If you're after some sweet work perks, these are the jobs for you...
Things are expensive. And unless you luck out big time with your student loan, there’s a good chance you’re going to need a part time job while you’re studying, to help pay your rent and fund your near crippling kebab addiction.
The problem is though, having the wrong part time job can make a stressful time even worse. So what do you do? You go to the place that gives you the most perks. Because you’re probably gonna hate your job, so you might as well get some nice little extras from it.
