Default college students....

where is everyone employed??? Looking for a job and cant seem to find a decent paying job that is flexible with my school hours...... I took a semester off of school in order to pay some debts that i owed and now that im returning back i need to find a part time job to stay out of debt....

Ive only had two previous jobs: HEB-5 years (started in HS) I ended there as an Assistant Service Manager/ Bookkeeper

Also worked at Exxon plant in Baytown with Jacobs.... worked in a fab. shop and learned to use lots of equipment... rigger/helper etc

I work for General Electric now, but I already went to school and Im back in school again now. Before when I first started school, I worked fast food . Of course I dont know what kind of money you are used to making or you have to make to get by. Fast food just wont cut it. Usually harder to commit time to school when your working a good or professional job.

I work for a Budweiser distributor as a graphics artist. Pretty much any distributor can train you if you know how to click a mouse, if they know what they are doing. Mine is very flexible, to the point where I make my own hours, and can take off, stay late, leave early, etc, at will.

i've tried pepsi, coca-cola etc and none seem to be hiring... or at least they dont have any job listings available on there web sites... I would like to work for a big distributor, but dont really know anyone that can get me in...

Ha, Mike started me at 7 the first week, 8 the next, then 9 like two months after that.

According to the kids at the stroe I transfered to in houston over the break I think they start off in the mid 7's and dont get rasies too often. But then again, none of the stores are as bussy as we are.
