Re: Working 60 -89 hours a week part time while studying?ha! I will eat super healthily - literally 50 fruits and vegetables a day, lots of water, three full meals and I will walk everywhere, ride a bike to law school or join a gym. I really need to pull this one off.(Original post by bramz19)

I have already passed my undergrad and graduated. I am doing a post grad law course. I will sleep from 1am - 7am.
"I hope to arrive at uni at 7am everyday, and study until 4pm each day and then start work, which is round the corner from my uni - at 4.30pm."
You are not making much sense, are you? -

Do your post grad, get a normal part time job to tie you over and then when you achieve a top level post grad mark because you have commited the time, get a proper job and reap rewards. -

Re: Working 60 -89 hours a week part time while studying?I said "I hope to arrive at uni at 7am everyday*. My course doesn't start until 9.45am. So I can turn up anytime before 9.45am. Jheeze, everybody is not a troll.(Original post by Juichiro)

Re: Working 60 -89 hours a week part time while studying?Forget the job. Spend that time studying and you'll graduate top of your class. Then you can go to any uni in the world for your post-grad and get a job paying 4x the starting salary. If you're smart enough to be a lawyer then your time will be wasted flipping burgers.

Re: Working 60 -89 hours a week part time while studying?Aha this post is epic...
However, I must say...
Hypothetical situations are always 20/20, that's if everything goes to plan. That's if you don't die after working 60 hours a week lol..
but hey, go for it. -

Re: Working 60 -89 hours a week part time while studying?Thanks. I was hoping to graduate top of the class. I keep being told that I will be rich in the future as a lawyer or a trader - I want the money now. Student poverty gives me a headache - so much intellectual work yet so little monetary benefit.(Original post by Banishingboredom)

I just need money to live on, I feel guilty overburdening my parents. I am an adult now and I want to take care of myself financially. There was one point at uni when I ate cereal, biscuits and tinned food for a week. That's why I am so keen to have a little nest egg for emergencies. -

Re: Working 60 -89 hours a week part time while studying?(Original post by LawKiddo)
I am thinking of working for 60 hours a week part-time while studying post-grad law at law school. I am then hoping to work 89 hours a week in the holidays.
If I earn £6.19 an hour and work 60 hours a week (10 hours each day) I will have approx £20,798.40 pre-tax by the end of the year.
6.19 x 10 x 7 = 1 weeks wage (£433.3) x 4 = £1733.2 a month, £1733.2 x 12 = £20,798.40 for the year
My class times are from 9.45am - 1.45pm (approx) and I get Friday's off. I hope to arrive at uni at 7am everyday, and study until 4pm each day and then start work, which is round the corner from my uni - at 4.30pm. The store is open 24 hours except Fridays and Saturdays when the closing time is 1am. I hope to work 15 hours at the weekend.
The money will be useful for me in terms of paying for a masters degree, future accommodation fees and providing an emergency fund. I am currently living at home and I will be living at home for the year while studying - my parents have not asked me for any contribution but they have suggested that I should move out of the family home in the next few years because they sense my growing independence after three years at uni.
I then hope to go on to do a masters degree at a London uni or a Scottish uni - I hope to work the same hours while studying next year, before going into full time employment in the legal sector. I have a student overdraft that needs to be paid off in the next year £2,000 - which I should make in the next month if I work 15 hours a day.
I am working at a well known fast food restaurant. Thoughts, anyone?
I hope this is a joke... because if it's not I'm shocked you got into University. -

Re: Working 60 -89 hours a week part time while studying?You really will get seriously tired and will not be able to work at a degree that will need an awful lot of it! I know someone who's planning on working about 30 hours next year and that's for undergrad and too much as well. You don't need to work that much surely, lots of adults who are not studying live off less than that yearly figure.

Re: Working 60 -89 hours a week part time while studying?I just..just...
On the off-chance that this is actually real - read this: http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employme...ff/DG_10029426
And seriously, a 37.5 hour week was more than enough for me, ignoring the studying! The thought of doing nearly twice that is just mind blowing...
