No definitely,I'm not thinking about full time ,I'm talking about part time
job,so I can eat ,pay bills ,etc...
Also I liked the idea about some companies may sponsor me to do a PhD.

In the UK in any case, there isn't much of a chance of you getting a part time programming job. Period. They just don't exist.

Unless you go freelance and are a php monkey.

We have two girls here in the team who are on part-time, but both are experienced past full-timers who reduced their workload because of family. Applying for a part-time job will be tricky.

I suggest you go for initiative applications, i.e. not looking for advertised job openings, but going to the companies yourself, explaining your goals.

Keep in mind that you are making things difficult for your designated employer: A foreign-country certification the HR person might or might not have heard about, non-native speaker, little to no experience, part-time only... you will have to be pretty convincing.

So my chances of having a part-time programming job not high,so while studying in Germany what do you advice me to do?
also if you can give me any link or a website talking about studying
and working in Germany i'll be so gratefull.



Thanx.

Work in a corner shop, supermarket or convenience store.

That's what I did, and also what I'll be doing next year when I go back to university!

/agree JamesM. I did drive a truck part-time while at university. Getting a part-time job that actually goes in the same direction as your studies is a big "jackpot" thing.

One thing you could try is getting in contact with the university. Most of them have a "job office" of some kind and might actually help you finding a job that at least doesn't collide with your studies.

Hi,

When I was at uni in Manchester, I was lucky enough to get a job working for the Hall of Residence Network Adminteam. It payed peanuts, but wasn't very taxing and something like that could look good on a CV.

Cheers,
Adam

Good lord, how did you cope? I live in Fallowfield at the moment (for the next 6 months) and the crushing number of students on the busses have forced me to change working hours (I get in just before 8, leave at 4)!!

I hate manchester!

I lived on North Campus just by the BBC building (Weston Hall), had all my lectures in North Campus and only had to walk 10 minutes to either Piccadilly or the city centre. I could be in a lecture 2 minutes after leaving the hall (yes - I had to sometimes!). For a while I was adminteam team leader - for North Campus

All this means I hardly ever used a bus and when I did, I was one of the annoying students, so I actually found Manchester quite an enjoyable experience. Mind you - I wouldn't have wanted much more than my 3 years there.

All-in-all, moving to Devon was a Good Idea (TM)!

Cheers,
Adam

Quite. Some graduate programs won't even allow you to (the university I'm attending won't for Ph.D students).

To the OP, if you can find a job doing what you like with your current qualifications, then go for it. Going to college would be a bit of a waste for you, considering the time and money involved.

On the other hand, going to college and getting a degree does mean a good bit to some employers. Not as much as it used to, but it does help. If nothing else, much of the time getting a degree means higher pay, and even after a few years that could make up for the difference of paying out to attend college.

A graduate degree would be ideal (I've heard that the masters degree is the equivalent to what bachelors degrees used to mean), but this requires even more time and money, and the programs can often be quite competitive.
