[The Postman]

[Echo_djinn]

[Linear]

[Meglo]

Er...mow my law?

[Lightning Star]

anywhoo. yah i don't work. my first job will probably be at walgreens since i can ride my bike to the store easily.

[Echo_djinn]

Heh I've heard that a paper route job is pretty tough and you have to get up quiet early on a weekend and deliver paper all over your neighbourhood. I can only wake up at 8:15am :huh: no later

[Linear]

Even though I dont work, I just help out in Frys, but that's all. :P But I do get a few stuff for free once in a while...

[The Postman]

WE don't even have Frys Electronics over here I think...
Anyways, I also teach martial arts. Loads of fun sometimes, though it's also hell sometimes...

[Echo_djinn]

I never heard of frys electronics ether...Hmm is it like Best Buy? Anyways has anyone ever worked for best buy I hear you get discounts from there store. That would be great..:wub:

[Someone Else]

We have a Frys Electronics in my town, but there are always too many people. :)

I don't have a job, as I'm only 13, but I am, however, intrested in Wildlife Photography, don't think I can do it? View my sig and go to my art topic.Everyone thinks I have potential. <_<

God, do I advertise or what? XD

[Elliott]

kandy man, you're 14. I VERY highly doubt you are a "third manager" (whatever the hell that is) at a, 'restrant'. (learn to spell ;) ).

I work at KFC, and have for over 1 year now. Hopefully next your I'll get a better job though.

Learn some manners, would you? ;)

I'm hoping that the new shopping area down in the district has a card store that I can work at. Maybe if I can hold out until May will I be able to work there (I need to get a car, damnit!).

[Elliott]

And you tell me to have manners?
Read a few of his posts first, and then try and tell me to have manners ok?

Learn well by your mistakes. *points to the quote from his post*

Also, that was rather off-topic, so I'm not gonna let you go on that. And yes, you should learn some manners, because respect for other members is a large part of it.

Anyway, really, I need to work someplace. My friend tells me to work down at Giant Eagle, but I heard the pay sucks as well.

[Sea of Time]

Hey, I have a job, lol.

I'm a carrier for a local newspaper.

I'm just rolling in the dough. *sarcasm*

[My Best Wishes]

where should i get my next job? my sis worked at mac donalds got $9.33 an hour, not bad pay but not sure where to apply, any ideas?

[Elliott]

Not KFC...
Macca's is good. I was gonna work there, but silly me chose KFC instead.

[Illidan]

I don't have one yet but I'm planning to get a job as a graphics designer soon enough.

[Tachyon360]

Agatio, I hope you know that child labor laws don't apply to businesses owned by immediate family (not to mention, the limit set by the US government is 14 years, though individual states can and do increase the age). He could very well be a manager in that restaurant if his family owns it.

BTW, Illidan, graphics design doesn't pay. There are just too many graphics designers out there. You'd have to be a top-notch designer to hope to have enough money out of it to call it a career.

[Elliott]

I still very very highly doubt it. I mean, he's 14, posts like a 6 year old. He can't even spell restaurant for goodness sakes. How can he be a "third manager" at one?

[Echo_djinn]

Meh his dad, mom or one of his relatives could help him while he is working in his family's restaurant. Though I do agree with you that it is highly unlikely.

[Tachyon360]

I'm not saying he does work as a manager. In fact, I agree with you, Agatio. I was just pointing out it's not impossible.

[Elliott]

Ok, not impossible, but highly unlikely. Anyway, moving on from that,
Anyone comfortable saying their wage?
Mine is pitiful, $6.50 AUD this year. But as of January 1 2005, I will be on $8.02 AUD, yay, big increase!!!
*cough*

Ok Is the $6.50 a student wage for you? Iam getting $7.15. No big difference meh its a start.

[Elliott]

They wage is based on our current year level. I am in year 10 casual, getting 6.50, next year I will be in year 11 casual, getting 8.02. Hope that clears it up.

[The Postman]

Lifeguard : 8.67 (next year is over 9 though)
Martial arts : 10.00 (once a week though)

[My Best Wishes]

paperthingy, right now for about 3-3 1/2 hours of work about 40 a week.so about 10 an hour.

[Nemphtis]

I work in 3 different places, all owned by people in my family. I work in my Dads Liquer Store (Off-License for us Brits) on Saturdays. Weekdays I handle documents and write out letters etc. for my Step Dad's various business'. On Sunday's I work at one of my Step Dad's "Collin's" production factory, I organise where the products will be shipped. For those of you who don't know their clothes labels, Collin's is a pretty popular Jeans label. ;)

Actually, there are quite a few people who are intersted in graphic design down here Illidian. And to get a job as a graphics designer that pays, well. You would have to be exceptionally good.

There are plenty of really good people out there. The only ones that make enough to call it a career are actually those that went to art colleges with a different career on mind. Most of them also do much more than just graphics design. Even then, most of the best don't make enough to support a family, so they either wind up taking a different (though related) job or stay single.

Trust me, only an idiot would aim for graphics design as a career.

Well I'm really interested in graphics design. I'm not in it for the money really, it's just because well... I enjoy doing it. ^_~

I was planning to be a software designer when I grow up, like my mom. o.o

[Mallick]

I'm hoping to get a job in the next year or two for the summer, yes I know I am eleven, but I have to make some money some how. >_> No. I'm not going to mow your lawn for five dollars.

There are no child labor laws here, so I could get a job. Probably working at t3h arcade. I know how to fix their machines. They ask me to regularly, when I'm there. I should make a profit from it.

