Advice please
I've just found out that i get charged at 33.5% tax for any Over time i work.
Apparantly students dont get charged this.
As such i think i'm going to become a student again.
As such i need suggestions of what course to take.
Personally i dont give a **** what i do* (i'm only doing it for the "tax breaks" ... i dont need to pay council tax as a student either) as long as it's semi-interesting.
I'm kinda thinking of doing photography (lo model agency etc :up: ++++++).
A point to bear in mind is that College starts before Uni so i'd get OT tax relief for longer (which is better ... i dont care what kind of course i do so going to college isnt such a big deal for me).
So suggest away people.
*i've already got my degree so i dont need no more qualifications

Re: Advice please
Photography sounds ok. Might give you an opportunity to photograph fit girls even better with your new camera phone.
Or maybe art? At least you'd do life drawing.

Re: Advice please
BTW another plus of becoming a student again is that i get to be a "proper part of society" again.
ATM i'm just a lazy bastard who only works a part time job.
If i go back to Uni/College then i become a hard working sort of type of bloke who studies and works both at the same time etc and as such i become INSTANTLY more attractive to women.

Re: Advice please
Doesn't the tax break thing only apply to full-time students?
I do a part-time MSc and receive no tax breaks, etc.

That may not necessarily make you a full time student though, the definition's rather all over the place.
