A Successful Money Making Summer

Well another summer comes to an end and its time to return to University for another year of boring lectures, parties and hangovers.

At least I have a healthy bank balance after working hard all summer. I’ve been dead jealous of my mates who’d headed off to Europe and various other places. But at least I’ve got a bank account that’s in the black, unlike the way it started the summer.

I started the summer with a cleaning job working in various Heathrow hotels. The work was really hard with tight schedules to stick to and very early starts every day. I take my hat off to the hard working people who do that work all year round.

But what I really wanted was a driving job as I’d passed my driving test during the previous academic year. So when a friend told me of an opportunity at Stansted airport I jumped at it. I became a valet, parking and retrieving cars for people in the maze of Stansted airport parking lots. This was a great job, giving me the opportunity to drive all sorts of fantastic cars. From top of the range Mercedes to the latest Fiat 500, and I got some excellent tips.

It was while working there that I met a guy who was so impressed with my driving that he asked if I’d like to work for his car leasing firm. The money on offer was much more than I was earning as a valet and there was an excellent bonus scheme. So after only two weeks working as a valet I was off to yet another job. This time delivering cheap lease cars to customers throughout the south east.

I really loved this job and my ex-boss has told me that there will be a job there for me during the Christmas and Easter holidays. In fact I enjoyed working for his firm so much I may consider working for him when I finish my degree next year. This was definitely one of the best summers I’ve had.