[Silo STATIC]

I think I've stated this before, but I wanna start out working as a behind-the-counter employee at a cards & collectibles store. You know, the small ones where--if there isn't much business going around--you get to hang around with your boss and/or co-workers and play Magic or Yu-Gi-Oh!, etc.

I do hope that there'll be a card store around when that new mini shopping center is finished down in the school district. Maybe the one from the former Highlands Mall will move down there, so I can apply for a job.

[Elliott]

Been a good couple of years since this been posted in, but people's circumstances have no doubt changed since.

Anyway, I got a new job today, after a couple of months of looking / interviews / applications. It's much better than where I currently work (casual at the local KFC) in terms of working conditions and pay. It's also located in the heart of the city, which makes it pretty easy to get to, and it's close to just about every kind of shop I can imagine.

Anyway, like the title asks, does anyone else here work or have you found something since last time you posted here?

[Toasty]

Well congrats on your new job. ^_^

Even though it's still a little over a year or two away for me, I'm deffinately going to try for a job at Starbucks. We've got two in town, and I've always had a nack for makeing good coffe (and it's a lot less embarassing then working at a fast food joint like McDonalds). But if I can't get a job there, I'd probably try for Dairy Queen. It's the least active fast food joint here.

[Neo]

Since about 4 months I can call myself a Marketing Agent. I work in the telemarketing branch as salesman. But it's not something I want to do for the rest of my life. Next year I'm starting a new education called Multimedia Designer, and I'm planning to start my own company with two friends. I hope it all works out.

[Aquamarine]

Wow Neo, that sounds great! Good luck with that.

I haven't got a job, nor did I ever try to get one. In Serbia we start working later than you do in America. Technically, I could find a job, such as unloading stuff from trucks and stupid stuff like that, but I don't want to work yet. I want to enjoy my childhood, and school takes up most of my day anyway.

[Wiflewood]

I'm kinda half-arsedly looking for a job. Not that I want one, but I need some money. I'll probably get a job in a local shop in town somewhere.

I do get a bit of money for doing designs for friends bands - logos tshrits etc, but mostly thats just for fun.

[Neo]

Thanks, Aqua, I also hope it works out.

Well, here in the netherlands people usually get their first jobs around the age of 14, walking newspapers and such. Then after that people start working in the malls and other stores and some, at a somewhat later age start doing more serious jobs, like mine.

[I'm Always BROKE]

I work as a sheftfiller in the local supermarket. Not one of the greatest jobs out there, but hey atleast I get paid!

[Golden Legacy]

I work as an afterschool tutor and homework helper for students (grades 1 through 7), and afterwards teach classes in algebra and elementary mathematics to 8th graders. Twice a week (sometimes 3), 2.5 hours each day.

[Platinum Sun]

I applied at Seven different places, it's been six months and not even one of them called. Not even just to say "no". I think it's because I'm Seventeen and I've never had a job before, since my peers have been employed since they first rolled out of the cradle, I guess they assume that something is wrong with me.

[Golden Djinn13]

@ Platinum: Where do you live that you haven't got a job by now? ^_^ I know how you must feel though. As of next week, i'm gonna start applying to more places (I'll be old enough for most places on my b-day) :D

[Platinum Sun]

I don't know why where I live has anything to do with it, but I happen to live in upstate New York.

[Sea of Time]

I'm looking to get a job at Chapters, a bookstore at the local mall. Working with books is appealing, and I'll get a discount on Harry Potter 7. *thumbs up*

For me, at least, Different areas higher at different ages for reasons unknown. They could be the same exact store, but higher at different ages at seperate locations in the same county. Really annoying.

I thought about working at a Barnes & Noble (Bookstore for those that don't know), but I was too young. I hate age limitations.

[FlamingDuck]

I'll probably start working when I need to, but right now I'm fine without spending most of my day bagging groceries.

I hope to start a company at some point in my life. Quite possibly a software firm of sorts. Or mabey a game developing company. Who knows, by then, I might be designing flying cars. ^_^ But for now, I'm content wasteing my life away here.

[GangstaGeek]

I have no job, currently. I focus on school, but not too much! ^_^ At a ripe old age of 16 and currently a sophmore in high school, I plan to begin my college life two years early, starting next year. THAT will be a handfull for the next 2 years. After that, I'll probably have gotten some old junker car and fixed it up (my dad has been doing auto body for damn near 30 years. I'm covinced he can fix anything :D ). Only after school, and I have a car will I get a job. But I'm happy with my advances in the real world so far, don't you agree?

[My Best Wishes]

I started working years ago delivering papers, then I worked 6 months at KFC selling people greasy food. Then I quit because of my manager (this was last March) and that has put me of working since. But being poor isn't any better...I'm hoping to get a job at Village Cinema's next time they hire (My sister works there) or maybe as SoT suggested a bookstore, not sure if I am old enough though.

Then become a person who prepares a person for surgery. All you do is inject them with drugs, and talk to the family while they're waiting. Can't remember the name, but it pays like $350,000 a year. The average wage in the U.S. is about $35,000, so you'd be living 10 times better than the average joe.

[Split Infinity]

Taxes would make short work of that.

[Somia]

There's a Japanese Restaurant close by that I want to work at in 1 - 2 years time.

Split, it's $350,000 after taxes. What would make short work of that is insurance and bills. But even then, you'd still have a six figure income.

I work at Kumon, at learning center, for Thrusday afternoon and Saterday's morning.

I work at my mother's shop for wedsday and Friday. From after school to about 9pm.

Then I tutor a kid on Sunday for 2 hours.

:x I just figure out somthing, I earn over 300 buck per month.

Counted towards American dollars, I would make aprox. 416 USD a month. I work 12 hours per week for that, meaning I earn 8.667 USD per hour. Not bad, must I say xD...
