Tomato Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Yesterday I got a new job. I bag groceries at my military grocery store. I'm paid solely on tips. Yesterday I made $55 on a 4 hour shift. I get all my money in cash, and don't have to pay taxes. The job before that I worked at Hecht's selling purses. That paid $6.50 an hour with horrible wages. So high schoolers, what kind of jobs do you guys have? Do you like them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezcake Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 In HS, I never had a job that paid. I volunteered at an elementary school's afterschool program for 2 1/2 years. They didnt pay me, but it was a great experience :D ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatsilverwyrm Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I've as yet never had a job.. but I've been looking for one for about a month now. Hopeful that I'll get a job at the local Best Buy (electronics store), either being a salesperson on the floor, or working in the tech department.

College is annoying, but since i put all 4 of my classes into 2 days, it's easier. And i do all my homework at the last minute, which lets me enjoy my weekend lol. But yeah, I've written 10 900+ words essays already. Pretty fun, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman089 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I work at a local subway/sluschie restuarant called Eegee's. I work about 32 hours a week at $6.50 an hour (which is actually quite good, minimum wage is 5.25, and I'm only 17).

jackalope14 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I am a referee for youth basketball :D . I love my job, (I get paid $9/hr) but even at the young ages parents can get a little over exited about the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathaninch Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I've as yet never had a job.. but I've been looking for one for about a month now. Hopeful that I'll get a job at the local Best Buy (electronics store), either being a salesperson on the floor, or working in the tech department. Best Buy would be a relaly cool job. They apparently get really good discounts as well. I worked as a dishwasher for a year and learned the basics of a job. Maintenance, cleaning, teamwork, work drama....all the fun stuff. I then got a job at McDonalds and have been working there for 2 and a half years now. Ive learned alot about service, management, equipment maintenance, and a lot of basic management practices. I find it to be a rewarding and fun job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poopingman Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 Freelance car audio installer. Heres a tip, work for yourself, its SO much more rewarding.

How2PK Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I used to work at the deli of one of the biggest supermarkets in Holland. It was a great job, I learned a lot, had great collegues, I was good at my job and I got a pretty decent payment. When I got 19 I was fired because I was too expensive. >.> Yesterday I had my first working day at the Free Record Shop (A music/dvd store), I don't really like the work, but I need to earn cash of course.

Purecheese Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I've had several jobs through my highschool years. I've delivered a weekly newspaper and worked on the fields in the summer (roses and leek). Once I was 16 I applied for a job at a supermarket, I've been working there for about 4.5 years now. Great collegues and generally a job that I enjoy. Sadly I'm becoming to expensive, however there's nobody who's cheaper that can replace me :D So hopefully I'll be able to keep working every other saturday for the coming year. Aside from that I'm working on a litterature research (applications of Sensing Probe Microscopes in research in industrial laboratory) for a rather large company. I've nearly finished it. Once it's finished I'll receive 1300 euro for about 160 hours work :D And the best thing is that I actually receive study points for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
