123_x_pac Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I hear there is good money in computer repairing and stuff like that. Or you could try something you like that is related to that.

Laura Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Yeah, go work at repairing computers and stuff. A local computer store charged me $300 to fix my computer. $100 for labor, $175 for an antivirus scan $15 for some other BS. Yeah, he never ran any antivirus scan, he just booted up and reverted my computer to the day I bought it. Yeah... Pretty good money I guess though.

Lenticular_J Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Yeah, helping out at a specialty repair shop or even a chain like Circuit City sound like your best bet. If not, you could always start up a lawnmowing service. My brother made an easy 2,000 dollars working two days a week for two months his summer. Rich people with large lawns (look especially for flat ones) pay anywhere from 50-100 dollars for a couple hours of work down here. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Range_This11 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Deliver pizzas. There's no tax on the tips you make and believe me, if you work weekends, you make over $75 in tips in one night, along with your wage. I did it for a year and I had a blast doing it.

Bufoman Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Did you check if your school had an opening as an assistant to the local tech? Might conflict with your schedule, buy maybe their is something you could do after school or a few hours before to earn a little extra cash. Depends on the school I suppose, mine already had two techs so their was no openings as I understood it.

llamster Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Where are some places I should apply to get a job. I need to make about 3 grand over the next few months then I need to get money for college. Considering that you're just out of high school, that's pretty much impossible. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not impossible, I work 30-40 hours a week at a grocery store for 9$ an hour, so my biweekly pay is $500+ after taxes and crap, 3 months at $500 biweekly would earn me $3000. Only working for the summer though, going to university in September. Combat FTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenticular_J Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 But seriously, if you work there you will never ever complain about a job again I hope that's a joke.

I think he meant working in a piss-poor environment such as Burger King will make you appreciate any other job you would ever have.

I've made about $3,500 this summer alone working full time @ $10/h. I probably could have made close to $4,000 too but I had a lot of shorter days or off days.
