A buddy of mine works on the roads out there for a private contractor. He has been getting rained out a lot lately but still gets 8 on those days. Now when the weather is good, he works 12-14s. Dont know if you wanna work that much as I think you said that you were a student but if you want a contact number let me know.

Ya I'll take a number... I'd be willing to work ~30hrs a week. Do you know if I need to have any experience? I appreciate it

Deerhunter... I dont think I coudl wait tables. I've thought about it, but it seems like the "start up/training" time is too long IMO.

What is your major? I say look into something that deals with your major. Get a job in it even if you are a helper or something. That way when you graduate you have that on your resume.

My major is marketing. Kind of hard to find a good paying job that is taken IMO.
Im pretty open on the job. I make 10-15 an hr where I work right now. Usually I bank, but the weather is killer.

The company I work for may be looking for some more help. We refurbish small and large twin aircraft. New paint and interiors. We need some more help with the detail work after they are painted. Were in need of a good detail guy who can sand out trash and buffing out the sanding marks. Mostly 1500-2000grit. Also doing the final touch ups around the stripes. When not detailing, mainly general help around the shop cleaning, masking airplanes for paint, unmasking, etc...Hours are from 7am-4pm M-F...Work is at the San Marcos airport..

Come by and see the boss..Can't hurt. They pay pretty good..Its called Tejas Aeroservices. Were are at the airport off HWY 21 next to Gary Job corps. 2275 airport drive. As you come in the airport just follow the road. As the road come up to the white FBO building it vers to the right along a fence. Follow it all the way to the end where there is a stop sign. Look over to your right you will see a hanger with 15ft exhuast stacks coming out of the top. Thats us. We are the very last building on the feild. If you can't find us just stop and ask someone on the feild. They all know us... Tell Mike or Pam(owners) that Chris told you they might be hiring...
