Short term loan for summer?

Sheesh, I mean if you don’t wanna work for it, then how tf you going to get 3k 😂 the only option you have is to get money online. Possibility through eCommerce, or online database. There’s the option of investing in shares, but in your timeframe, it would not be feasible. Other than that, theres legit nothing else.

I think this is a bit of a harsh comment. OP is going to work for it - they have a place on a graduate scheme, so they'll work to pay off the loan. They will earn far more than 3k soon, but they just want to have a nice summer first, which seems understandable. I'm skeptical of your ideas for how to earn money too - eCommerce and shares are not where I'd start for casual earning tips, since they both require a lot of skill.

@OP: I'd look into opening a new graduate bank account, as advised by Martin Lewis: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/students/graduate-bank-accounts/. These should give you a large 0% overdraft for your first year, many of them up to 3k. Aside from that I'd consider borrowing from family if you can; I'd be wary of getting a personal loan so young and for something relatively frivolous, even though you're confident you'll be able to pay it off. Otherwise, it's really not too hard to pick up a few shifts bartending etc over the summers, and that can often be part of the fun of a big summer experience rather than detracting from it. Maybe consider signing up to some temping agencies and just doing the odd shift here and there?
