I think I am ready for a new job. I've been a cashier at a grocery store for almost 2 years. I make 8.14 an hour. I work about... get ready... 12 hours a week. It is hilarious.

I need a good part-time job that can get me through college.

I need 25-30 hours a week.

What should I do?

Those of you who are in college, what are you doing about this?

Those of you who have grad, what are you doing?

Insight please.

Thanks guys

i take 18 credit hours, so i just dont worry about a job.... thats what summer is for. depending how many hours and how hard your classes are, 20-30 hours may be way too many. 12-15 doesnt sound bad

Im only taking 12 this semester being my first and I don't want to have a crazy sched.

I also owe a lot of money and have bills to pay.

I need 25-30 hours.

i am not taking too many credits so i have a full time job. but if you want to take a lot of credits than 10-20 hrs is plenty and try to get student loans and government grants for college. scholarships are allways nice too.

start an escort service.

i like your style john

LOL Is that how you paid for your swap?

just got a new job as a delivery guy for jason's deli. I'll be workin there and as a cashier so ill probably get 30 hours a week total. Should be nice and I can save up for my swap real fast.

well i work as a telemarketer... and make like 20 bucks an hour on average...it sounds gay but you make ridiculous money.

a bunch of my friends deliver pizza. They get $7.50 an hour (minimum wage in california), plus about $3-5 in tips every delivery, and the shop gives them $1 for every delivery they make. They say, each delivery is only like 5 or 6 miles round trip, and, since they have imports, the $1 more than covers gas. They make like 1 or 2 deliveries an hour. so they are making like $11.50-13.50 an hour, sometimes more if they get good tips. the hours are only like 5pm til like 9:30 pm 3-5 days a week too.

me personally, I just quit my job as a grocery store bagger making $8.39/hour (topped out, that was the most I could make until I turned 18 and could get a promotion to a different department, and even then I would get .01 an hour more for another 4-5 months) so I got a job at america's tire co./discount tire making $9/hour to start. I'm taking 11 units and plan on working like 32 hours a week. one semester I took 12.5 units and worked 32-36 hours a week, and all the classes were hard with like 2-3 hours of homework a week for 3 of my 4 classes; that was a bad idea! I was so stressed all the time, it was no fun, I don't recommend it.

heh waiting tables is a pretty good job for easy money... usually really easy to get extra hours too if u have a boring week or something

I work full time AND go to school... what now?!!

Telemarketing businesses are always looking to hire new blood.. I mean employees, I would look into that... I mean, you will probably hate your work and want to die, but money is money.

Now how do you land a job like that for 20. Hook me up bro.

internships are the way to go, helpdesking for 15/hr. Its hard to get when your young in college but trust me its worth all the effort to finding best internship for the best amount of money Junior/senior in college

I work as undercover security at Sears and pretty much make my own hours man. You might want to look into that.

what do you do?

Congrats on the new job. 12 hours a week was ridiculous! I work at a supermarket called Publix in Miami. I roughly make 7.25/hr. 30 hours a week. I can barely pay my bills. Insurance is kind of high. I'm going to community college so it's not gonna be expensive. I hate the job, to much labor.

>

Exactly, too much work for the pay. I do and know enough at my job to make a couple bucks more but i don't cause they are all about saving money.

>

I pretty much sit in a camera room and watch people that come into the store. If they look sketchy, have stolen before, or I just don't trust them I follow them with the cameras. If I see them take something I then go after them. Its a fun job but sometimes we can get some people that are on drugs or that do not want to be caught at any cost. But Sears is a good company man they give good benefits, let you make your own hours, and you wear what you want (except shorts), because you have to fit in with the crowd you work with.

i just graduated high school, i work at advance auto parts making $10 an hour and i get 40 hours a week, plus discount on parts

>

Yeah, I know dealing with customers in a grocery store can be a pain in the ass man. Least you got out of it. I've been thinking off applying at a(n) Advance Autoparts.

New job worked out pretty well. Made 52 bucks in tips today, worked 9 hours, put 100 miles on my car (poor celica)

but i gotta tell you guys somethin that happened

I was droppin off food for this family a ways off, i was dead tired from the long day at work

The family had two little girs who weere really friendly.

Anyways, as I was walkng back to my car, I heard one of the little girls say to her dad, "that boy has a nice car"

haha that made my day.

Im tired, my legs hurt from shifting.

Good night

So in this job you have to use your own car for the deliveries?

>

yeah, thats one thing i am skeptical about, but i need money

btw, what is bad about stopping/starting my car alot?

Wearing your brakes, I would assume. Why?

Also, I would be worried about using my own car to, since I have high mileage and I don't want to add excessive miles, I also applied at Autoparts and Papajohns. So I hope AAP comes through, or I'm going to be delivering pizzas in my car.

well, in those few seconds of starting your car, it puts more wear on the engine then several hundred miles of freeway driving. make sure you do your oil changes as if under "severe" conditions as the owner's manual calls it. Which, for our cars is ever 3750 miles, but I'd do it every 3000 just to be safe. other than that, you''ll be going through brakes, tires, sprark plugs, and practically everything faster than before.

thats alls well cause i need to do sparks and brakes soon enough.

besides im gettin around 50 in tips each shift, infact this week i will have made about 250 which is more than twce what i made in a week at my old job.

anyway, im comfortable at jasons deli right now, and when i go off to college in another city, ill probably get a more...serious job

I already change my oil every 3k

oh just rememberd that when I start my car, the oil light stays on for about 5-10 seconds and then flickers off... just wondering if that was normal.

anyway, thanks for the input guys

>
yep, that's normal. the airbag light should do it too, though it might only do that after you have disconnected the battery, I can't remember.

>

thanks! ive been getting paranoid about my cars since i messed up my old one... i dont have the money to have a new car every month

sh*t..i need a job.

i workd at vons for about 3 years. im so noob. then kmart ownd me with slave labor for 7.50 an hour n only 15 hours a week. lol.

i guess pizza deliv would be alrite, considerin im near a UC
