Middle school teacher. around 3,800 dollars a month. I'm all right with this.

I give tours at my college

I used to work in a department store on my days off from university. Graduated and moved back to my home town and the fucking store went bust and shut down. Currently have no job and can't find one in my shitty town that isn't 'Polish employees only'. I shit you not, half our stores will only employee Polish. Wouldn't be so bad if I were in y'know, Poland. I live in fucking England. Nothing against Polish, just annoying that you can't get hired in my town if you aren't one.

You're so cute :3

Part time retail here. I get a pretty nice hourly wage, but not so many hours.
Sometimes I get about 1000 dollars, the next 1200, 1500 another month.
It all depends on which days I get to work and how many hours I'm there.

>>5046850

how much you make an hour? 10.45?

>>5046850
yea, i spend that much a month on shopping alone

I work at UPS as a plane mechanic and as a package handler. going in to College for Medic stuff.

>>5046861

How did you get into plane mechanic? Actual blue collar job?

>>5046850
Depends on the days.
I make 15~16 dollars an hour(this is just me converting currencies here though), but if I'd be working on towards later hours I get 50% more of my hourly, pay per hour hour. On a Sunday, I get double per hour.

>>5046864
I work on the Air ramp. Manager came in one day and offered it to me one day when I asked what the maintenance man was doing. Well, that and I kind of fixed the conveyor belt without qualifications.


I'm still paid the same rate I am as a package handler, I just have special training on what to do is the plane goes apeshit during take off, and I get to ride in a white pick up truck onto the ramp if I feel like it.

>>5046866

Sounds neat actually. Do they lend you tools to work, have your own? you simply inspect the ramps and do service when needed? What is your rate though?

>>5046878
The tool box is supplied by the rented WWII hangar we used (it's actually pretty derelict, but UPS is jews.), it's got it's soldering iron, reflecting jacket, wrenches, disposable ear buds and what not. But for the most part, all I really use is the orange traffic batons to marshal in the plane to the run way. My rate started out at 8.50 but moved up quickly to 9.50, by the start of next year, it should be 10.25 and then it goes up a dollar every year after that. It's a part time job, so I'm working four hours, but everything after five is pretty much time and a half. There have been times where the plane has been late before (usually because of fog) , hell this Weds they had me stay until 1 in the afternoon just to unload it. I can't complain though, it was pretty much free money for me since 7 of the 8 hours we stayed were pretty much downtime.

I used to transport the dead.

But this next week I will be starting at FedEx Ground.

cool job, low pay

atleast from my point of view, the minimum wage here is $10.25

I do tech support for Apple, specifically iPhones and iPods

>>5046904
Yeah, that pretty much summarizes it. I'm cool with it though, it gives me time to pretty much work out and get my studies done. UPS has a work agreement with Devry, and since that means I can abuse Tuition reimbursement from UPS without having to pay any of it until after I graduate from Devry (once again, thanks to UPS) I pretty much get a free 3k to dick around with every semester or so. So it evens out for me. :V

I work for the IT department of a large insurance company.

It's pretty awesome and I get paid bank for just getting out of college (in an unrelated degree, no less.)

Minimum wage, but it beats the piss out of working for a fast food joint.

you sound mad.

I make animu shits and sell them at cons in the AA.

I make about 2-3k a month on average.

Still riding off the savings from my engineering internship this summer.

I interview for a real mechanical engineering job next weekend.

student, with a decent job as a lab tech for my programming degree.
basically, i update/install stuff on the computers, keep the labs clean, and do some tutoring here and there. otherwise, i sit there, and get paid to do my homework/watch things online.

I'm in law school in Canada. So I won't be making any money for about 3 more years.

Well, I'm a caseworker intern, but my internship has a nice stipend.

So I make sure kids are safe.

School library media specialist earning approx $3650/mo. Also ok with this since most people in my area earn min. wage. There's a huge military base in the area too so that has inflated prices. Basically you need a 2-income household at min.wage or work in education to survive. It's kind of lame actually.

