First Job Idea

[GreatLakes]

I don't want to be a Negative Nancy, but from what I hear waiting tables is one of the most stressful and demanding jobs you can have, I think it would be anything but simple. I know people who work in high stress jobs like social work that say, it is less stressful than working as wait staff in a restaurant.

I don't know how many hours you want to work, or what your qualifications are, but you might look into banking. A lot of places are looking for part time and fulltime tellers. That can be a bit stressful, but if you pay your dues as a teller for a while, you can work your way into something that pays more and is less stressful pretty quickly. When working for a bank, you are at least guaranteed major holidays off, and at least Sunday off. A lot of people do work Saturdays for a half day (some by choice, others by rotation) especially on the teller lines.

Teller is a very good suggestion. There is a shortage and while you will likely have to work some Saturdays most places aren't open too late. You do have to deal with people which is always a crap shoot on any day but in banking procedures are extremely detailed and the teller role is pretty much just following the procedure and escalating anything out of the ordinary to the head teller, service rep, branch manager, etc.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, all taken on board. I think I'll avoid waitering jobs!
