    But students in a related field for their degree might prefer to do something semi-technical rather than tend a bar. I know when I was a student I'd rather have done coding for £5/hr I could put on my CV than work in a loud, smoky bar for the same amount. Not that this role would quite be a student gig from the sound of it...

    I wonder - how much fun you could have as a client.

    Get in the new wet behind the ears really eager to please (not like that!) recruitment consultant whose been bugging you for the last week and give them the most ridiculous job description and a stupidly low rate.

    And then giggle as they run around like muppets trying to find someone.

    Oh erm looks like somebody just did!
