# "The best summer job for students!"

by Ann-Marie Ledgister Hospitality, Student jobs, Summer money
**Why did you join Off to Work?**
*I joined the June before I was heading to university, I need work the summer before I went to uni and then every so often I would visit home. I rejoined because I had left my full-time post grad job but it wasn’t making me happy, I remembered Off to Work and the fun times I had and thought ‘why not?’*
**What is the most you’ve made in a single week?**
*In a busy week I worked just under 60 hours (whilst attempting a social life) and still managed to make £709.20 before deductions.*
**What is the most you have made from a single shift (this may include a tip!)**
£*101.20 but then got a £200 tip at the end. Ascot is a dream.*
**Have you had a goal in mind in the past where you wanted to save up for something? If so what was it?**
*This summer my goal was to have the best summer I could have before I ‘grew up’. So I decided to go to seven festivals (Junction2, Field Day, elrow, Lovebox, Arts House, Lost Village, El Dorado) and then a holiday to Vienna to visit a friend, never mind Brighton Pride on top.*
**How did it make you feel when you achieved your goal?**
*I was tired but it showed me how far I can push myself to get what I want, and when I ended starting my ‘adult’ job I knew I was ready.*
**How did you achieve your goal?**
*Worked almost too much, when socialising outside of the main goals making sure I never missed out so I never felt the need to do more, was generally just making sure I was frugal. And just keep your end goal in sight its all worth it in the end.*
**What would you say to other people who are looking to use Off to Work to save money?**
*Don’t say no to opportunity, a 4 hour shift can turn into an on-going booking and end up making you more money. Also upskill as much a possible to make your time more valuable*
**Would you recommend Off to Work to your friends?**
*Absolutely, I have a friend getting booked into the Brighton assessment already!*