While it's not always sweet roses trying to teach some of the rowdy, pompous high school kids, the pay, benefits, and schedule/work day is pretty ballin'.

I'm a grad student, but I work at a wealthy resort-club on the beach at the two restaurants. I put up with a lot of bullshit between my two incompetent managers and the rich, self-entitled arrogant folk I cater to.
This job just motivates me to get my master's faster.

What's the worst/dumbest thing you've seen someone write/ask/do on a contact lens thread? I need a good laugh.

I am a tutour, make 3 grand work 150

I fix wood wind and brass instruments at a music store. The pay isn't particularly good, but the hours are getting better now that school has started up again. It's pretty fun being able to give people A fresh, newly working instrument after it breaks down, either all at once or over time. Half the time I'm only cleaning them. I also get to work in the back by myself most of the time, which is nice.

I come here to laugh at all the health and beauty advice threads - there was one tard who seriously said to bleach her skin she sat in a bath with bottles of lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide mixed into the water. Anyone who's even done high school chem knows acid + base = salt + water, bitch may as well have pissed in the bath to get a better effect (urea softens skin).

Not bad! Have you been doing it for a while or is this like starting out? How do you like the job so far, and was it very hard to get?

Sorry, teaching is what I'm aiming to do and I'm still kinda bouncing around between that after-grad thing and applying for a credential program thing.

Hi guys I work at a large canadian book retailer for 9 dollars/hr.

It fucking.
I don't even know. I make between 1000 and 1200/month

Eh. I work at Walmart. It doesn't really suck, Just the fact that I get "Lol u work at walmart fail!" alot. I get payed well above minimum wage and my co workers are pretty cool. I just hate the fact it's over nights (9pm to 6am)

I'm with a really great company that's very easy going. I won't brag because I don't want it to bite me in the ass, but I've thought about leaving for better pay and just can't make myself do it with how well they treat me.

I get benefits from the government because I'm unable to work right now and I'm legally disabled ;_;

I really hate being such a leech like this and I honestly can't wait until I can get a job and stop being such a fucking leech on society. I guess on the plus side though, I don't really spend my money on myself, I give a lot of it to my dad to help with paying for stuff around the house and I just tend to buy people things all the time.

In the market for new clients and side work...

I was working 60+ hours a week for a large company; I had an office, very comfortable income and ZERO free time.
I decided to go back to school so I quit.. then found out the job market is practically nonexistent. I found a part time retail job just as I had almost cleared out my savings.
Now I am worried I might have made a poor decision. My coworkers are college grads but I am the one up for a promotion due to work experience not education.

I'm currently a delivery driver and restaurant hostess.

Hey guys. Another GS employee. Been with the company for over 4 years and I'm very much over it. I wish I was at least an ASM, but I'm not. My district sucks. My DM got hired from outside the company not too long ago and doesn't know what he's doing 1/2 the time and keep hiring his friends to take management positions instead of promoting from within...

I'm also a student working on my master's degree which is fun to shock GS customers with. Some don't believe me or think I have my degree names confused. I'm trying to be a teaching aid or substitute, but all the districts in my area are only hiring people who are already working within the district >:(

Hairstylist and haunted house actor.

I'm a full time opener for a fast food place. It's sort of a shitty job, but the market around here is really competitive and my boss is actually not a dick. I get off by 2pm because I start so early, my schedule never changes so I always have my weekends free, and my husband pays for nearly all the bills.
All I earn goes to groceries, my small debt, and the rest on whatever I like.

It wouldn't be feasible if I was trying to sustain myself off this job, but as it is? It gets me out of the apartment.

>>5050590
Ee, that sucks. If it makes you feel any better my old district was fucked up too. The DM pushes reservations like mad and the store managers that I knew would tell GA's to do basically anything to get people to preorder things, including disabling automatic promotions and then offering them in exchange for preorders. My old SM wouldn't schedule me unless I complained because he was having an affair with a girl at another store and his wife knew about it, and told him he wasn't allowed to work with girls. Thankfully when I started going to uni I transfered to a much better district. My new SM just moved to IL a week ago, but he was absolutely fantastic and I couldn't have asked for a better manager. The entire store here is great and puts much more emphasis on CE than anything else, which is really how it should be. I get to work with my new SM for the first time tonight, he used to work in my old district which makes me a little worried though.

