Pounds sterling this job will make student! (6)

I believe the answer is:

earner

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pounds sterling this job' is the definition.
'earner' can be an answer for 'job' (I have seen 'Good job' mean 'earner' so perhaps 'job' could also mean 'earner'). I'm not certain of the remainder of the definition.

'will make student' is the wordplay.
'will' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'make' becomes 'earn' (as in making money).
'student' becomes 'er' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'earn'+'er' is 'EARNER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for earner that I've seen before include "Employed person" , "Cash job" , "A worker for money" , "Breadwinner" , "Profitable enterprise" .)
