I'd love to work in a pet store on the weekend, but no where seems to be hiring at the moment...
Any advice for where to go? jobs in general aswell...

Tom said:Yep... don't! You'll be on minimum wage and will clean dozens if not hundreds of tanks every week - then start again. That, and selling guppies to people who couldn't care less about fish, then blame you when they die. Working for 2 local shops in this area completely killed my enthusiasm for it all and I dropped out of the hobby for a couple of years. I found some attitudes and people very difficult to deal with.
Saying that, I'm now at Pets At Home which is good and I'm enjoying it. Their training programs are very good, as are the staff - and I have changed my opinion of them as a company (fish could still do with some improvements). Have a look on their website for vacancies.

But then autumn and winter will be the best for the business, so i would not be suprised if you could get a job even for the weekend from sept/oct.
