First Jobs
 

I'm a college student and I've been looking for a part time job.

My room mate is a server at applebees and with tips probably pulls about $15 a hour.. I was thinking maybe a Dennys or something of the sort.

Any other good places to work that don't suck and also help out by giving you tips?

Stay away from food service and retail if you can. Try and find something in your career field. It will take a little extra research and effort, but will give you a huge leg up when you enter the career field after graduating. Some companies even do an internship type of deal where you can work during the week when not attending classes, leaving your weekends free for banging the local talent.

tips are nice but they usually mean you have to work weekends. i would look for an on campus job depending on what year you are you might be able to get a decent paying job. most the jobs at my college are just stupid desk jobs that pay ---- but there some reseach assistant jobs that pay between 12-18 an hour. and i will vouch that the food sevice sucks and i would stay as far away as possible

If you become a waiter don't be an ass, I still give 15% tip to bad waiters, and if they're good i've been known to give up to 40% tip. One dude only had us as a table and got a $10 tip from me, for 20% it wouldve been like $6 but he was awesome.

In my case, tough to have gotten a job in the Political arena while still attending classes. Internships is about all you can do for that.


Something in your career field would be nice, but that might be hard to find.

Otherwise just find something that you have experience doing, is close to you, pays well enough and you can stand doing for a little while.

same here, where my college is you cant find a job in your field. They find out your a college student and you will be out digging ditches making 50% less than the people you work with