>>5050590
That's just unfortunate :( Did you ever bring it up with him?
I've almost worked there for a year now and I sort of want to get to ASM, but I'm starting to miss school aswell. Shiieet.

Seems like a very /cgl/ thing to work at Gamestop, Michael's, Joanne, Misc craftstore.. etc

>>5050599

>>5050602

I swear, I hate not getting a schedule on time. I got a new SM and an ASM, and I always seem to get it the day after the current month has ended and I wont get to know anything sometimes unless I bother them about it.
Yech.

My old ASM used to be pretty boss with GP(like 70%-100% every day/week), but we'd have to tell him to calm down with that shit because he'd be pretty..persistent.

I hope all goes well with the new SM

>>5050590
>>5050621
EB Games/Gamestop bros fuck yeah!

Yeah I work at EB Games. Been working there for 4 years and even trained my current manager. I don't want to get promoted because dealing with upper management BLOWS and my boss is always stressing and like hell I wanna get into that with some shitty retail job. Just not worth it.

I'm part of the lolshittyDM crowd too. My DM doesn't know shit about anything since he was hired from outside the company. He hates me because I have worked here for so long and he can probably sense my disdain for him. He is a crazy pusher for numbers: "Guys getting 200 Batman preorders in a strip store with 2 other stores 5 min away from you should be EASY. Nevermind the fact that CoD only just broke 100 presells". "Guys the 3DS is coming out today you need a UPT(units per transaction) of at least 3.0 with a 40% GPG(warranty) amount." I just laugh. He also consistently makes stupid spelling errors like Dues Ex and LA Niore.

Other than that my boss is a bro, a sometimes perverted bro, but I've known him from before he was hired so he's cool. My ASM is relatively new, but he's awesome and we talk about music and rage about my coworkers. My coworkers consist of: an Italian wannabe mobster drug pusher who regularly gets in a rage at other coworkers for not taking his shift in less than a days notice and throws shit inside the store, a spoiled ONLY WoW playing daddy's girl who only works here because her dad gives her money to hold a job, and an old friend from elementary school who is dating the daddy's girl (and he's TOTALLY RIDICULOUSLY whipped). Basically I hate my other SAs. I'm a keyholder so I regularly get to work with alll of them~

>>5050680
40% along with the units sold throughout the day or PER unit?

>I don't want to get promoted because dealing with upper management BLOWS and my boss is always stressing and like hell I wanna get into that with some shitty retail job. Just not worth it.
This is sort of why I'd be hesitating and good lord you'll be getting so much shit from everyone all the time.

>"Guys getting 200 Batman preorders in a strip store with 2 other stores 5 min away from you should be EASY. Nevermind the fact that CoD only just broke 100 presells".
LMAO I know that feel.

College student on EMA
I'm ok with this.

>>5050716
He wanted minimum 40% GPGs on anything that you could add it to. It's kinda ridiculous trying to sell a GPG on a DS/3DS game. The best you can try to sell them on is we cover if it goes through the washer. And even that won't kill a cartridge sometimes. When I started working here numbers were great to have, but they were not nearly as important as they are now. In the last year working here has gotten worse, probably because we've started Gamestop's policy of NO NUMBERS NO HOURS.

It's sometimes hard to sell for PS3 games, because customers know about the bluray scratch coating. It's easier on Wii games and 360 games. 360 especially because lolcirclescratch. It's a bitch though because we get so many non native English speakers and they don't understand what a GPG is. They only understand how much they have to pay. Or they bring their kid to translate. That gets REALLY annoying sometimes. On an average day I must hear 5-6 different languages.

Currently a full-time student working on my masters degree. I just got hired at University Housing service desk so hopefully I can pick up some hours there. Two unpaid internships this past summer was killer on the bank account.

Currently waiting tables, but applying for various receptionist jobs so I can make more and have steady hours so I can live in the apartment I want.

