Jobs

[Savikins]

Do you have a job, or do you volunteer anywhere? Do you like what you do?

I'm an intern at the Florida Aquarium. It's part of something I have to do for school. I get to get out of class all day every Friday and talk to people about fish. xDD

What about you guys?

 

[Sparx]

no, not right now.

my last job was working at a high school though. i really liked it.

 

[Axel]

I bus tables at a bar in at a ski resort in the winter and I do that on weekends and over vacation. I get free skiing as a job perk plus $6.50+tips.

In the summer I sell ice cream at the same resort, but on a different mountain. I get free passes to use the water slides and alpine slide plus admission to a bunch of other local places.

And I get free food at both.

yep, my current job is @ HMV (which is the same sort of thing as the store FYE in the us) I love it! Lots of great people working there and I love being surrounded by music & movies I've worked there for about a year now.

in the summer i also had a full time job as a receptionist. i liked it alright but i'd never want to do something like that for a career!! it's too mundane.

before that i worked at AMC, which was alright, ilooooved the people there (and the free movies!!) but the job itself was kinda crappy, i had to give up friday & saturday nights too often.

aaaand before that i volunteered at this place called pioneer village, which was definitely my favourite job!! even though i didnt get paid haha. it's this place where they have historic buildings and pretend like it's pioneer times. i love acting so it was fun to get to dress up like a pioneer and have to act like one all day.

and on top of hmv right now i'm also starting to get into acting. i just started recently so i haven't gone to any auditions yet, i'm still getting al set up and stuff. but hopefully i can get some jobs doing that because that'd be good money!

I used to volunteer at some place just like that! It was called Cracker Country and I got to dress up in an awesome pioneer suit. I had dyed black hair at the time, so I looked like an emo Laura Ingells. xDD

But it was really fun, I met a lot of cool people. The only time I didn't like it was during the state fair, all the people who came through weren't really interested in the history and all I did was activate some animatronics (the animatronics were only out during the fair, the rest of the year I got to talk).

I'm a waitress at Johnny Rockets. I've been there for a year and a half. I've been the to-go/hostess and this summer is when I started serving. I love it there. I've been there so long that most of the people feel like family.

 

[SBubba18]

I work at Fitworks Fitness Center. It's a gym here in Ohio and some other places too. I get paid $7.30 an hour and plus a free membership! My family get dicount memberships. This is my first job ever and I have been there for 19 months. I really like it and I am not planning on quitting anytime soon.

 

[Babyjustrun]

I'm a supervisor at the Bulk Barn, which is Canada's largest bulk food retailer.
I love the people I work with, I don't really dislike any of them.
The customers however, I could do without.

 

[kelly7ak]

My work-study job is with the university. I have also worked summers for the BLM.

 

[all night long]

i had a part time job at bank of america for a lil while but i quit. now my friends and i started our own company. its legit and everything but we're not really doing anything with it.

 

[::Snow_White::]

I had a job at a fast food place but I quit because I didn't like it at all and by the time the first week of school was over I was miserable. I already had so much work.

I'll be okay when I can find a job I love.
I volunteer a lot for school clubs though. Just today my friends and I made smoothies for some afterschool kids.

 

[retrodactyl]

I've been working over two years at a seafood restaurant. I don't like that they make me cook most of the time, but I get to work with a lot of my friends who have also worked there about as long as I have.

 

[m!ssemmx0]

i'm only 15, so i'm not really old enough to work at most places. but i really feel like i'm too old to be asking my parents for money, so when i turn 16 i really want some kind of job.

 

[PigletGurl]

No, I can't work, I have fibromyalgia.

 

[m!ssemmx0]

No, I can't work, I have fibromyalgia.

i probably won't be able to work anywhere either.

 

[belledreamer]

Mainly, I'm a Cashier at a grocery store. I. HATE. MY. JOB. 'nuff said

But I also do a seperate stock job for a friend at a few grocery stores every Saturday. That job, I absolutely love! I can wear what I want, take as long as I want and as long of a break as I want, listen to my iPod, and whenever I absolutely can't (which isn't too often) my boss is willing to do my route for me. Best job ever!

 

[WDWtraveler27]

yes I work for my dad, i help him around the office and I get paid...but all my money goes into my retirement savings or something

 

[chisnpeke]

From mid April to early November I work at an amusement park in admissions (selling tickets, processing season passes, collecting parking money, turnstiles) and I like the people I work with. Management sucks though. I could write a book (and might!!) from all of the stupid people I have dealt with at this place wanting their money refunded or yelling at me for something I can't control.

 

[princess.chell]

I work at Jamba Juice three days a week during the school year and basically full time during the summer. I've been there since my store opened, about 19 months now. I love some of the people there, mostly the two other girls that have been there from day 1. We all get along pretty well; I just don't like some people there. I'm not thrilled with my job, or the pay ($8.60/hour) but its the only place I can find that will pay me that much and give me the flexibility in my schedule. But that's probably because I have the most seniority (despite being the youngest )
I also intern twice a week for a local photographer. I get paid for one day. It's a lot of fun, so much better than working the Juice. The experience is more of what counts over the pay for me.
I volunteer once a week at an after school care near my house. That's a lot of fun too. The kids are really cute (k-3). I'm going to be sad when the school year is over...

Hopefully I'll get a second internship soon because the one I have now is going to end soon because she stops shooting in a few weeks. Meaning we finish up the people she shot and then she's done till spring so she won't need me till then.
I'm also hoping for a second job this summer, a manager at a local Little League food stand. My friend worked there this summer and said she could probably get me a job there too. It pays $14/hour...yah I'll sell food to little kids for $14/hour!
