Taught music, worked for a private investigation company, cleaned, worked on farms, cooked and still cooking, and more music! bits and pieces from time to time for mates....
Let people know you are available to help them out - the call will come.
Most of my work has been for very 'ordinary' money. The music and PI stuff have been the most beneficial in terms of development. With the music I have travelled round the world (quite literally) without once paying for the ticket!
Consider some more unusual jobs, or create something yourself; its not that hard to register as a business (not as Ltd, just register for tax) - if you are good at something, chances are someone will want you to help them out.
I have a mate who is looking to go down for Terminal5 at Heathrow. Story is its £700 p/w labouring. Pity I am studying right now, because thats where I'd be right now.
Good luck to you on the degree. Pick unusual jobs which you find interesting would be my parting message!
