I just gotta the job of my life. I work in this health food place inside of a huge ass gym. We make all these protein/general health shakes, have massive healthy foods, supplements, meal replacements and shit. It's awesome. And maybe after college I can work in the gym as personal trainer, I dunno. But right now, I'm in heaven.


So post your current employment fellow gravers.

9.00/Hr to start off, then a raise I believe after 3 months. This job is just to hold me off until May when I start my summer job, which yields over $600 a week. :)


But that is as a frycook, at least now I can eat everything in my work place. :heh

Dunno if anyone has heard of Middlebury College, but I work at a dining hall there, doing dishes. It's not very glamorous, and I only make 7.75 an hour, but I work 12 hours a week so I get about 180 every 2 weeks. It's not bad.

I work for Sprint/Nextel obviously selling cell phones. Apparently I'm so impressive with my people skills that a gentlemen from Primerica (one of the biggest financial groups on the Dow 30) basically offered me a job. Had it not been for FT college, FT work and FT reviewing, I would have probably taken it. Just the guy seemed very eerie and was pressuring me into accepting it (saying that ppl there make 140K a yr and $140/hr) but I've seen people that make as little as $63/wk.

Anyhow with Sprint I made $10.05 an hr and then a boatload on commission. Last month I made about $2400 (nearly $700 every 2 weeks and about $800-$1000 in commission <--- and I didn't even hit my quota!!)

I used to be a dishwasher at two different places, but now I work at F.Y.E. (for your entertainment) which is equivalent to Media Play. It sells a shit ton of CDs and Video Games and Movies. I get mad discounts on everything, I love it. I also volunteer at a daycare at my old school. Word.

That's cool; I used to volunteer at a local daycare in Toronto, in my early teens. They liked me because I was great with kids.

As I've said in threads past, I work in IT. I programmed for the web and telecommunications apps until 2001, and I've been in IT Operations since, which is basically a very hands-on helpdesk. This job is so dirty that we wear jeans and t-shirts every day to work. It sucks; I like to dress nicely. The job is a keeper, though; I work for one of the top 25 companies in Fortune Magazine's 2007 "Top 100 Companies to Work For" list. I make enough money, and this job is easy, though I often miss the mental exercise of programming.

Oh man, today is awesome for two reasons. Today is my 4th anniversary with my girlfriend, and that made today/this morning awesome, but it got even better a couple hours ago as I just got hired/oriented for a new job at Miles Kimball. I would do customer service, but mostly data entry, which I own at. The hours are godly cause Miles Kimball lets you choose whatever hours you feel like. And the best part about it is, I get paid $11.00 an hour :pimp

well, technically I am the Lead Supervisor of the Loan department here at PNC bank, but what that really means is I have a nice corner office that I can sit in and do absolutely nothing.

My cousin, whom I got a job at PNC, is my second, and he kicks ass. Everyone he has in turn gotten a job works in the loan department too, and they all work, very well to boot. Point is, they make my job very easy -- there isn't nearly as much supervision needed when you have the number 1 department in the entire company. Its so awesome.

40 grand a year, all salary, and while i view salary as the enemy, for now, there is no need for me to work overtime -- the loan department leads every other divison at pnc in all the important statistics (efficiency, lowest time off, etc, etc) so I guess I have no right to complain.

And to boot, I finally have a job/position where I can sit at work and just browse the internet whenever I want, lol. If SSX5 comes out, I guess work is the time I will be using to write walkthroughs hehe.

Haha, I used to have a job like LBs, except I wasn't a supervisor. I actually had so little to do when I was a temp and moved up here to Oregon that I started writing guides to fill the time and appear to passers-by that I was doing something productive. :heh
