Well guys, this upcoming summer will be my HS--->college transition summer, and I'm gonna need a job... my job now is great- flexible hours, 10/hour, desk, office, etc... basically what I do is I work for an investment firm and call up rich people around the area and ask them if I can send them info abt our group, and no Im not selling anything because its free, so dont bug me

Basically right now im working 6 or so hours per week after school, but come summer Im not prepared to call people 40+hours per week, so Im looking for something new. I figured coming on here and asking would give me some ideas. I thought abt working a car maintenance place, but I think blind_34 tried that and said it sucked, so nah... I want at least 8/hr and something fun where I can interact with people and be somewhat casual... I am willing to take a pay cut for more fun and enjoyment... I was thinking bartender since I can mix almost any drink (even tho i despise alcohol- broke up my family 12yrs ago)... dunno if I can do that at age 18 tho... so guys, any ideas?

work at a country club......i work in the bag room and we have so much fun racing carts around and stuff......i make $6 an hour + a lot of tips from all these old rich guys. defentley the best job i have had yet.

i was going to say construction worker/landscape till i saw you'd take a paycut for fun/enjoyment.
you could try to get a job serving, just check your state laws, i know you gotta be 20 & 1 day in KY to serve alcohol, but depends on the state.
you could get a job at like a quickstop oil change, you are w/ cars and get a little customer interaction.
one of the more fun jobs i had, i dunno if memphis has a big airport though, is working at the airport pushing people in wheelchairs who couldn't get around. the pay wasn't great, but you get decent tips at a busy time like the summer and the people were usually nice and thankful.

i thought it was against the rules of the country clubs to tip

anyway valet parking: you will drive all the possible cars

Well, you can't bartend until you hit the big 21, so that's out. You can serve though. My parents own a restaurant, and servers make A LOT of money with tips. Not a bad job at all, I'm thinking about doing it this summer.

thats what i did last summer. i made about 20-25 an hour but hours are short... only 4-5 hours. one night i did bring home $250 in tips though.its all about how well you can deal with people. i bartended one night too..not legaly, but i did, i didnt like that as much. get a job with friends. whereever you are you will have fun if you have friends with you. where i worked as a server i knew 7 of the 10 employees before starting to work there(small place) and we always had fun. i had a problem with saving though. i spent all my money and just lived large last summer

You can be a pimp and deal women and make big $$$ wearing pink hats (the disadvantage of the job is you'll have to paint your sc300 pink

)

Get yourself into a job where it isn't the pay that you value but the learning/experience you get from it. They couldn't pay me enough money for the two jobs i work now, I learn more about business then I do in school and I get paid twice as much as anyone I know my age (but thats another reason all together).

Make sure whatever job you get yourself into there is room too move up.

Yeah Memphis has a really big airport... FedEX home or whatever. Dosent Memphis have a performance dearlership somewhere on Goodman that would be kinda cool and you could buy wheels or whatever at a discount, be a cool summer job and you might get to meet more people with kinda the same interest

02-12-2003, 07:37 PM

dude you could go down to the Tunica Casinos and be a Valet guy, those rich people come in and my g-ma works at one of the shops and she says they tip big, and then the not so rich people might tip because they had good luck.

Wren57 · 02-12-2003, 07:46 PM
