Miscellaneous kind. This is the only phase in your life you could try out all kind of jobs without people judging too much.

I worked as a kitchen helper, a clerk at an audit firm, a school contract teacher (JPN had that programme earlier, I think it had been scrapped), stock helper etc. I had friends who worked as a cashier, Starbucks barista, tuition teacher, sundry shop worker, pharmacist helper etc.

This is the best opportunity for you to try working at a place you are interested in but are not committed to working long time, to get a glimpse of life behind the scenes. You'll learn that it's often less glamorous than you have probably been imagining, and it'll be very, very helpful for you to chart your future when you are studying in uni.

This is my experience. Like I said, I never regretted all the odd jobs I took, even though it meant I was about one year older from all my peers in uni. Never once had I regretted my decision.

Naturally, the little pay I earned from the part-time job was also very satisfying, and seemed a lot when you had little financial commitments.

Go to UCAS and searh for clearing. If not, you can contact those university directly. Usually, pure science subjects are easier. EU students are required to pay international students rate. So, more UCAS clearing nowsaday.
