Re: How do you make money as a student?How did you find that and where? The only medical research I find is the drug trials. An arm cast sounds safer(Original post by bambamty)
Medical research, i got paid £400 to wear an arm cast for 5 weeks, sorted.

Re: How do you make money as a student?I found a poster in the physics library, they're normally run by masters/phd students! The drug trials are pretty safe, but i'd rather just wear a cast!

Re: How do you make money as a student?Haha, sounds fun. Not sure I'd be up for it if it was CT scanning though, not a fan of the needles.(Original post by bambamty)

If anyone is in Leeds then Covance do clinical trials and some pay up to 4000. -

Re: How do you make money as a student?No.... why?(Original post by Marco1)
You gotta be shi**in me?
I don't know masses about it I just knew someone who did it. They were paid say for the two hours they were taking notes and then two hours to type them up, or hour or to take notes in the lecture and one hour to type up.
I think she said it was like 8/9 quid an hour.
Ask at your uni if you wanna do it lol -

Re: How do you make money as a student?I believe you but I was just expressing surprise that's all. If their literacy is that bad then how do they get into university? It goes without saying that university requires written work of a certain standard. Have university standards plummeted that far?(Original post by Nutty_Psychologist)

Re: How do you make money as a student?Yeah I guess so I hadn't actually thought about that lol. I think it's probably writing quickly in lectures, I know my friend with dyslexia struggles to take everything done in the lecture because of it so it might be because of that. I used to take a dictaphone into my lectures which helped me, even though I don't have a disability sometimes felt a bit much writing everything down quickly.(Original post by Marco1)
