Anyone wanna hook up a 16 year old with a job?

[irwin]

I'm serious here. I need some cash. Does anyone know where I could work as a bagboy or a gopher? As long as I don't have to scrub toilets, I'm cool with whatever is thrown at me.

i got a 4.0 in 6th grade :D
never got detention :D
im not super tall or super short

yeah i think that resume will do. later

[EDIT] Also, i can type around 80-110 wpm :D

stay away from sears...

read my post in Suckage

grocery stores are always good
nad another place if got a drivers license is a local law firm or accountant
they pay good for gofers.
youll be running stuff across town, getting lunches, just basically running non-stop errands

full serv gas stations are also a good place

and deliever pizza if you got a car

those are my suggestions

I worked for the USDA when I was 16. It was fun except for the commute - my friend Greg and I did three hours of work in each 8-hour day and still got far more accomplished than almost anybody else in our division, it being the federal govt and all.

Law firms are good, too, although filing and faxing does get BORING.

hehe i have this "x"-a displacment syndrome when i type

i always switch around the a and what ever letter accompinies it if they are the first two letters in a word

all the same....don't a lot of places prefer drivers over 18?

Fast food if you don't mind flipping burgers or putting on a paper hat. Even at minimum wage you can still earn a lot of extra cash if you work enough.
What is minimum wage nowadays anyways?

[m0j0]

with fast food, there is a good chance he would have to scrub toilets. which is not the end of the world...so if he is picky, i wonder what's up

[eSDee]

Thats true Mojo. I seem to remember at Mickey D's that they have a few categories of workers, which they hire seperately. When I worked there like 10 years ago it was grill, cashier, sanitation. IT was a long time ago but if you were hired into grill back then, you stayed grill and never did the other job. I guess so you wouldn't get shit from your hands onto the burgers. Literally. :)
Like I said, long time ago, but perhaps still a possibility. Flipping burgers isn't that bad either.

[styleee]

why don't you try compusa? my brother started working there when he was 16, and now, three years later, he still works there. but, he makes like $15/ hr. (that bastard!;) )

i think he did upgrades when he first started, not regular sales, so it wasn't so bad.

:)

[ironchef]

if you're heading toward the food industry, avoid fast food and go for the local restaurants. they'll pay you more, you'll learn to actually cook and when you make nice with the boss, you get comped some nice stuff :)

[m0j0]

plus tips ;)

[OC]

I'd look into grocery stores and such. Those lower positions usually have a high turnover rate which means there are frequent openings. I also worked at Dominos Pizza as a driver when I was 18-19 and made some serious bankage, and minimum wage was much lower then.

How badly do you need cash? And how much time do you have?

If you're looking for a summer job that pays out of this world and is totally poo-ey, check out your local fish-packers. Pretty serious hours and money, but you smell like...well, you smell like fish. I'm sure many of you are, as I speak, inserting all manner of disgusting similes in that last sentence.

[revil]

Work for an evil empire. They pay great, but you have to deal with the whole conscious thing. If you don't have one, like me, then you have a great job.

I hear the mafia is also good.

[m0j0]

i was about to say that, myself. in fact, next time i am outta town, i need some "work" done that may find me to be a prime suspect ;) . if i am outta town, it wasn't me <wink, wink..nudge, nudge> ;)

[cruelpupet]

passwird, I strongly suggest you stay away from jobs with food. It tends to be greasy, and at your age you have to worry about acne.

Stylee had a good suggestion (CompUSA), and I would alos suggest checkign out your local RadioShacks (they start at like $10 an hour I believe)

[mahalo]

Department stores. Maybe sales, but probably as a stock person. Pays decent, and great discounts on clothes.

Or sell drugs????

[Chinpoko_Mon]

call your local newspaper and run your own paper route... =P

[sbp]

How do you look in a dress? http://www.geocities.com/sbp7777/biggrinpimp.x

[irwin]

Hey thanks for the suggestions anyone, but I was hoping one of you actually owned a business and could hire me :) But ok, I'll check out Comp Usa.

[cruelpupet]

what area do you live in passwird...its kina hard to actually offer you a job if we dont know where you live

[irwin]

Oh yeah huh :D

I live in San Mateo, CA but I'll travel 15-20 miles for work.

