i work at a deli as a line cook making sandwiches and salads and do all other kitchen sorts of things. ive worked ther for almost 4 years, but i do enjoy it, i like everyone i work with my managers love me cuz i've been at the store longer than them so i can get away with mad shit like roasting bowls out by the dumpster and they just laugh at me because they know i work better high.

gotta say tho most kids with summer jobs dont enjoy what they do, your not supposed to, your making minimum wage or close to it, just gotta get the guap so i can support my drug and alcohol habits during the school year.

Currently employed one day a week, teaching little kids how to golf, every tuesday from 7am-11am. Making 10$ an hour, not bad work, super easy yada yada yada. Well, I usually work landscaping for like 20$ an hour in cash, best way to make money, your outside, can work whenever you want to, and usually the people give you a break whenever you need it. I usually just scrounge for money, sell stuff I don't need to people, and keep all my change throughout the year, once a year go to the bank and get like 200$.

I doubt that is true, really what you meen is there are no jobs that pay enough money for you to live, cus I am sure you could get a minimum wage job. If you are willing to work graveyard shifts and shit.

im a daycare teacher...i take care of 9 two year olds all day! i love it most days, when they listen, which is most the time, fridays usually suck because i have no patience left....but its not soo bad. its a very rewarding job, my kids are always amazing me. from the things they come up with, the questions they ask, or the things they repeat...like when im asking them to be quiet and none of them listen and then one of them yells....shut the f*** up! thats priceless....and no i did not teach them that...thats all their parents! haha

HA! That sucks, lifeguarding looks fun until you get up on that stand thing and just stare into the pool while the sun bakes you alive

i'm working as a camp counselor and it starts tomorrow but this is my third year working at the same camp. i like it i guess. 1.50 over min wage and kids keep things interesting but patience is key. i've had ups and downs on the job but getting paid to play games and do art projects and talent shows or whatnot with kids doesn't usually get boring and parents usually leave some nice tips at the end

im a lifeguard and i fucking love it most of the time. the actual work sucks balls, and when real shit goes down it can be scary as fuck afterwards but the people i work with are awesome. i think any job can be good as long as u have good coworkers.
