I teach middle school math. It's extremely taxing. There are days when, on my drive home, I think of all the other jobs I could get with my education. Currently, these days outweigh the number of days when I feel happy with my job, but they don't call your first year of teaching "survival year" for nothing.

I love my job at the phone monkey factory. It's not an ideal job but it's just around there. I think if I expected some sort of impossibly cushy job that paid for my livelihood to the point of excess, that's asking for too much.
I have no job, though not for lack of trying. My timetable would allow one, indeed a fairly flexible one. I've sent in numerous applications, but I'm obviously not what they're looking for.
I was too messed up when I was a teenager, and never got myself together to get a job. :( Being in a student town sure doesn't help, too.
I feel like a failure sometimes but honestly, I don't know what a near-suicidal teenager was supposed to do. I just wish SOMEONE would give me a chance now. I mean come on, how hard can it be to teach a guy to operate a cash register and stack some shelves? It'll take like one day MAX to get me to a useful level, and hell, I'll work for free that day.
KoShiatar get me a joerb I know games better than anyone? :3
I work at a grocery store deli. I like the job, it keeps me busy and my mind off stuff. It's customers that I don't like.
I slice meat, cook chickens, skewer chickens, clean, clean the olive cart, fill up the salad shelf; make pies, sandwiches and wraps, prepare different party trays and prepare for all of the above and there's probably more that I can't think of at the moment. I don't even know how to do some of those! Oh, and we have to deal with customers. We all loathe that :bigsmile:
I work at a food place on campus called Ovid's. It's part of the William T. Young Library (Second largest in the U.S. in book endowment next to Harvard's, first among public Universities).
Before I started the job, I knew about seven or eight people that worked there. Three of them are my roommates, and the rest are other friends. I do various jobs from making food on the grill, serving at the hot bar, taking out trash, doing the dishes, etc. It's a fun job for the most part.
I know what that feeling of failure is like. Although I wasn't near-suicidal or that, I just didn't want a job when I had to spend so much time on my school work. So when things didn't work out as I'd hoped last year, I found myself taking an unplanned gap year which meant finding a job. I don't live in a student town, but North Wales is crap for jobs because firstly they're quite substantially lower wages than in other parts of the UK and secondly because there's few of them to go around. Something'll come along eventually, even if it's just something like working in Woolies like I've got, it's just the first step on the ladder innit.Quote:

Get a job in your student union. Easy bar work.
Hate serving women though, they always always order something complicated like cocktails. I can make them, but they take ages :rolleyes2
woah how do you get an awesome job like that?Quote:

I work at Best Buy, the big domineering (some say screw-you-out-of-money) electronics store of the US. :bigsmile: It's not too bad...They were my first job ever last winter, and now I'm back in for Thanksgiving and the holiday season. I sell iPods and miscellaneous other MP3 players, along with cell phones and accessories. I prefer the register though...Just ring stuff up and say, "Did you find everything okay?" and "Do you have a Rewards Zone membership with us?" :D
You have no idea how hard it is. Some cash registers are stupidly awkward.....so are some people to be honest. Also shelf stacking....at my shop I have to carry 24 litres of pop up two flights of stairs, I actually got really toned arms. I work at Martin McColls in huddersfield, the largest newsagent in England :D :D :D Not the actual building but the company :PQuote:

Smile and Be happy :love:
I'm working at a hotel and casino. I'm at the Front Desk of the Hotel, working overnight, doing the Night Audit. It's good to be back there. Plus I get to be home with the boys during the day...
My grandparents have a roll-off box business. It's nice because I don't have to work minimum wage at a fast foot restaurant and I can come in whenever I want.
I once worked at a Family Dollar. I suspect that I caught a strange disease there, because I was sick for an entire year after I worked there for a few weeks.
