I'd thought I'd give this a shot to get ideas for the everlasting job hunt...

I do hold a mall job at a jewelry store, but the hours aren't stable soo I've started looking for a second job.

During my high~school days, I worked at a flea market from age 16 to 18.
Left because hours were only available on the weekends.
Sold food, sold kitchen appliances, sold art.
I also dabble with eBay :)

Anyways, where do you work?

I work in an office, the back office of a mid-size bank, with a bunch of old women. Every three days they have another grandchild and haul a pile of pictures out to show me. Every morning I consider jumping out the window rather than coming here.

i work the front desk at a tattoo shop. this is maybe the 2nd job i've ever had that i can truly say i love. the pay isn't bad, and they let me leave for tour whenever i want. the hours kinda suck, it's 10:30am - 9:00pm 5 days a week, but oh well.

Aww :(
Haha, don't do that!
I've been told that I should look into being a bank teller.
The old people I used to serve would always mumble about jesus & ask for maggot infested, soft~serve ice cream.

I've been a Bowling Alley Mechanic in Orlando for awhile, I haven't actually worked there in awhile since I moved but I'll get random calls to drive down and fix major problems. pays great and they give me a key to the place so there have been plenty 4am free bowling/pool/beer nights

mainly for money I do freelance video/audio works, worked on a Domino's tournament for ESPN Deportes last week but mainly this summer I'm working with Nickelodeon for the new Guts.

most of my free time goes into editing/filming for National Underground, Mackenzie pays me in high-fives and tapes, best job I have

Danny, forgive me for laughing at your misfortune but your post was hilarious.

Unfortunately I've run through too many fields only to realize that a college degree is the best for my situation. Plumber, mechanic, computer/network repair, fire/security/surveillance systems, sales of questionable legalities...all that led to a realization that I couldn't give my kid the life he deserves. I'm a bigtime math and physics nerd so I ended up back in college in civil engineering. I love it. It took me 10 years to realize it so don't stress if you're still undecided.

True.
Everything around here is just accepting applications or not hiring at all.
I need to start saving up for school & rent.

Don't be a teller, seriously. You know how anal people get about money? Imagine you're the representative for the company that's been charging them fifty bucks each time they didn't have two dollars to cover an ATM fee or something irritating like that. I was a teller for years, and eventually it got to the point where I was sitting behind the line, grinding my teeth, because I hated the customers so much.
