Summer Job

[saveferris]

I just snagged a kick ass summer job working at summer camp for kids. I'll be a program administrator making 10 dollars an hour. Anyone else working this summer or just relaxing. Discuss

[zachff]

Working this summer, and this fall, and this winter ... real life sucks

[theNatetron]

working at a camp this summer, it's going to be awesome!

[Yellowcard2006]

Couldn't find a job. Sitting home all day.

[allthewaysaid]

Working always, have no idea why I do though, I could be living off my parents like my friends.
Bastards.

[Kozzy333]

I keep looking for a part-time job but haven't been successful in my two years of trying. I don't get it.

[Deadbolt23]

I'll work when I need to. Right now I'm relaxing.

[CTMarshall]

Trying to find a job, but it's not going well. Nobody wants to hire a college student around here.

[SincerelyMe]

I started looking too late. I can't find one.

[aimee<3]

I'm looking for a job. Not working out though. :(

[takeiteasy_]

I am working for an answering/messaging service. It's actually a harder job than it sounds but I get good pay and hours, it's really close to my house, and everyone there is pretty nice. It sucks starting new jobs, though. I also work for ChaCha when I'm bored at home.

Thats weird, Here in Florida everyplace wants college students even if they have to work around your schedule. I have a friend who goes to class 5 days a week and got a job before me and I only have class 3 days and at more convenient times. Its like they want to show off to the higher ups that everyone in the store has their life together cause they're going to school as apposed to hiring people who have all the time in the world to work and actually want hours.

[152]

Workin' for Canada Post. Pay is really good and it's not hard at all.

[HometownHero]

Applying right now to similar jobs the OP got. Just need a job

[drevans18]

I got snubbed by my first job opportunity at a music management company, would have been really cool. I'm waiting for my second one to hopefully come through at a photography company, which would also be very cool. If not, I'm gonna be bored all summer... Maybe I'll go back to school early, or maybe just sit on my ass watching old Seinfeld.

[yayitsjoe]

i would love to be a camp counselor.

right now i'm working in my dad's office, pays eleven bucks an hour, but the problem is it's when they need me. which is usually once every two weeks for like four hours.

[bladerdude360]

Working at a circus camp. Last Summer I also worked at Hollister on the weekends, but I don't think I'm going to so that I have some free time to do fun stuff and hang out with my girlfriend.

[muzicislife31]

Working at my usual job of calling and asking alums for money at my school. Also being a clinical psych research volunteer.

[spiffa0]

Graduated from college with a degree in a field that has one of the best outlooks for the next ten years...and yet I'm still unemployed.

What was your degree in?

[geebee889]

I usually work a summer theatre camp, but this is the first time in 5 years that I'm not working them. It'll be weird.

[spiffa0]

Accounting

[XLT917]

Workin at my old high school just for whatever they need, it's 12 dollars an hour and about 20 hours a week so it's pretty great and for the most part not too dificult.

[shimmyshakes]

Kmart.

[aerofan11]

Trying desperately to get a good paying job. If i don't get something, i'll work for my family. This summer isn't going to be that great.

[Xx sorrow xX]

i couldn't find one so i'm just sitting at home this summer

[zion the lion]

They just built the first imax theater here (in alaska) so I might get a job there...and if not, I'll just work at cares for kids.

[TSTLSOOM]

Universal Studios Hollywood. I think it might make me miss warped tour, i guess this is growing up.

[klawansie7]

Accounting
ahh why would you do that to yourself?? haha. i'm a business major (information process management), and was considering double-majoring in accounting, but then i took managerial and was like yeaaa no.

[aboyandhiscurse]

i'm working for my mom's friend. and also my uncle. no taxes woooo.

[roughroads]

I got a pretty sweet job out at my cabin.
Get a couple buddies out there, have a couple drinks around the campfire, I'll be set haha.

[mymusicismylife]

I got this sweet job at Walmart, it's hella cool.

[Loyaltabk]

got a job, but can't do it because I'm 16, and only have the working papers from when I was 14. supposed to go to the place tomorrow with all my documentation (working papers included). might try it anyway

[Neo Cassady]

Still trying to find a summer job. I'll probably end up either as a bank teller or a pizza delivery dude. You know, typical college-town stuff.

[saveferris]

Tough times in the economy. It took me forever to find the one I have now

[saveferris]

That's coo, I used to work their. I was only a seasonal employee though.

[saveferris]

Major win. Taxes are a bitch

[saveferris]

I miss doing that. It gets a little boring though

Eh that kind of sucks. I'll be working from 7:30 til 5

That's cool. It can actually be pretty fun. The kids I work with are the inner city types of kids and they can be a handful, but i've gotten attatched to a lot of them so I really love it.

