| **shrugs** People have mentioned in various threads here, that they have a job and stuff like that....so...I'm wondering...what kinda job does everyone have? If you feel like sharing that is...and do you like it? **shrugs** Stuff like that.
As for myself...I have a job and a half.  However, haven't worked just yet. **dies** My actual job is at the Game Stop. I'll pretty much just be stocking everything and being a cashire. No big. Reason why I chose it? Other than this past year, I usually lived there practically. Not so much cuz I'm some sort of "hardcore" gamer or anything...because I'm not.  But I like them enough to talk about them with the employees. And besides, I knew the guys for a long time. One of the people running the store grew up with my brother-in-law, so I liked talking to them, and a few of the employees are REALLY good at math, so I used to have them help me with my math. 
So, I know what kind of days they have, so for the most part, I'll have time to get my homework done there, and I'll have all that help with my math. Some of the employees they had were college students, and they'd be sitting there doing their work, so, yeah. Just so long as their job is done and done right, there's no worries. So that's why I chose to work there. Though I don't start 'til August now...
And the other "half" is at the nursing home. They only call me in on weekends and they can call me at random. Sometimes I'll work an hour, sometimes I'll be there all day. Sometimes they won't even need me there that weekend period, so...**shrugs** So yeah...good pay though and they give all kinds of raises, especially for school students who keep up their grades AND a job there. |

| I work at Starbucks. I've decided that I hate making coffee and dealing with the assholes that come in. *has had several bad incidents* As a company, they're awesome to work for. Good benefits, and they'll reimburse you for any business classes you take in college and stuff. And pay starts at $7.25/hr, plus tips. I make about $2.60-3.00 in tips an hour. Basically, the decent pay is the only reason I still work there. *shrugs* I tend to work about 20 hours a week on average.. so that's around $200 a week. *shrugs* not bad for a part time job, I suppose, but I still don't like it. The only bad thing about it is the hours. Getting up at 3AM really isn't too appealing... | |||

| I work for a company called PCI. Performance Contracting Inc. For those that don't know that means that I'm a construction worker. Right now were building a Kaiser Permanente out in Panorama City. That's basically on the other side of Los Angeles from me so it's a bit of a drive every day to get to work.
I have to wake up at 3:30 every morning to be ready in time for the carpool with some of the other workers and I'm not much of a moring person but really I think that's the biggest downpoint to the job. Most of the time since I started this job I'm just pushing a broom around, which I actually don't mind too much because the way I look at it there are going to be shit jobs that I'm going to have to do because I'm the new guy but they have to get done so I might as well just do them, especially since they're paying me very well The good news is that I just got my tools yesterday so now when I'm on the job I won't end up just pushing around a broom cause the journeymen on the job will know that I won't be using their tools if they give me something else to do. I'm currently a first stage apprentice helping to build a hospital and within a couple months I think I'll be moving to another job site working on another Kaiser. The job is very interesting, I don't have any time to get bored. Friday at work I got a pretty good gash and a bruise across my leg because I wasn't paying attention. This job keeps one on their toes at all times if they wan't to avoid injury. It's steady work. 8 hours a day 5 days a week. overtime on saturday. I'm earning $12.11 per hour as a first stage starting pay, I get a pay increase every five months and if I go to school whenever I can through work I can advance in apprentice stages and withing maybe 5 years I'll be making $37.00 per hour. So yeah. I like my job. |

I work for my stepfather's oil company. I also help take care of our rental properties. Most of the time I am hooking up oil or salt water tanks, fixing pump jacks, laying pipe lines, or doing something dealing with oil tanks, meters, or pump jacks. As far as the rental properties go, I do not get to give out eviction notices  , that is what my stepfather does  but I clean, paint, lay new carpet, put in new ceiling tiles, and do all kinds of work to the rental properties. So far that is what I am up to, but things will probably change come college in the fall. |

I don't really have a job at the moment  I know naughty me I don't really need one at the moment. I've been on a lot of work experience (goes to a job place for a week to get experience and a reference etc) but you don't get payed with them
My friend works at a cinerma, local, she said they are looking for more people.. but I'm not sure if I should take it or not, I've done up a resumé and everything, so we will see whether I put it in or not.. I basically do a lot of the house work, tis where I get my money Cause dad is usually at work all day, sometimes on weekends, so it's just my sister and me, but my sister is very lazy so to get the place cleaned and dinner ready etc, I have to do them
Anyway, I used to have a job, last year, I worked at a floristry (sp?) but that really wasn't my thing. |

| I work at a gas station/convenience store called Sheetz. Not the greatest job in the world by any stretch of the imagination, but the drinks are free, food's half-off, and the food's actually pretty damn good. | |||

| Military for me. Army Reserve branch. Currently I'm on active duty and am mobilized to Ft. McCoy, WI, about 2 and a half hours from my home in Minnesota. I'm sure some you have seen me mention about myself being there. I've been here for a year and a half (on the 19th of this month) and I'm hoping to get extended out for another 6 months. My unit is a training support batallion (TSBn). We train unit from the midwest area (sometimes further out) going oversea to Iraq or wherever in what they will be doing. For instance, we have an Airforce unit over here right now, but at the moment there will be no training for today or tomorrow. So I'm sitting in a office, on the internert, with pretty much nothing to do for a while.
The Army can be a good job to have sometimes. Many people, including some of you guys here, probably think that if you join the Army you'll be sent to Iraq right away and have to fight. As such you may not want to join As someone who's in the military let me tell you this: that's not the case. Depending on which unit you end up in, you may or may not go. And even if you do, there's a good chance you won't ever be put in a situation where your life is at risk. Heh, more soldiers die over in Iraq from accidents than enemy fire anyway, so the main thing you'd have to watch for is your friends making a fatal mistake. The pay is good too. At the rank of Sergeant (pay grade E-5) and having over 6 years in, I get nearly $1500 paychecks (after taxes). Not bad at all. Plus, the benefits and retirement pay is great. There are some days where I work only a few hours and still get paid for the whole day. How many jobs in the civilian world do that?  |

| the advice I got from my mom is you should work somewhere that you don't want to buy things from. So I work at Canterburies in Warm Springs, GA. It's a store that sells that thing I hate the most. Nic nacs. You know those things that have no purpose in them but you put them up for show for decoration. They are usless. I'm going to be working part time on the 22 of July. Woot I just got this job as well. I found out I got it when I found out I was a moderator of this board =P. That was fun. | |||

Usually we only have two people doing a tire rotation, sometime only one when we're really busy and Curt-Tech's are needed elsewhere. |

| I don't have a job. Nothing too much I would want to work at here. I'd love to work at a Video Game store or CD Store for the moment, but anything that pays would be okay. Excluding like garbage people. Man, I need to start looking. I can't bum off my dad for cash forever.
I most I've ever asked from my dad is 40 bucks. Don't ask for much. Secretly though, I'd love 300 dollars so I can buy all the games I want at the moment (I only have enough for one. I've been contemplating which to get). Not to mention it may come in handy to have a job down the road. Duh. =/ |

I don't have a job either, although I use much money on CDs and videogames. Why? Simply because I want to have some free time left. I'm still going to school, and there's much homework to do, so there's not much time left for the computer, the music and my friends. Also, my grandparents are quite rich, so I get much money from them.  |
