Fun job? Make the job fun. If you do trolley boy at a supermarket, make it a game, everytime theres a bike rider, race them to say, the nearest pole, or see how many you can get collected in 10 minutes and pretend theres a big prize at the end.

If your working in an abatoir, smear blood on your face and pretend your rambo, and start speaking out loud like a maniac.


Do it for lulz.

Then you get there and realized you've accomplished nothing :smith:

No, you did accomplish something. You got out and worked, and did stuff. Goals don't allways need to be huge to be worth something. It's more like baby steps.

You could work at the movie theatre.

Great pay, and the best hours you'll ever have!

thats the most gay and retarded reply ive seen in one of my threads for a while.

normally this post would of consist of three letters, maybe 4, but not now, because i'm feeling like making a big point out of it.

now i was going to analyze your post in detail, and come up with a retardedly long winded story of why you might post that, and humiliate/offend you in the process, receiving infractions for it, and me not caring, but im not going to.

bai.

It was either Jean Reno screaming or a revolving spiral that flashes...

Also, I agree with Dano's posts.

NO SHIT?

but seriously, work for a grocery store. they over pay there in hopes that they'll discourage their young employees from going to college, and they'll stay there as a clerk forever. just don't get sucked in and its a pretty good job. you wont have to deal with people to much either if your stocking or cleaning or something

I was being sarcastic, but on that note I think I can end it now by noting that, in fact, it wasn't funny in the least.

Also, if you want a job that doesn't involve people I would suggest either janitorial work or like moving shit, repo if you're as big as you sound.

Speaking of jobs...

I need money, but am also in school. No way am I ever waking up at Five AM ever again on a Saturday, but at the same time, I get home at around four, so I don't know what I should do.

Do what my friend does.

Buy the really cheap giant bags of mini-sized Halloween candy, and sell 6 for a dollar at school. You can make upwards of $20 on each bag.

It's no job, but it's a quick way to make money.

For me, my day consits of bagging groceries, taking customers to their car, bringing carts in off the lot, and then the variety of odd jobs that need to be done between departments. Sure, I have a lot of fun at work because I work with a lot of people my own age that I've known almost all my life, but its still not that great of a fun part time job. The best thing to do part time would be to do some odd jobs. Yard work, etc are all good because they can pay nicely and you also get a good work out from them. You could do some computer work/repair, I do that on the side and make a bit of extra change for very little work. There is also the fact most Grocery stores discourage seasonal workers, they have to retrain you and you lose all your benefits if you leave and come back in too big of an interval.

When I was younger, I had a summer job working for a pyrotechnics company setting up and producing musically choreographed fireworks shows. I started out as a technician and ended up completely producing shows before I moved on. It was a blast...no pun intended. I pulled about $800 out of a three day set up and show not including lodging and meals, not to mention sitting as close as allowed to a 12" mortar when I light it off. Larger shows took about a week to set up and were paid more accordingly.

If you think about it, pyrotechnic companies stay pretty busy year round given the annual string of holiday's not to mention public and private one time events.

So, if you like to light things up, but you are not interested in terrorist or military activities, this might be the thing for you.

So, if you like to light things up, and are interested in terrorist or military activities in response to government enforcement, the drug trade might be the thing for you.