Word Processor at a commercial real estate firm, mostly I do marketing assistant type stuff.

It's ok for now but I'm a little concerned that it's not going to really go anywhere. I'm hoping it'll become an opportunity to learn In Design and then move on to somewhere cooler.

Most of the people at my office are decent, but none of them have even a drop of nerd in them, which I find very disappointing.

>>5050602

Yea I did talk to him. He said he would put me on a"devolopment plan." That was like 6 months and 3 managers ago. In this last year I've have 4 managers. (I think my current one is a keeper tho! FINALLY)

My store is the store NO ONE wants. My DM has tried to bribe other managers to take it and no one wants it. It's sooo fucking busy. We're a very trade heavy store and pretty much take trades/process them all day and constantly ship them out because there is no room. We get the most hours in our region...

Thankfully reserves is something we don't even have to try with. We just ask "do you want to preorder this?" and we hit our goals. Now PUR is a bitch for us tho...

I wouldn't mind being the ASM because my customers are actually cool and I'm used to how crazy busy we are. my team is actually awesome too so it wouldn't be bad at all. We were without a manager for like 3 months and just got a new manager a month ago. So during that time my ASM was manager and I was pretty much the ASM anyways because the other SGA at my store fails (he just quit tho, so yay) and the third SGA just got promoted...so he didn't know what he was doing.

And GL with the new manager! :)

Currently a School Psychologist Intern, next year I'll be a full-fledged School Psychologist.

>>5050741
Odd, my district could give less about GPGs...We're super big on the netpromoter. If its under 100% we're already in trouble. My DM freaks out over that shit. He takes all customer complaints so seriously its disgusting.

>>5050741
I usually just tell those who don't understand, by showing them a broken disc then a new one, then tell them how much it is. Some get it, some don't.
None of the consoles, such as the PS3, 360 and Wii are too hard to add a GP to as the games are about 80-100 dollars on release where I'm at. Some people say no of course, but alot would rather not pay that sum again, because they don't know where to fix them, and because they'd rather not spend the same sum again.
It's heartbreaking having to deal with those who didn't get it and tell me it doesn't work, only to see a ginormous scratch on the disc.

Do you guys still have the DVDs?No one really wants GP on that, and the DVDs are included on the GP statistics here, meaning the numbers can go down real fast through one transaction.

>>5050788
Hurray for keepers!

Oh wow, trade heavy stores are fun, but also terrible. The one I'm at is pretty small and due to the traffic the lines tend to get long, you know with testing and checking routines.

>>5050796
oh man we JUST got our customer feedback program like a month ago. DM is already starting to email stores with feedback results. I can see this becoming annoying in the near future.

Unemployed.
Hopefully I'll get a job soon. Been pretty much everywhere.

>>5050822
>>5050556
>>5050579
There, there.

>>5050803
Oh man I have worked here too long and been bitched at for not selling GPGs way too much to give ANY fucks if some kid comes in with a scratched disk and doesn't have a GPG. I explain what we cover and yeah we have a circle scratched 360 disk to show off as well. If you don't wanna pay $3 to cover your damn $70 game then suit yourself. I am even nice enough to tell them to keep the damn receipt and put it in the case/someplace safe.

But seriously fuck these people who scratch their games. Man I NEVER. EVER. EVER. scratched ANY of my games bad enough so they didn't work. I had a PS1 and a PC back when I was very young too so it's not like I only lived off cartridges. And all of those still work too! Hell, I still play some of the first PC games I ever owned. They are 10+ years old. Now I'm mad. I swear kids have gotten worse. I feel like an old "get off my lawn" person now.

