The search isn't working for me, so I don't know if this is a repeat.


Anyways, it's summer, and everyone wants to get cash to get something or do something. And what's needed? A ****ing job, that's right.

I'm to young to get a workers permit, but since my dad owns a business, I can legally work at his place. I'm either going to lug boxes around in the back, or advertise his products online and beta test them.

If I'm productive I can get around $10-$12 an hour, which is great for my first job.


Talk about your summer jobs.

Me and Aquamina are working together on an Ebay business, and I'm planning on getting a job at a thrift store.

I'm trying to get a job at Subway or Gamestop as they are the only places in this town of mine not infested with rednecks and retards.

I got an internship again where I worked last year. They still are going to pay me $10 an hour, which is good by my standards.

They expect 9 to 5 each day, which is 40 hours per weak (maximum hours allowed for my age). I start monday, so I don't know how easy/hard it's going to be.

It's either a job, charity at a church, or summer camp.

I'm trying to get a job at a nearby Kroger.

There's not many places nearby that are hiring.. I might go to the outlet mall this saturday and see what's there. It's mostly clothing stores, so I might apply at one of those, but realistically I'd have to think that most of the kids in my grade are applying there. Same with the coffee shop nearby.

There are a few banks and insurance agencies that are only about 10 minutes away from here.. I type at around 100-120 words per minute, so I might be able to land a data input job. Especially since my mom knows the manager of a State Farm nearby.

The places I'd really actually like to work are too far away, I'd be making just enough money to cover gasoline, which isn't worth it.

I have a summer research internship here at PSU. I've been at it since May. It's quite enjoyable.

That's a terrible salary unless you're either 13 or younger, you're only going to work a couple days of the week, or both of the above.

Unfortunately you have to be 16 to get a workers permit here, and I turn 16 in August so I guess I'm not going to do anything during the summer. I'm probably just going to focus on getting my drivers permit.
