Worked at a huge local video store that had a music section, books, coffee bar and tanning beds all in one. Kinda like a borders with tanning beds, there was fine women everywhere...I miss that job. Waiting tables is definately a good way to make some cash, did that through college.

my first job was working on tile roofs, was hard *** work,but got paid 15/hr starting.
just recently had to quit another contractor job building homes in the friendswood area $8/hr wasnt too bad, but it was no $15/hr

Now I sell knives while goin to school, but will be quiting soon because my grades are starting to suffer. I am considering changing my schedule and becoming a mail man or a ups worker. I hear either one pays pretty good.

I work at a shirt distribution warehouse,(Alpha shirt co.) I think its pretty easy to get a warehouse job, I got promoted and I make 8.50 now. its pretty easy work but the summer is hell with no AC, its also M-F which is both good and bad (stressful week for a student). Im thinking about quitting pretty soon and finding another job, maybe a bartender. I heard about a "porter" before, it sounds pretty cool, or maybe doing something with cars. I hear bartenders make some good tip money and it seems fun. Im sure if you got a job at a club you would see some fine ladies

My first job was at Randall's in Humble back around 1988. It was the best job EVARRRRRR!!!!!

I got to sack groceries, bag checker chicks, my buddy worked in the deli so I got all the Boars Heads sammiches I could stomach!

I think at one time I was dating 5 different girls there at the same time. Even scored in the dairy cooler with one of them one night.

Hobby Lobby!!!!

I was lucky enough that most of the cashiers while I worked there were hot girls. And then when homecoming time rolled around and everyone needed their homecoming junk, nothing but hot girls as far as the eye could see . The job didn't pay too much, but it was easy work and all my coworkers were fun to be around .
