Its been a while... I have roughly an 11gal tank in my Saturn. Avg 30mpg. I'd fill up about once a week... sometimes a week and 1/2. but then again, i was commuting to college at the same time so its really hard to give an accurate mileage. Consider this though, even on a REALLY slow night, say a $20 tip night... it was still enough cash to fill the tank. Also, I worked at Pizza Hut and I got a $1.25 in "gas money" for every ticket no matter how far. Even if it was down the street (and yes, ppl lived down the street in walking distance and had pizza delivered) and u still get the $1.25. Just depends on the store I suppose, but gas really wasn't an issue. Spilling soda on my cloth seats was. D: ------ fountain drinks.

when i worked at dominos the drivers usually had between 40-100 miles for a 5 or 6 hour shift and they got .27 per mile but it will depend on the size of the delivery area ours was only 15 minutes in each direction

Being a salesman is douchebag work. If you're into that kind of thing do it, it's good money. I cook on a grill, ---- people.

I have bartended off and on since I was 18 (legal age in MN). It is a good job, just kiss your weekends goodbye...just have to weight the options.

It is a cool job out of college because then you have weekdays off, but if you have class 5 days and then you work 3-4 days. ---- that.

I've been a bar tender, its good fun unless you work at a busy bar. I used to work a bar that was 4 people deep from open until close. No breaks, no nothing. Used to drink about 2-3ltrs of coke just to stay with it.

Retail or catering sucks, I made all the money i needed for school by working during holidays for about $15-20/hr working office jobs as a temp.

Wow, if you've made it this far without any job, why care about the money? Do something you like.

I was a server for 4 years during college.

I loved the tips. I made upto $20 an hour and more most of the time. There were a lot of nights when I would drive home with over $200 in cash in my pocket. Do that three or four times a week and you are doing pretty well for a college kid.

My very first job was at a Pizza place making pizza. It sucked, and I got $5 an hour (this was back in '95). But I had fun because I worked with my friends, we used to do what we called "dough hits" lol. The pizza dough would raise in these big plastic bags, and as it rose the bags would fill up with some sort of gas. You could poke a hole with your finger and inhale the stuff! lol it was just like nitrous, you would get high for a minute or two.

Those were the days.

Actually, I worked there for over a year and then got fired for possesion of mushrooms. I was going to put them on my personal pizza but got busted first. I still can't figure out how my boss knew what they were when she saw them. :-\

^^^^ i laughed my ass reading that post. I work as a waiter fulltime in a hotel and its one of the worst jobs to be had. Sure sometimes you make alot of tips but there are those long busy days when you work your ass off and you dont make a red cent (last night). You get to see alot of hot women in swimsuits but its not a very rewarding job.

I may consider it as a part time job when i begin college next year in toronto, mainly because you get to talk to alot of hot women. >:D
