I'm a Yr11 school student, and so that I can get the most out of my education I have decided not to get a job until I'm done at school. So I voted "what is work?" because I probably wouldn't know a day of (non-school related) work if ever I saw one.

Mon to Fri 10hrs a day except Monday when i only work 8hrs and 6hrs Sat. Through the week first 8hrs are normal time and the next 2hrs are time and a half. On Sat first 2hrs are time and half the other 4hrs are double time. So I do 54hrs a week.

My hours really vary (I'm casual) but I just had a 40 hour week, my busiest in a while. I'm hoping for the same next week.

I spend over 30 hours a week pc gaming. A lot of that time is spent playing older games.
Older games are awesome. |

Why a chick?!? I work online, import and export, self shopper for car parts, word by mouth. You need something, I can get it, usually 40% or more cheaper than direct from the shop. I get a 20%+ commission. The hours I work are sending the goods out, checking emails and importing more stock in bulk. I can find pretty much anything from key rings to signed Rambo knives if they want it. I have importer codes and friends in the States. Found the TS50 manual within 2 days too. It's the best ever, being my own boss, learning from my mistakes etc. There are open markets for everyone, I'd highly suggest anyone looking into it. The Internet is a huge market place, Trade-Me gets 1,500,000 customers a month. Not bad for a country of 4 million. Del-boy from only fools and horses to some. lol "What we going to do with 23 boxes of drag racing DVDs Rodney you complete and utter plonker" :
