Where is everyone working this summer?

[Bond]

I realize a lot of us already have permanent jobs (feel free to post those too), but for our university students, where is everyone working (or not) this summer?


I am interning at a District Attorney's Office. Wahoo! I was also going to work part-time again at the hospital I interned at last year, but then they instituted a hiring-free, and that fell through.

Costco!

Wake up around 3am, start at 4am off around 11am.

Boy how I missed jobs with end dates.

I recently got a new job as a Case Manager in a Community Residence. It is similar to what I do now, but higher up on the food chain, and more interactions with clients and their outside environment I hope.

The only thing I dread is working above people, as much as I can project it, I loathe telling people what to do.

I need a job. I have had no luck finding work, the two companies I did IT work for have downsized and are not hiring. I don't feel like going back to retail, although I'm sure Jewel would take me back....

I have 4-weeks off, and then I start an 8-week summer school session where I will be commuting 2+ hours every day to Chicago for summer school. I figure that will make up for not working in the long run. Plus I need a vacation...I worked all last summer and with the hour-long commute both ways I ended up spending 11-12 hours on "work time" everyday. It sucked ass.

At this point I won't have a summer job, though I would like to pick up some odd jobs if they are available. Otherwise my band is looking for a space we can turn into our own studio so we can record our next record. That should take up a lot of time presuming we find a space relatively soon.

I have an internship at PennDOT this summer, which is the Department of Transportation for Pennsylvania. I'll be working outside as a field inspector for road construction. I'll be under an engineer, watching how everything works, and making sure that the construction workers are doing things right. I get to just drive to the site everyday, and hopefully it'll be close to my house. I also get paid back some amount of money per mile, which is usually more than how much gas will cost me, but that amount back also covers for general maintenance on my car too. I start on May 18th, and I'll be done at the middle/end of August when I have to go back to Pitt for my last semester.

Well as you may well know I recently moved to London with the intention of seeking employment as the work situation is dire, to say the least, on the Isle Of Wight, where I come from.

I recently started a part time educational course in mathematics. Seems weird having left school 7 odd years ago. But thats a free course that I can boost my qualifications on my Curriculum Vitae (Resumé) with.

I just got a job for the NHS testing their computer systems, programmes etc, nothing to complex, just pissing about with it, answering some questions about it, play testing it basically and getting paid about £30 for a couple of hours work. Not too bad. Trouble is its only gonna happen like, once or twice a month. As in they call me and say, hey dude, can you come here and do this today? ;)

So the search for work continues.

For the first three weeks of summer, I'll be in Paris studying Medieval French History...this is in June and July and all our assignments are not due until, oh, September! So, I'll be getting my Wine and steeeze on instead throughout the trip. Anyone been before?

As for work, I'll be the Assistent to the Executive Director of the UCLA Anderson School Management's Entertainment and Media Management Institute. Been working there for the past year or so, love the job, and my summer duties will include helping out with the running of the Sports and Entertainment Management Summer Institutes, getting guests speakers, and chaperoning Students on Studio and Stadium tours. Being paid peanuts, but the job has too many perks to complain.

Oh, and for a week in August I'll be working as a camp counselor at UCLA Unicamp again. It's probably the best thing I've done in college, and if you want some more info on it, or want to help me fund raise, check this link out. My counselor name is Jumper btw.

Hopefully I will be working at clubs in and around Vancouver for one reason or another.

Since I graduate on Saturday I have been looking for jobs everywhere, and I keep having to set my sights lower and lower and lower...its sad actually...

I just took a job today working for a call center where I will be basically a tech support guy for SHARP. 9.25 an hour to stary, paid vacation, benefits...it sucks but I guess its better than nothing. Sure as hell not what Id imagined I would be doing as a college graduate...

[Teuthida]

Drawin' me own comic this month. Shall see if hear back from a couple places applied to for longer projects. If not then going right into drawing issue three of that comic I keep getting sucked back in to do. I guess the second one sold well enough for there to be a third.

So short answer is: from home, as always.

[TheSlyMoogle]

Oh just working at cracker barrel again and waiting until I turn 24 to finish up school finally.

[Swan]

I shall be going to school this summer instead of working

[Bond]

Yeah! What are you going for?

[Jonbo298]

Likely working where I am now...Inbound CSR for a major Mortgage company (not specifying who in case they are watching :sneaky: ). Though on a related note, I was hired on Full Time today so I won't have to be through the temp agency I was with anymore as of next week. So I'm extremely happy for it. Benefits through temp place were just bleh but tolerable.

Not an ideal position, but it'll be good while in College starting this fall (hopefully). Pretty flexible which I'll need.

[Swan]

Yeah! What are you going for?

I'm just taking a 4 month General Trades program. Show me a bunch of different stuff, let me learn a little bit about all of it. Figure out what I want to do

[Yoda9864]

Well, I'll still be working at Epic as a software developer. I feel like I got quite lucky in my job search. I only sent my resume to two companies, interviewed at both, got an offer from the second.

Now I'm a 23 year old making near 6 digits doing something I like to do (don't hate doing at least). Thanks life!

[Jonbo298]

Wow, Didn't know you worked at Epic, Yoda. Congrats even though it seems you've been there a bit already :p

You must be pretty good at what you do then. What does your job as a software developer involve?

[Yoda9864]

Developing software of course :P

Nothing too exciting though, some research and design and a whole lot of coding.

And yeah, I've been there about a year and a half already.

I should also specify that this is not Epic Games. I wish it was Epic Games. That would be fantastic.

Continuing my internship as a software developer at Perot Systems, working full time for the summer, same as last year.

I'm just at EA doing video capture for Need for Speed: Shift. You'll see my work soon enough, in the form of developer diaries and E3 trailers.

Did anyone watch Beetleborgs? The guy I work with did voice acting for the show, and voiced two villains over the two seasons. Hahahaha. I wondered why his voice sounded familiar. He's also worked as assistant director on a ton of films, including Freddy Got Fingered, Day After Tomorrrow, and I, Robot.

I loved that show back in the day.

I may have mentioned it a while back, but this semester for my graphics class I designed a video game (fps doom-like game). I got an email from that prof today (we demoed our games to the class a few days ago) saying he was impressed with my work, and offered me an internship at our University developing a game to work with his motion sensor system.

Too bad the pay is significantly less than my current internship, it sounds very fun. :\
