Summer Jobs: What would you recommend?

[NothingMoreThenTruth]

I am looking for a job this summer, and i was wondering if you any of you had suggestions.

I'm 16, but i'll be 17 later on this month, what would you recommend thats a chill job?

(Oh and i have working experience as a busser, about 6 months worth.)

[katyowns]

do you have a golf course near you? They're always hiring bag boys and grounds boys, and all of the dudes who worked at the one near me were huge potheads.

[NothingMoreThenTruth]

yeah i do have one near me, what would those jobs be like exactly? (i don't golf)

[katyowns]

just carrying guys bags, mowing lawns, most have restaurants too so if you have bussing experience try there.

[NothingMoreThenTruth]

alright ill keep that in mind

[Runaway Jim]

Caddying. Washing/detailing cars. Selling bud. Odd Jobs. Bussing tables.

[Awill3449]

Camp Counselor. It's pretty hard, but it's fun, and other counselors are also usually pretty chill.

[Oneironaut]

I would suggest either brain surgeon, international weapons smuggler, or crash test dummy.

[afghooey]

Working at a video store is chill as fuck.

The pay is shit (expect mininum wage), but the video store I worked for gave 2 free rentals a night and the work was so easy that a retarded monkey could probably be trained to do it. Perfect job if you just need a little extra cash and aren't looking for a challenge.

[big smoke07]

Sell bud and make about 200 a week by just answering a phone.


OR work long hours getting paid shit and making maybe 150-200 every 2 weeks.

thats what im doing this summer. i did it last year, and i would make it my career if i could live on minimum wage.

[afghooey]

I seriously loved working at the video store, mostly because the people I worked with were awesome. It wasn't even like work, really. Not compared to the other jobs I've had. Hell, I might pick up a second job at the local video store soon, I'm getting all nostalgic now.

The hospitality business is usually relaxed. All you have to do is check-in your guests, check them out, set wake-up calls, and bake cookies to eat! YUM-YUM chocolate chip!

[RamblerGambler]

If you don't mind running short distances, try Valeting. Depending on the company you work for, you may or may not get paid under the table.
Pros: Driving cool cars, meeting new people, smoking before work at no risk, decent tips from drunks, smoking during work, smoking after work, smoking with customers/waitstaff/you name it. For some reason, people like smoking with valets.
Cons: no respect from most customers, teenagers don't know how to tip, Overly controlling bosses

[ToDrunkToFish]

Shit well Valet depends on where you are. I did it for 2 months and I couldnt do ANYTHING. The money was TITS though. It was high class.

But I was treated as shit but if I got one it was NOICE.

I once was able to drive Chris Chelios's car a night he was drinkin. THAT. What a kick-ass tip (100$)

But I had suprise drug tests. And failed.

[187]

i work at a golf course i was dishes/carts and do all the shit work for 8 dollars. not really that great i want a job in landscaping so i can make some money.

[reality0]

im a waiter in a retirement home restaurant..

easiest job you would ever find. the old people are so nice. you can move as slow as you want. and the old people dont know what marijuana or being high is or looks like haha

plus all the chill ass kids who work there

[slipknotpsycho]

personal masturbation assistant for the elderly affected by carpal tunnel... :thumbsup:

[BabyFacedAbortion]

I'm working at Michael's (craft store) soon. Find strip malls...clothing stores, gas stations, ice cream places, ect..

[JohnGalt]

If you can kiss ass, CADDY (as mentioned above)!! Thats what I do. It's not a very stable job, but when you do work, say hello to anywhere from $5-$100 AN HOUR. If you get the opportunity to carry two bags, do it. I made 25 bucks last weekend from a guy who just did 7 holes, and it took him an hour. However, expect to not get out much (which means less money) and possible firing if you can't kiss the ass of the proshop owner, golfers, and the caddie master. But it's pretty fucking sweet. Make your own hours. The perfect job for a teen like me who can't drive yet and doesn't like commitment.

Another plus is there aren't any drug tests (at least not for any of the places my dad, brother or I have worked)

[partyguy420]

do you have any hay feilds near by... bucking hay is a good job if your strong enough to throw hay bails around all day... they pay 1 dollar for every bail you load on to the trailer about 100 bails a day... and by the end of the summer youll be strong as fuck...

[higher4hockey]

sell drugs, go to jail~ great advice :rolleyes:

[thcbongman]

If I 16 again, I would work at an amusement park. Dude, that's gotta be a cool job, some of them, like operating the roller coaster.

