I work at my college doing basic maintenance and whatnot, pay is around 7 bucks/hr, not too many hours, but it pays the bills for now.
Well I was going to the community college for the past 3 semesters. I have been working at a fire alarm factory in the shipping dept picking and packing orders. easy job, boring, but easy, and not stressful.
downside is, meeting college age girls in a factory is as common as a deadlift in a fitness center.

When I was in junior college in the 70’s I worked for the maintenance department on Pensacola Beach. Now before you think it was all sunshine and tourists, what we did was pick up the trash on the beach and clean the public restrooms. Man, have I got stories to tell! Then once a week you had to pull garbage - essentially walk from house to house and change out the garbage bags; this sucked. And a couple of times a week you worked on the garbage truck (the Leach) that emptied the dumpsters on the beach. (Came real close to killing a woman in a dumpster picking out the aluminum cans once). Then you get to hose the maggots out of the truck at the end of the day. Paid $2.25/hr.

oh dear god.
Wow…no one mentions being a food server yet? That is the job i have had for the last year and a half. Good times, good money… really ahrd work though. Serving tables is a lot harder than it appears to be.
I probably walk anywhere between 3 - 5 miles per shift. Carry around 20 pound trays all day. High stress too. But it pays the bills.
yeah I wait tables too, whenever I am in school I end up waiting tabels or working in a restaraunt. the money is great though work like 5 nights and take home ~600$ but thats for the summer should get bussier for the winter but can’t work as many hours. I have been with the same company for awhile though been working witht the owner when he owned another place so I came to the new place hooked up. want to get into bartending/barback but it’s really hard around here, how’d you guys get in at a college town maybe yours was bigger( town I mean).

Steal Construction, concrete work, and managing a tire shop got me through undergrad and saved some loot for Grad school. Currently etching a living on the savings, stipends, Student loans and what ever I can sell etc…
I’m a waiter myself. Money’s good, but it just about kils my diet routines. I’ve had to start bringing in two of my own meals to eat during the shift so I won’t snack on the Italian bread and pasta all night. But as long as do that, a shift is almost like a cardio workout . . . I’m going up and down stairs all night
Intern /w the government, pay is decent at 12.34/hr.
The real good deal is conversion when I graduate, I choose the hours I work, and they are as flexible as you can be. Plus the job consists of me pretty much browsing the net.

What exactly are you selling?
I’ve managed to sell a garbage disposal that was left in our dorm by a maintenance guy. After 2 months of it never being claimed it was a fun $100 bucks.
I just can’t find any regular old stuff to sell. Advice?
Gas station island attendant (took $$$ from truckers that didn’t want to walk inside to the store), landscaping/construction, then finally got a nice cushy work-study on-campus for about $6/hr for the Statistics Department. No worries about:
-exploding gasoline from some bonehead leaving his pump in the car
-having trees dropped on your head by someone who should have told you it was falling in your direction while you were working on something else
-the handle of one of those big shoulder-braced Milwaukee drills catching a knot in the wood and smacking you in the head at high-speed (long story)
I’m not allowed a job at college… (university - I still get confused by US distinctions)
Buoycall,
I have the same problem the italian bread and the food is too good. I found that I can go without touching the stuff if I bring like 2 banana’s and a shake. just try to space them out and then have a ceasar salad at the end of shift or dip out and go home to some chicken and veggies.

Ha… I work at a burger joint (Rubys) and luckily they have some good options. My end of meal dinner is usually 2 turkey patties, 2 slices cheese, and 2 eggs… no bad huh? They also have chicken tacos on wheat tortillas…
Yeah, talk about cardio work…no wonder i am not getting teh hyyoogor
whatever i can find/steal :-p
My last two internships have been at a local software company. Full time @ $20 an hour. That’s a lot of Grow! money!!
Everybody on this thread has a pretty well paying job. I’m a Resident Advisor at the dorms. I’m scheduled to work 13 hours a week plus some overnights, but technically I am working every time I’m in the building. The pay sucks, but I’t like working from home and the office is like ten feet from my room.
Almost forgot, most of the guys that I work with tend to run from any type of physical activity. So most of the residents take advantage of them by trying to intimidate them. I love being a strength athlete becuse most of them would never try to intimidate me because of my size.
I’m getting ready to enter my Junior year of college. I’m a bank teller making a lousy $8/hour. You would think the job would be worth more considering how much money passes through my hands everyday. But the hours are great and fit well with my schedule.
Rob the place man. Come on. You know you want to.
