abstract: 'This paper explores how the various pressures of finance, employability

  and part-time work are experienced by undergraduates studying in an

  English Red Brick University. Drawing on the results of a 3-year

  qualitative study that followed 40 students throughout their 3 years of

  studies (n(1) = 40, n(2) = 40, n(3) = 38, n(total) = 118), the paper

  details three dimensions by which students understood their part-time

  employment experiences: the characteristics of employment types;

  motivations for employment and the challenges of shaping their

  employment experiences around their studies. It is argued that the

  current shortfalls in the student budget and the pressures of the

  employability agenda may actually serve to further disadvantage the

  lower income groups in the form of a `double deficit''. Not only are

  discrepancies between income and expenditure likely to mean that

  additional monies are necessary to study for a degree, the resulting

  need for part-time employment is also likely to constrain both degree

  outcome and capacity to enhance skills necessary for `employability''.'
