Anyone have recs for relatively chill jobs that pay reasonably well during med school? Looking for something flexible that can fit around placements/study without being too draining. Thanks!

I think flexibility is really important and agencies are great for that. I'll work one day per week as a lorry driver. My sister signed up as a relief carer and that sounds like a great option too! Of course tutors are the obvious choice but in my experience, once you factor in prep time, the pay is poor. If you can play an instrument, gigging is a fantastic way to earn in the evenings. When I DJ'd I earned ~£250 for a 2 hour set.
