Exams are done and it's time to breathe a sigh of relief, now all the hard work is over.

Except that if you want any cash for the summer it probably isn't - and a temporary job is in order.

So using an unscientific straw poll of the Newsbeat office, and a look at the some of the student recruitment boards, we've found some of the most common jobs on offer.

Here's a breakdown of what they pay, on average, and some of the pros and cons.

Waiting staff - £6.01 per hour

This is the lowest paid job of the ones that we looked at, in fact the average wage is almost 50p below the minimum wage for people over 21, which stands at £6.50 per hour. So if you're old enought, you will be guaranteed that wage, despite the lower average.

And you're almost certain to get some tips to boost your pay.

The government says you have to pay income tax on cash tips, but not national insurance.

Bar staff - £6.01 per hour

This is another one where the average wage is lower than the minimum wage for people over 21.

If you're under 18, there are laws against you selling alcohol, except in certain circumstances.

Some of the bigger chains may offer discounts on food, or staff bonuses and there's always the potential for tips when you're serving.

Shop work - £6.69 per hour

So the wages are finally above the minimum for all ages - and you're likely to get a uniform thrown in as well.

This can be a blessing or a curse, depending on where you work.

Staff discounts can be generous - which is great if you like the stuff you're selling - although that does mean half your earnings can end up straight back in the till.

Care work - £7.60 per hour

Some care companies, especially in the south of England, are struggling to find workers for numerous vacancies, a recent survey suggests.

While there may be many opportunities available, some experts have described a "crisis" in the industry.

However, care work, which can involve looking after elderly or vulnerable adults, or children, is described by many of its workers as extremely rewarding.

Call centre - £8.03 per hour

The Call Centre documentary on BBC Three probably did wonders when it came to raising the profile of telesales.

Nev Wilshire's "unique" philosophy and relaxed attitude helped make the Welsh office one of the top five places to work in 2014, according to The Sunday Times.

We can't guarantee that every call centre will be as fun - but it might be.

Factory packer - £8.22 per hour

If you're fast and have a decent level of physical fitness then getting paid by the piece can boost your wages.

There may also be night work, which - so long as you're old enough - can also get you extra cash.

The higher rate of wages is an average, so if you don't have experience, you may not be on quite as much as £8.22.

Labouring - £10.05 per hour

Like picking and packing, the average wage of a labourer includes people who have a lot of experience, so your first job is unlikely to pay £10.05 an hour.

It requires a good level of physical fitness, but if you're on site every day you can get a pretty decent workout without hitting the gym.

Plus, if this summer isn't a total washout, you could be out in the sunshine every day.

Where the figures came from

These figures, taken from the Office of National Statistics, are an average UK hourly wage, assuming that you work full-time, or about 40 hours a week and don't have any managerial responsibilities.

Keep in mind that the national minimum wage for people over 21 is £6.50 per hour and £5.13 for those aged between 18 and 21, regardless of the job you do.

If you are over school leaving age but under 18, you are entitled to a minimum of £3.79.