>>5050796
I really like the CE surveys as a way of evaluating employees over the usual res/sub thing. Happy customers will come back and buy things and give more business, customers that are annoyed by how pushy you are for them to preorder or sign up for GI will not. Not to mention I've noticed that most of the customers that come in are families with kids looking for games as opposed to the stereotypical Gamestop neckbeard customer, and families are a lot less likely to preorder things but super easy to make happy if you're nice to their kid and help them find something they like. You do have to be careful though if your DM is serious about complains. My old third key got fired because a customer exaggerated something that he said to make it sound like it was a personal attack on her. (Basically he said Jillian Michaels looks like a man, and the customer was a lesbian and complained that he said she was a dyke). But basically greet customers on the floor, when they check out ask if they want to pre-order/sign up for GI, say it's alright if they don't want to, highlight the survey on the bottom of the receipt and thank them for their purchase and BAM you are now an awesome employee.

Navyfag.

Full-time student, part-time slave for the Mouse Mafia (cashier in the theme park restaurants). I make $9.75 and work anywhere from 20-50 hours a week depending on the season. It gets me by. Currently looking into doing some freelance writing for local news websites to get some real experience in my major.

I'm a grad student with a delicious stipend. It's not much, but I put some money in serious savings and some in craft/hobby/fashion savings each month.

I also don't eat much, which helps.

>>5050843
I don't like the surveys because our DM has a habit of ignoring any positive things we do. I just know how much fun my boss is gonna have with my DM if we get ONE bad review.

I get along with neckbeards better than families. I fucking hate clueless parents and kids. Hell, kids are dumb. They come up with some game they know shit all about and I say "Hey, do you know anything about this game? No? Why are you buying it? What if you don't like it? That's money you could spent on something you actually liked. Go home and research what you want." Might as well do the parenting for the ones who aren't there to do it.

And then there's the fucking parents who come in and say "I need a game for my kid. He's 6. I don't know what he likes. I don't know what he already has. I'm a shitty parent." I just shove a shitty movie game in their face and say it's popular. Or more like 12 movie games, since they always wanna see more though I can TELL they don't even know what they are looking at. Yeah I'm pretty bitter.

The neckbeards are nice. They understand gamespeech and talking them into a preorder isn't that bad. We don't get too many neckbeards though. We get a TON of quiet asians.

>>5050848
If you work for EB Games you can blame that on Gamestop's ownership. If you work for Gamestop, well, welcome to a shitty DM/boss.

Nothing right now, also a government leech until my medical condition gets stable again (legally disabled yo).

So weird to see how the focuses are different in other areas. I would think that corporate would have some sort of standard and put everyone on the same thing. But apparently it ranges from region to region.

And yea my DM is super serious about complaints, but as much as I dont like the guy, he can tell when a customer is exaggerating and such. Now if he would only give me my developmental plan...

What pisses me off with my DM mos is he pretty much just breaks every policy to make a customer happy. We return xb360 circle scratched CDs within the 30 days. I know stores that wont without a GPG. I've also returned sooo many consoles without a warranty. I returned a damn xb360 that was 2 years outside the warranty because the DM said to in order to make the customer happy. I can't even stand my ground and say "sorry its store policy" to rude as fuck customers because my DM will tell me to break the policy and apologize. I dont see why the fuck we have store policies ifwe don't enforce them...

>>5050892
>Hell, kids are dumb
Hey now you're being a little harsh. They are KIDS and honestly, even for the clueless parents, it is a good opportunity to give a few tips, tell them shortly what it's about and so on.

I bought games without knowing what it really was. I only saw Jet Force Gemini in a small booklet and I thought it looked sort of cool and tried it out. Boy was I glad I did.

>>5050844

>>5050919
Yeah, I think it depends on how big the store is and how the sales look.
There's a real small store I've been to who don't get that many coming in during the day, so they pretty much tossed one thing aside, and focus on the other instead.

I tutor this little brat that throws paper balls and tries to take my mp3 when I try to get him to work

We rarely get recognition for positives from our DM, but my old SM would post the comments in the back room and we usually get extermely positive ones. Almost everyone person at my store has been working there for 4+ years and the only turn over is with the holiday help people so we have a very good relationship with our customer base.

