So this is kind of following on from a previous post of mine where I had a mini panic about having very little funded time left and lots of work still to do!

A few people suggested some different jobs that are ideal (or just convenient) to earn some much needed money while still have enough time and energy to finish up the thesis.

I'm not planning to start work until I have at least a full draft but will still have lots of editing to do.

Job recommendations that have cropped up so far are things like: teaching assistant, research assistant, translator, private tutor and the less ideal but easier to find: fast food or supermarket work.

Any other experiences or ideas for good paid work while finishing the thesis?

Cheers

GM.

I've done some A-level tutoring through my PhD, £25 an hour and you can do it in the evenings/weekends and still concentrate on your PhD the rest of the time. There are websites you can sign up to that ask for your CV degree certificates etc where parents and pupils search for nearby tutors. Depends if your subject matches up to an A-level though I guess!

Have you spoken to your University to see if they can give you some lecturing or anything? They shouldn't really cut you off once the funding runs out.
