    under the table (sotto sotto)…

    I’m an International student hoping to attend u of t. Thing is, i need money. Do you know of any under the table jobs I could get in Toronto that do not involve nudity? Thanks. You’re a doll.

    well, under the table jobs in toronto are difficult because they are illegal, so people don’t usually openly advertise them in the paper or anything. i guess it all depends on your field of expertise. construction working can pay good money under the table, if you can get the job, but you’re going to need experience. stuffing envelopes and crap-ass jobs like that are often under the table, if you can arrange something. also, sweatshops. but going to school during the day and working the graveyard shift in a sweatshop may not be your cuppa tea. but then, i doubt that it is anyone’s cuppa tea and you gotta do what you gotta do.

    now, if you are planning to get an illegal job out of desperation, and not from some sordid blotch in your personal file, check out the international student centre. they have lots of info for work, scholarships, bursaries, and all kinds of other goodies that you can use, including a great vegetarian restaurant. eat at the vegetarium. it come recommended.

    if you are in financial need, there is always money to be had at this school. plus international students are allowed to work on campus, and there are lots of campus jobs available. apparently grounds staff gets paid a pretty penny, and if you can, work at robarts, they make like $13 an hour or something obscene like that.

    cheers,

    degrees make bad toilet-paper

    i am having trouble deciding what subject Post to study. How would i get more info about course programs? ie.what is involved, why students like/hate it, what is it’s use after i graduate. I am currently in life science and am starting to think this is the most useless degree. Other degrees may be useless to but they probably are not as hard as lifesci. i’ve heard of possible jobs from pro-life sci administrators however most of these require post grad, and if you don’t have the grades, what else can u use life sci for asides from expensive toilet paper?