I don't mind the families when they're polite and at least have a semi-formed idea of what they're looking for. I hate the families with kids that run around the store destroying the spined sections (especially Wii, because that's where the kids go) and the parents don't do anything about it. There's one family that comes in every time I'm working and specifically ask for me, but I can't stand them because the kids are completely out of control and whine and whine and whine the entire time they're in the store. The real gamers always seem really awkwarded out when I try to talk to them for some reason, but I get a lot of bro's trying to talk to me about COD and Halo when I'm more of an RPG kind of girl and then they think I don't know shit about vidja gaemz for not enjoying trash talking faceless strangers because I killed them in a game. I'm just not a competitive person, I strongly prefer a good story in a game and it makes me sad that there's so much focus on making games that are basically mediums for people to kill eachother and feel like they have massive epeens for half a second.

>>5050924
Yeah I'm not gonna lie I pretty much hate kids and ignorant parents. It probably is harsh and sometimes I wonder why I work in a retail store if I hate most people so much. I work there because I love games, and the 10% of customers that love them as much as I do make it worth dealing with the 90% that make me want to shoot myself.

I model and there's someone I freelance write for.

So...life is good. Not what I plan to do long term, but I probably won't make as much any other time then I do now.

I was looking for a job but then I found a job. Heaven knows I'm miserable now.

>>5050971
I JUST listened to that song.

Barista. $17/hour, anywhere from 35-45 hours a week depending on the season. I also do freelance make up work (although I haven't done anything for a long, long time- like since July).

Saving to open a cafe' with my partner. We're both good 'people people' and have experience in all different kinds of hospitality. But we'll see. He makes really good money, so I'm not sure if we can give up our current lifestyle for something that might not pan out.

Stripper.

>>5050971
I wish I'd seen this before I made my last post, because I love you.

Retail...
I really wish I could get into something else, because I hate it. And I'd like to make more money.
But its good enough for now, I suppose, what with being a full time student.

>>5051009
WHAT A COINCIDENCE! I work at a front desk at a hotel as well! :D

Also, are we doin' this with Morrissey?

I work front desk at a hotel catering mainly to long-term residents. It's like being an RA for adults. It's not a bad job, but I'm paid minimum wage and my boss is very inexperienced, which has led to high employee turnover. (He got the job because he's the owners' son.)

On the weekends, I DJ in nearby cities for $20/hour.

I'm studying to be a paralegal.
>>5051046
Every day I'm Morrissin'.

As a nurse I was punched in the head for changing a bandaid on a foot. Called a cruel bitch and asshole because It wasnt time to give this lady a xanax. Older man asked my age. He said I looked 11. I deal with dementia people all the time.

I know how you guys feel bro.

>>5051032
Bwahaha oh man I have a 100 of those stupid dickhead bro stories at the store. Two of my favorites:

>Black Ops Midnight release last year
>Line is practically gone, in the parking lot picking up trash
>Random guy stares at me for a second and goes "Hey, you wanna party?"
>Blank stare
>"Oh, I don't play video games. I'm just here with my friend."
>I'm like "Uhh.. is that supposed to impress me? I work at a video game store."
>Exchange glances with my ASM who is holding back laughter
>Bro proceeds to give me his address because he's like, having parties all the time man and you should come get drunk with us, girl

>Three kinda ghetto dudes come into the store to trade in
>First guy goes "Shiiiiiiiiiittt, whatchu doin' workin' here? You play video games?"
>I'm like "Uh, yeah."
>"You play Cawadooty? Madden? NBA? You shoot hoops?"
>"Not really."
>"Oh man, so you like, play Wii right? Mario Kart? Sims? That kind of shit right?" laughing with his friends.
>"I haven't touched my Wii in years, but my favorite current-gen game series is Assassin's Creed. I also really like Portal 2 and Civ V lately."
>Proceeds to laugh at me with his friends.
>I'm like wtf I'm playing decent, well developed games and you think you're cool for exclusively playing games that come out every year with minor improvements wat

>>5051057
I wish I could have his hair. Hnnng.

>>5051032
>Guys walk in, see us. "Hey there are GIRLS working in here!"
>his fave game is NBA2K11

As a former game store Asst. Manager, my instinct tells me he was black, wasn't he?

>>5051071
>As a former game store Asst. Manager, my instinct tells me he was black, wasn't he?

