Do you have any kind of jobs for students in your countries? In Slovenia for instance we have special service called "študentski servis"-if we translate this literally, this means "student's service". This is service, where all of the employers, that want to hire a student are advertising the need for work force. We (students) contact student's service about job we are interested in, they give us phone number of an employer and we contact him. We get payed per hour-if we work 50 hours, and we get payed 3€ per hour, employee miltiplies 50 and 3, and we get payed 150€. Students in Slovenia also have special tax relief, so we don't have to pay as much tax, as we would have to, if we had full-time job. When working, we can quit job anytime we want, and employer can fire us, whenever he wants to.

How do you have that regulated in your country?

Students do often work in the UK but there is no special scheme or rules for them. They are employed on the same basis as other employees, get paid the same as anyone else and pay the same tax.

How do they get job? They contact employer directly? They apply on adverts in newspapers? Are they treated same way as other employees? Do they have leave? Do a lot of students work in UK?

I know...a lot of questions. But I would like to know as much as possible about students' jobs around the world.

There are some courses that require a work experience placement, and these will normally be arranged through the university, or sometimes by directly approaching companies they wish to work at. I assume you just mean normal employment to earn some extra money rather than as a part of their degree course requirements?

Well, then they just find a job like anyone else. Could be by approaching companies directly, or by answering an advertisement, or any other way. A lot of students work part-time during the term (evenings and weekends) and then many try to work full-time during their longer summer break.  Students have to pay tuition fees and living expenses here (most of them) and they only get small loans towards these from the government so most will have to work as well, unless they are lucky enough that their parents can support them.

At work they are treated exactly the same as any other employee, there are no special conditions or entitlements or anything. They are just normal employees.

Thank you for your reply. Now I would like to hear anything about student's jobs in other EU member states and around the world.
