[jiza101]

I used to work at a supermarket (2-3 years) in the deli. Anyway i left there, since i got sick of it and im looking for a new job. I was interested in like after day care at the school accross the street, what avenue would you think i would have to take, to apply ??

Im from Australia btw, so it may be different to the USA, and im at uni 5 days a week which makes it harder. So where do you all work, and can you give me some ideas, btw i hate customer service i did that for to long

My 19 year old daughter works at the movie theater. My 14 year old works at Wendy's...and he makes a dollar more an hour than his big sister. She gets to bring people to movies for free, though.

Pawn shop, fixing computers. Its a sweet deal, I work on my own time, just once or twice a week pick up a few computers and fix them, return them along with however many hours I spent fixing them and get paid big bucks.

Wow, some nice jobs you guys have there. How did you get to be there, most of your jobs sure beat the hell out of working in a damn deli

I work on the stock market...well I did until my dad took my funds out to pay for school. I was doing REALLY good too. Something around $1,000 a week. Now I have to wait for my capitol to go back up until I get to start trading again.

I work at sears, and average about 10-13 an hour. I'm in the electronics dept, and it's a fun, easy, social job that is commission based.

The best paying job I've had was working at Olive Garden. I would work some 8hr shifts and take home over $200.

I'm 20, and I don't have a job.

Eh...who am I kidding? I need to find a job, so I can move out of Mom and Dad's and pay a mortgage. Their allowance always runs thin so it's not financially feasible for me to move out.

But what am I to do? I can only work days (or if need be, overnights), and I need a full-time job.

I take evening classes so it's not like I sit on my butt all day. But still, it'd be better to get a day job.

As being nothing but a high school graduate (at the moment, this'll change eventually) who needs a regular day job (or possibly overnight), what are my options?

Fast food joints don't count.

Being a bartender sounds cool, except I'm not 21 and I'd probably have to work weekends a lot.

Being a server in a quality busy restaurant can bring home more money than you'd imagine. It's instant cash, too. At the last place I worked I averaged between $25 and $35 an hour...sometimes more. If you're good at waiting tables, friendly and can cope with pressure well, you can make a lot of money as a waiter.
