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.

I currently have no job, but come Summer I have a few options for places to work. There would be Germany, to work and live with my sister and brother-in-law, The Army, Alberta for some logging thing, or I could just be lame, stay around blondie, and get some low paying job here.

NYC's Department of Sanitation Human Resources Intern. Got this crappy job through work study so I can pay for college. So to make my work even more unrewarding, nothing I make can actually be spent on myself. I answer phones trying to calm down angry garbagemen who are pissed off that the fat old women in my office never call them back when they need help. Input data on these angry garbagemen. Make copies of documents of people who hope to become angry garbagemen. Run errands picking up papers on angry garbagemen who somehow got in trouble. Etc etc. $7 an hour which doesn't even come close to how much work study is suppose to cover. Plus interns from other colleges doing the same work I do get paid $2 more an hour. Bastards.

Just two more weeks though and I'm getting a new job for the summer. But I'm also going to class everyday this summer from 9-3 and then 6-8pm, so I gotta find a job where I can work 3-6 everyday.

And I get an least 10 new papercuts everyday I work there. My hands are gonna look like Marv's face soon.

Inbound Sales for a MAJOR *hint hint* ISP *cough AOops*

Makes 8 an hour with the ability to earn an addition $5 per hour every 2 weeks, depending on 'stuff' (and combine it with overtime being time and a half and well, it gets pretty 'nasty'

If you like to play golf, working at a golf course is just perfect. That is, if they let you play for free. It saves you a LOT of money, and you make a lot of people who like golf too.

Grocery store: produce department. I make $6.50 an hour. I'm working on getting an interview to work at the Engineering Department of a place called Hansen Mold. I'll let you know how it goes in the next couple of weeks.

It'll pay $7-8 hour.

Oh yeah, my hours range from 12-20. If I get the Hansen Mold job, I could be working full time during the summer... maybe even some over time (50 hours)

very cool...my buddies and I are starting up a creative marketing/design/advertising company and my role is vp/director of marketing. I would either doing or hiring people to do the kinda things like you just described. it's hard to get work, but when you do, it really pays off. we've received $1000 for a business card design, and hundreds more for a backdrop for a presentation, a logo for a soccer tournament...things like that.

Im still working at Cobatco, where ive been for going on two years now.

For those of you who dont know, we make waffle machines and waffle cone machines, the larger commercial type for restaurants and hotels and such. Im making $6.90 an hour. Its mostly boring factory type work, screw this nut into this screw, tighten, ect. But I'll admit the job does have its advantages. For one thing ive gotten several friends of mine jobs there so thats nice. Also, hours are perfect during school its 3-6PM, Monday through Friday, which is great because all my nights are free. And I never have to work weekends. That and during the Summer I can pretty much make up my own schedule. And theyre real good about time off, just ask and youve got it.