[saveferris]

Universal Studios Hollywood. I think it might make me miss warped tour, i guess this is growing up.
Ugh, those were my exact thoughts when I got my first job.

[Nuns On A Bus]

Just got a job calling people doing surveys. Sounds like it won't be terribly exciting, but it'll be easy.

Oh, and it also pays $12.50/hr, and goes up to 14/hr once I make it to 100 hours. It's going to be so nice rubbing it in to all my friends who have been making fun of me for being lazy and not having a job for the last few months

[jump start]

My dad owns a few independent Apple stores, and I'll be working at one this summer. Unpacking boxes, answering the phone, going to the bank, stuff like that. I got $7.50 an hour last summer, but I don't know what I'll make this summer.

[cuidado]

I got a job doing delivery for this new Italian restaurant. It's pretty sick cause they pay me a little for gas and then tips are obviously good. My boss kinda freaked out at me today....but it's fine. I'm workin the dinner shift tmrw but there probably won't be any deliveries. Lunch is where its at!

[recall reality]

U.S. Census Bureau

We're doing the non-response follow up right now. Usually pretty easy, occasionally a pain in the ass, but the pay is nice.

[HometownHero]

I hope I get it then. I've done somewhat similar, working at Boy Scout camps and such but this one would be more real kids and not sheltered Mormon boys looking to tie knots haha I'm jealous of you

[Jennurna Gray]

I just dyed my hair purple, I can't get a job.

Smart, huh?

A clothing store would probably hire you. You could always give it a go.

[Xx sorrow xX]

yes it is boring

I did this on purpose, lol.

[SophGod]

i push carts at a grocery store. its aight.

[spiffa0]

I did it because four years ago I was guaranteed a job. But they lied.

[sweetforever]

I detail cars

[apsterling]

I work at an insurance company, doing leads/audits on policies. $10.75 an hour with nice consistent scheduling.

[SmittyMA]

13 applications later i finally scored an interview. but who the hell knows? job market sucks if you don't know somebody to hook you up.

[The Summer Ends]

I mow big fields with either a big mower or a big tractor, I ride a Gator around pretending to do stuff, I clean up trails and stuff, or I help with some research. All outside, all with my iPod in, all for $11/hr (got a $1/hr raise after a week on the job). I love my job.

Also, I got this job with 0 previous job experience and my only reference being my uncle who's a farmer.

[demora]

i work in the carnival area of an adventure/theme park. pretty much exactly like the movie adventureland. the pay isn't great but it's such a fun job.

[Kozzy333]

I hate not knowing people who can hook you up. Even worse when people say they can hook you up and do nothing.

this x1000 especially in my town. It's damn near impossible unless you have connections

Oregon is brutal, i've been shot down by numerous interviews in the last 5 months.

[Larsfan]

I've been searching for about two years now and i have had NOTHING. But today i have two interviews! So that's pretty sweet. I just hope they'll go well...

[thesollopsist]

Thinking of getting me a summer job at my local Asda/Walmart, whatever you wanna call it, since my social life has become pretty much non existent.

[alilbravetoaste]

me too brah.

[HometownHero]

Oregon is brutal, i've been shot down by numerous interviews in the last 5 months.

I had a job for two years in Oregon but barely got any hours at all. I don't know where you are located but apply at the Clackamas Town Center mall for security. They are always hiring, I had an interview for it but I just moved to Idaho. And now cant find shit again

[Nuns On A Bus]

Yep, I'm pretty sure this is the case everywhere right now. My (new) boss even told me that they only hired people who were recommended by the people who worked there

[catherinexhimel]

This'll be my first summer working, but it's only three days a week so that's not too bad.

[Michifoxx]

I'm gonna work for the school district at an elementary school. Not too sure what i'm in for yet but seems like easy money

[terror_91]

Managed to get myself 8 days of work (1 is scanning all the books in my school's library; roughly 19,000 for the masses and masses of you that are interested. The other 4 days is working at a flower show taking plants to and fro and back again). Need some more work, will apply for proper jobs once my exams are finished. Wouldn't mind something like babysitting on a regular basis.

[natalieruthless]

daycare. awesome hours. dont work weekends. love it.

[brandnew=love]

Been working at JC Penney's for 8 months and it's been 8 months too long... customers are the worst.

[ChelseaRiane]

I'm going to be a lifeguard making 12 bucks an hour. Couldnt ask for anything better. I love pools and sitting in the sun :)

Also I'm going to keep my exsisting job at an open air market selling fruits, veggies and flowers. They pay good too