[m0j0]

not worth it

[Hopper1]

yeah and i need a paid internship in mechanical or manufacturing engineering. need to make money to pay for school and not have to do anything(*ahem* or anybody ). if you have something that fits that description send it my way. ;)

[Twilight]

Paper routes do pay a LOT, but you gotta get up early :-(
If you want some temporary, off/on work you decide your own schedule for then consider putting an ad in the paper advertising that you'll do yardwork, lawnmowing, pet sitting, kid sitting, dog walking, etc. You can set your own rates and decide when you wanna take on the jobs.

[Ice-9]

Well, you're about 30 miles away from me in Berkeley, but if you really want a well-paying job, and aren't too troubled by scruples (i.e. don't mind illegal activity), I'll set you up working for a rave promoter. :D You'll probably make what works out to about $15-25 an hour, you don't have to do that much - mainly driving around to drop off tickets, scout locations, etc.

But I'm not really serious. Go get a normal job.

[m0j0]

dude! apply at a coffee place! that is kinda classy in and of itself :cool:

[irwin]

Hey I'm still unemployed. Not cool.

I don't have too much money any more. I opted to buy that vacuum sealer sucker dealy. (BTW, it's really cool :))

I need a job to get some money :P

I should stop being such a lazy ass. I should be looking for the jobs instead of waiting for the jobs to look for me. Wow, look at me insult myself :D

[cruelpupet]

yeah you are lazy, I hosted your pics, and you still havnt posted them in the "Who Posts here???" thread

[Ice-9]

So why don't you get a job at Best Buy? That would be a dream come true for me. I'd be poor as hell all the time because I'd be blowin away my paychecks...Umm, never mind. That's a bad job to have.

[irwin]

I don't wanna work there cuz I'd rather work in a cubicle type place. I just wanna work in my own privacy and stuff like like that. I hope I don't sound weird :P

[coleslaw]

A cube is a prison!!! AHHHH!!! Let me out!!! NOOO!!!

[Ice-9]

BEA Systems in SF. Cool place, right in the middle of the financial district. They're secure enough in their market position that this economic downturn hasn't really hurt them. Think they just filled the last available position today, though. Sorry!

[eSDee]

Passwird, drive down to SD and wash my car. I'll give you 5 bucks. :)

I would rather listen to my parents' broken english than wash your sorry car. :P

That sucks man capping on your parents like that. Don't forget who pays for your cable modem, son.

[BrewMaster]

When I was 16 I started working as a teller at BofA. Pay was great and lot of bonuses. Try getting a job as a teller if you ike workin with money.

You might want to try BestBuy too.

sorry for what? betta be careful....it may be sorry for backin over your arse when it sees you.

[i6s1]

Well, I just got myself a summer job. I start in a month, at $15/hour. At a brewery, no less. I get 2 free flats per month, and for every 10 recipts I get from friends who buy their beer, I get a free case.

[BigJon]

Do you have an Alliance Data Systems where you live? The ones here hire high school age, pay about $8-$10 per hour, and you work in a cubicle (or at least at your own desk). The jobs range from telemarketing to opening accounts and entering data. All the kids at my high school got jobs there.

This kid is pretty damn funny! Speaking of kids-who kidnapped Paladin? Haven't seen any of his words of wisdom in ages.

[irwin]

Alright, I've tried and failed so far. I tried applying at Barnes and Noble; no call back. Oreck Vacuums (:D); no call back. Inside this envelope is an application to be an office assistant at the San Carlos City Hall. It's $10.50/hour so I hope I get it. Wish me luck, damnit! :)

You will have to forgive my geography of California, but if there is a base near you, you can apply at the stores on base that start above min wage. Also they have summer jobs for kids making $10+ an hour.

"on base"? Is that a store? Or a term? :eek3:

[eSDee]

"on base" meaning on a military base I assume.

Hmm, there's Moffett Field. But I think that's owned by NASA now and there's no stores there. :(

Yeah, sorry. It is common for me to say "on base" and have people around me know what I am talking about. Forgot about you civies out there :)

If you see a military uniform, there most likely is an Aafes on base (kinda like a Walmart).

I believe his monetary interest had something to do with Money Laundering...

Anyway, PayPal is paying me $50 to chat with them. I volunteered your name Passwird, but they said they already had all the people picked out.

[attgig]

when i was in HS, i did a lot of tutoring...and man was I loaded =P

I got like 15-20 bucks an hour, for just telling the kids to read, and answer questions, and grading =P
HA!
I've actually fallen asleep while waiting for these kids too! I'm such a punk

Sigh...I miss shopping at AAFES. Cheap stuff rules. Follow it up with a hamburger meat burrito at the token crappy taco stand, and call it a day! :)
