Default Work

Ok who's got a job? I just recently finished school (until Septmeber) and so I've started working at a golf course. Pays only $7.40 an hour, but I get to play all the golf I want for free (when I'm not working), and its a nice course. It's a tough job, too. Constantly running around doing stuff, and it has tired the hell out of me even though I've only worked 14 hours in two days



Anyways, what are you guys doing for work?

Right now I work at a full serve gas station, I've worked there for over a year now, but not sure how much longer I'll be around there (I could go into the details but its a long story). I get paid 7.75 per hour.

School is currently more than enough work for me. In addition to the roughly 20 hours of class time per week (actually just Monday-Thursday) I probably have roughly 700-800 pages of reading per week. So, there are some days when I'm easliy doing 12-14 hours of work per day, almost non-stop until I go to sleep. It's a bitch sometimes, but that's the life, I still "relax" on weekend nights.

For the summer, the Spinto Band is going on tour for about a month starting in mid-June. Probably won't make much money personally because of it, but it will be an experience.

I've also applied for an Resident Advisor like position at college...It pays $700 for the whole term which is pretty good because it isn't the hardest job in the world. You have to go to meetings and be nice to the freshmen, and that is more or less it. Plus you get to go to school a week earlier than everyone else for "training" or as I have heard it described to me, a week of "drinking and partying like crazy." Sounds worth it to me.

I work at a photography studio. Started out just retouching photos in the back with photoshop and scanning in film, pictures, slides, and videos onto the harddrive. Then I started doing that and developing the photos and modifying the colors and so on to the customers delight. Now I'm doing those things and working the front a bit. $7.50 an hour for a REALLY easy job. Straight cash too

But, I'm thinking of quitting and working at a golf course too. I just really hate being inside a dark room and looking at a computer screen all day. I'd rather be outside doing ANYTHING instead.

Currrently I work at the library on my University campus. Its technically a workstudy job, so I only make 6 bucks an hour, but they have to schedule my hours around classes and school activities. Also, since I want to go into L&I Sciences, its really a good place to work.

Over the summer I'll have a paid internship making about $12 an hour :-D

I work at a lake estate on Okanagan Lake. It's owned by the owner of the Vancouver White Caps. It's basically his family's summer home. They have a soccer field which takes a lot of work and a ****load of landscaping type work to do. I get paid 12 bucks an hour. I like it.

When I'm not doing that or school then I help my dad renovate our latest project house.
