Student losing head wants nice little job? (6)
I believe the answer is:
earner
'nice little 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 'nice little' bit.
'student losing head' is the wordplay.
'student' becomes 'learner' (someone who is learning).
'losing head' means to remove the first letter.
'learner' with its initial letter taken off is 'EARNER'.
'wants' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for earner that I've seen before include "Breadwinner" , "one working for a living" , "Means of acquiring money" , "Lucrative activity" , "Someone paid for work" .)
