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.

Re: First Jobs
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.

Re: First Jobs
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.

Re: First Jobs
^^^^ i laughed my *** 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 *** 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. >