Receptionists make way more than that!

[delusionsofNORMALity]

these might be a bit out of reach (maybe next summer). instead i would suggest tug boat captain, pond scum skimmer, or politician.

[Nice Dreamz]

Lifeguard at your local community center pool, if your pool has a position called "water Safety" do that. there is no responsibility on your part for anything, you dont have to work hard, community centers dont drug test. hell when i did this last year they said that if somone is drowning it isnt even your responsibility, just whistle for someone else to do it. lifeguarding is harder and u have responsibility but u get paid more

[suhl]

it all blows. something where you can smoke on the job would be ideal. one time i worked with this kid who said he used to work maintenance at a water park and he said they just wandered around the park all lday without any supervision. but he got paid squat. unless you get lucky you are going to have a bullshit job.oh yeah but i can say a job with no responsibilty is not nearly as nice as it sounds. yeah its cool, i get paid and dont really have to work for it. then comes the first day where you do nothing for 6 hours and truly see how slow time can crawl.

[cambam]

Gardening, without a doubt.

[stinkyattic]

It's a little late in the year but if any local landscaping firms are still hiring laborers, do that.
It's hard work, and hot, but you'll get paid what you;re worth and get in the best shape of your life. And driving a zero-turn mower is fun shit... especially if your boss is like my ex and took the governor off... I swear I had an exmark up to 40 mph... hahahahaha

also another thing to be added to this... if you only make 200 a week by slangin' you need to put down the scales... when my homies first gave me some weed to sell... i was making atleast 1000 dollars a week... and at the prime of my sellin' life i was making that much in a day...

[Reefer Rogue]

Get a job you'll enjoy and get you perks.

I would have to tie down my penis to work at a water park. One fantasy of those foxy ladies running around in their string-bikinis (Thanks, Brazil) is all it takes. I can smell it now! What is that?! Anyway.
A job is work and you do it because you need to. So wherever you end up, remember to respect the obligations you will sign to upon hiring. Most people have better work-ethic than myself anyway...still good advice, though. I know because if I listened to my own advice I would be baked right now.

[Skink]

chemical engineer,,,you would get like 30 dollars an hour...

Or use an arab strap instead!

can i do that at 15? and where would i apply to that

[EternalOverdose]

Hey what are some decent jobs i could find at 15, actually it doesnt have to be descent', its my first job i wanna be worked hard

[thcbongman]

Work in home improvement. You can walk off learning some good skills, carpentry, painting, etc. There's no age limit, just find a crew willing to teach a young person some tricks.

[EternalOverdose]

how would i find a job like that though',, nobody would wznt to hire a newb

[thcbongman]

This is where you learn the skill everyone needs in life: selling yourself.

It isn't true that no one would hire a newbie. There's businesses, and people that want to keep costs down. Rather than hire someone with experience who'd demand more pay, you hire someone with no or little experience, train them, have them grow under their watch.

You go up to them and ask if they have a job. Give eye contact, a firm handshake, sound like you work hard, show eagarness to learn new skills, and most of all, have confidence in yourself.

Not everyone will hire you, but if you bring on that swagger, someone will give you a chance. It's how you present yourself.

Yeah. Don't go to an interview in your everyday Dickies and T-Shirt and expect to get a job, although I have gotten lucky before...

[EternalOverdose]

thats good advice, and i think that would be the absolute perfect job for me, cuz i have so much experience in that field from working around my house. my family is the kind that never hires anybody', we always do the job ourselves.
im a little slow posting cuz im posting from my nintendo wii :P YEA!:cool:

[EternalOverdose]

Yeah. Don't go to an interview in your everyday Dickies and T-Shirt and expect to get a job, although I have gotten lucky before...

[Runaway Jim]

Lesson #2. It's okay to ask questions. Don't be afraid despite what people say.

yeah but it would have been more appropriate to ask in one post rather than 7 different posts and all those annoying ass different colors, kinda post whoring...

Touche.

[Nice Dreamz]

To work at the pool you only have to be 14 for safety, 15 for lifeguards. you get your lessons for about a couple days before opening day and thats it.

[EternalOverdose]

theres one being built near me, but it will take a couple years to finish the nursing home, but hey that would b the best time to apply

[EternalOverdose]

hmm ill look into it NICEDREAMZ and ur g/f will prob tell u to put the weed in ur ass:thumbsup:

[Nice Dreamz]
