 hours a month and get the same as what somebody would get from EMA who earns £30 a week. So in essence you work approximately six hours each week and you can match the EMA payment. Who was it that was saying they just can't find the time to work with college going on? Six hours. Per week.
dandannieldanok Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 Monday to friday 6-10sunday's all day .......... Yes it is easy. Heard of working in a pub establishment? Potwashing? Waitor? Barman? I did the evening shift at the local supermarket, and saturday mornings. It wasn't that hard. Dear Lord, Have we not read this thread? Job job job job job get a job job job . It is all very well saying get a job outside of college but I know some many people who have struggled to pass their exams because they've had part-time jobs outside of college. If you choose to go college you have made a commitment to study and not to work.
The People's Hero Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 As if you need to do any work at college. You barely need to do any at work!
dandannieldanok Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 As if you need to do any work at college. You do at AS and A-Level if you want to pass, admittedly you can cruise it up until then.

dandannieldanok Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 ABB at A-level and worked a 25 Hour week! But we're not all that clever.
Tabou Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 But we're not all that clever. I understand that, but I think it comes down to time management. If students spent their Study Periods (NOT free periods!!) actually doing coursework, plus an hour a night studying, there is plenty of time to work. 9-5pm saturday and sunday is 16 hours, at £5 an hour...£80 a week. Sorted.
Nod.E Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 It is all very well saying get a job outside of college but I know some many people who have struggled to pass their exams because they've had part-time jobs outside of college. If you choose to go college you have made a commitment to study and not to work. You can if you're brilliant - like me. Early doors but 12/15 hours weekly plus physics, literature stats and IT is going well enough at the moment.
DB11 Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 Your starter for ten: Just how many hours a week would one theoretically have to work to match the 30 quid the government is/was supplying? I've kinda followed this thread (not loads) but people saying that they can't get a job is load of crap. I'm 15 and I've got a Saturday job that pays £40 a day and then I referee twice on a Sunday that gets me £23 a game so that is £46 a week just working at the weekend. People seriously don't have time to do that? That's just a crappy excuse saying you need the EMA cos you don't have enough time to find work.
Brainy Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 Yes it is easy. Heard of working in a pub establishment? Potwashing? Waitor? Barman? No it ****ing isn't. It might be easy where you're from, but where I am I looked around Town, applied for several places, and either heard nothing back or was unsuccessful. There were no vacancies available for what I was interested in. When I have no experience i'm not going to stand much chance am I.

I'm looking for full time. I won't be earning enough working one day a week. I'm presuming you're not looking for a job in retail but you might just realise how hard it is for somebody like me to get job in that industry if you were.
Samilktray Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 Getting a job is pretty hard. Getting a job/apprenticeship in the construction trade is beyond a joke at the minute.

Full time and college, now i think that is a little bit stupid........
Asha Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 Got to agree with Walkers here. Getting a job in retail is really hard atm, I've found it really difficult and have still not found anything.
dandannieldanok Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 Getting a job/apprenticeship in the construction trade is beyond a joke at the minute. I know a lad that goes to Brooksby College working towards something in Car Mechanics (not construction trade but there are probably courses for it) 2.5 days a week, I'm not sure how good an avenue that is into the world of work but just an idea.................................

Im on a course. Just getting a bit of part time work to aid the course is impossible.
Brainy Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 Full time and college, now i think that is a little bit stupid........ Not quite sure what you're trying to say here. I don't go to college, but I receive EMA for something else (not sixth form), although i'm choosing not to say as i'll probably get moaned at like others in this thread
DB11 Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 Some of us don't want Saturday job's. I'm looking for full time. But why would you want a full time job when you are still at school??
Guest Posted 1 October 2008 Posted 1 October 2008 Monday to friday 6-10sunday's all day .......... Yeah, good answer that. Nice to see you've done the stereotype a huge favour there.........It is all very well saying get a job outside of college but I know some many people who have struggled to pass their exams because they've had part-time jobs outside of college. If you choose to go college you have made a commitment to study and not to work. When you've finished your A levels, how easy do you think it will be to go onto Uni and possibly live in a new town, and manage to keep yourself? Do you think you will survive on just the loan? Studying and working whilst in 6th form is great for learning time management. Something you will benefit from later in life. If you get used to juggling work and study now, with your parents there to help you (not just in the financial sense), you'll find it easier later on in your education, when the stakes are even higher.
Brainy Posted 1 October 2008 Posted 1 October 2008 But why would you want a full time job when you are still at school?? I left school in May.
SamL Posted 1 October 2008 Posted 1 October 2008 Got to agree with Walkers here.Getting a job in retail is really hard atm, I've found it really difficult and have still not found anything. Snap. Applied for five jobs and I've only had one interview. The rest have failed to get back to me.
Unit Posted 1 October 2008 Posted 1 October 2008 You know what I hate? fooking RICH KIDS WHO STILL GET EMA. aGHAGHAHGAHGHAGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA :banghead:
