Hey guys, I currently work at a restraunt bussing tables and I'm complely sick of it and entirely sick of how my boss treats his employees...so I'm job hunting before I can give bussing the boot.

I already did a year at a supermarket for rule that out.

I want something relatively chill, after school hours, and decent pay.(expecting a pay cut of some sort because the restaraunt could come up big for me) Plus a little flexible schedule with a hectic senior year. I also want to stay out of the food industry for a little.

I'm thinking retail of some sort....but theres gotta be something else too

Can you guys brainstorm any cool side jobs for a 17 year old highschool senior? An independent place would be way cooler too, because cooporate chains kind of blow. What are some cool jobs?!

im not sure about where you live but my city has got a parks and recreation division. in the winter they are in desperate need of people to salt sidewalks and neighbourhood paths. they pay like $17.50 an hour.

If you have an industrial park where you live and you have a means of transportation. nthey are almost always looking for people there, but youd work weekends 12 hrs a day. not the best if you want to ski. For school man, you cant beat the resturant industry, the hours are prime, and there is usually enough people working at a resturant you can get days off pretty easy.

I think you might be right...or for at least the one near here.

Anddd...Best Buy does random drug testing of employess...among other reasons I don't like that ideology.

If you are willing to be a salesman type of guy, you can make SO MUCH MONEY working at a place like Nordstrom's where you sell expensive stuff on commission. My friend (granted, he IS gay) made 11 bucks an hour plus literally at least a hundred in commission every day he worked.

get a job working for the government. since youre not working for a profit there is less drive to do stuff, and most of thier jobs are pretty easy. i would reccommend the parks dept. i work there, and its almost always super easy especially on days with bad weather when youd be doing nothing anyways. if you dont like that, try working for a bike/ski shop or at your mountain. otherwise, work at a nice hotel/resort as a maid, cause they get to keep everything they find. i knew a guy who worked as a maid, and didnt have to buy groceries all winter.
