Learn to drive
It's a good skill to have, even if you can't afford a car.

How old are you? There are Wheels to Work schemes in a lot of areas where you can get a loan of a car or scooter for 6 months, to help people access work who otherwise might not be able to meet the transport requirements of the post. (Actually, this is an important point - generally, an employer can't insist that you have your own transport, you just have to 'meet the transport requirements' i.e, be able to get to work). Some wheels to work schemes offer incentives, such as giving you 75% of your rental fees back after 6 months, to encourage people to save for their own transport.

As far as jacking the job in - think carefully about this, as you may automatically rule yourself out for Jobseekers Allowance if you do this. Unless you jack it in and then go straight to Uni.

Sound advice, cheers
I'm 23, just had a look and can't find Wheels to Work scheme in my area. I could meet the transport requirements but that would most likely involve a taxi which would probably be 25 quid per day.

I forgot about the JSA factor, but if I am going to Uni then I would be looking for anything at all (even retail/bar work) just to tide me over/continue whilst at Uni.
