well...if you looked all over and couldnt find a job...you probably didnt look very hard, look in the right places, or even look at all...

back on topic..... find the phone numbers of all golf clubs around you.... call everyone of them and ask if they have a "caddie" program.... if they say yes ask for more information....

"caddie"- hauls either 1 or 2 golf bags around for 18 holes

$$$ I was making about $1200 a week cash if you work reallllly hard Good Luck its really easy..

Agreed. Work for the Government. I work for NIST in MD and I dont really do anything. I too got my own desk and computer, which I use to do HW or go on SL.

Pay is great too, especially getting paid on Federal Holidays

Oh yeah, and it looks good on your resume.

If you are talking about a place to work while in college-get a job on campus-it's close and they usually work around schedules pretty well.

I did work study and regular campus jobs, everything from dish-dog (actually one of the better jobs I had-easy, and doesn't take brain power away from studies-plus it was the cafeteria on the girls dorm so I met a lot of girls) to working in the campus museum (got to do homework while sitting there) to doing fruit gathering data for a professor tracking the cost and quailty of fruit based on the season (that was a cake job and paid pretty well plus set my own schedule), worked in bicycle shops, dick worker at a department store (also a good job), pizza places, bouncer (a really good way to meet girls and there are some cool kickbacks-I think you can work there if yoy are under 21 too-depends-you just can't serve alcohol))

Get something applicable to your major and you have foot in the door posssibily when you graduate.

I would also say work on campus, they will only give you so many hours to work according to the classes and the studying time that you should be doing. Or go to the career center of your school and see what jobs they have posted. It works for me like 90% of the time

Right now for retail its sort of the dead time but closer to summer they will be hiring for spots To get in BestBuy you basically have to know someone in there to even get looked at, I know trust me lol.

Try craigslist. Seriously. Thats how I got my current job

work at the bank, some will even pay for ur college textbooks. you can also try looking for a afterschool tutoring thing, it pays like $11-15/hr

the bank is a good idea. i worked part time as a teller while in college knowing that i'm already employed by a great company. it was easy to make the transition from retail banking to investment banking. that was over ten years ago and now i'm an officer at a top five brokerage firm.

if that's what you want to do...
