  I think a lot of us are against that idea because your A lvls are coming.
  
  You can ask anyone who's studying and work at the same time and they'll tell you it's really really hard.

  Have to agree. Pretty much everyone I know who works and studies at the same time don't get good results. And they blame the work.
  
  To the thread-starter: you may say that you can get flexible hours, but you're still at a profound disadvantage compared to those who don't work. While you're working, they may be revising their schoolwork. What's more, you'll be tired after all that working.
  
  The only advantage you have is that you have over them is that you have more money, but I don't see how that's going to pull up your grades. While it's nice to have money, the more important objective is still your studies.
  
  If you still insist on working then may I suggest you give tuition. I'm a second-year NUS undergrad, and that's what I do to supplement the meagre allowance my parents give me.
  
  Even then, do bear in mind that most parents don't usually go for JC students; they prefer minimum A Level graduates.

  Usually Singapore students can take part time jobs in a fastfood shop i.e. KFC, BurgeKing. The pay is about $3.5 per hour. If you want to taste the life, you just go ahead to take the job. If you simply wish to escape the study, this is not good.

  Hi boy or gal! You wrote "just want to escape life". That is danger. I suggest you take a part time in a fast food restaurant. It helps you make more friends! It helps you enlarge your sight.