This is hilarious because it's true. Probably 9/10 men that hit on me at work are black.

>>5051077
Oh, but to clarify I'm not the person you were talking to directly, I'm the other GS employee. I do not know if this particular person was in fact black.

ASM from >>5051071 here. He may not have been, but if your favorite game is a basketball sim... Then again, my store was inner city and that was all I ever got, dudes who would masturbate over Madden/Live, but dismiss "all that readin' shit" as boring (strats and RPG's).

>>5051071
No man he was some stupid white blond jock looking faggot wearing some sports tshirt. And he was honestly stupid, because he asked us if we were from around here. Were we from the area that our minimum wage retail store is located in. I probably couldn't hold in my 'are you a fucking idiot' look. When we said we were he was happily surprised and his poor friend just said "well of COURSE they are from around here."

Then he proposed we make a WoW guild of people from my city because it was SO CRAZY that we were from the same huge fucking suburban city and he would give us 200g if we gave him a discount. And I said "200g? Dude you could make that in like an hour or less." He offered to give his account with his 'rouge' then I said if it hasn't got a Burning Crusade CE code no thanks.

>>5051065
>"I haven't touched my Wii in years, but my favorite current-gen game series is Assassin's Creed. I also really like Portal 2 and Civ V lately."
>Proceeds to laugh at me with his friends.
THESE ARE THE LESSER BEINGS OF WHOM I SPEAK. How dare they not respect any of those titles.

Oh man, during my year as an employee there, I never got to meet someone like that. Sure there are people who only play a certain series, but they're never rude about it. All my customers are so chill about our tastes, make jokes sometimes with their friends and so on.

Some old ladies were surprised that there suddenly were females working at the store(there were males only before I started) and thought it was nice to see us in the business lol.

>Never worked before
>Filled out one application because the store is like 2 blocks from where I live
>Get hired for $9.65 an hour
Minimum wage is 8 something here.
All of my money gets blown on clothes, random shit, and conventions.
Feels nice man

>>5051138
Lucky. Minimum wage here in NC is 7.25.

>>5051156
8.25 is minimum here. I make around 8.75. But my job is such a laid back place, I don't even care.

Got laid off so I do art commissions and comics for a paysite. It's a bit hard for me to find a steady job around my area because they want me to be bilingual. Thinking of going back to school.

>>5051160
Yeah, I envy your job. Have I mentioned that yet today?

I know I covered it yesterday.

>>5051166
Nope, cause you haven't texted me, OR messaged me. :P

Manager at a Little Caesar's. Oh the glamour.
Half the time I want to punch my teenage employees, and good god I am sick of pizza, but my boss is like.. The best boss in the world. Corporate loves me, and I might get trained to be the Assistant Manager, since the current one is leaving us. Due for another raise here, soon. Like a boss.
Also do tattoo art commissions on the side. Put 50$ in a savings account every paycheck, because I reallyreally want to open a little diner. It'll be my baby. Otherwise, I have two roads I could go for my life.
>History teacher
>Interior Designer

P.S. Officer Delicious won't be happening, much to my dismay; I wouldn't pass the health test. Fuck you, heart. Damn, I was looking forward to being a lady cop.

>>5051967
Yeah, kinda far to go to hug a cat, I sorreh. Since I don't have a valid railcard right now either, pretty expensive too. Sigh.

You'll just have to hug your cat extra from me! :<

>>5052007
>implying I can catch him to hug him

There was a reason it would be a job lol.

I work at Michaels. Minimum wage is 7.25, I'm at 9.20. Hopefully get a raise after I finish training in framing. Once I'm 24 and can apply for financial aid w/o my parents tax info, college time. *sigh*

Yes. It sucks.

But he only uses his claws against me and not my dad lol.

I work as a veterinary assistant.

There is more drama at my job than on /cgl/.
In fact, I come on here to get away from the drama.
Is that sad?

>>5052034
Oh man, do I even want to know what goes on with all of those poor animals?

how is the new Victoria's Secret in kingsway mall treating yas my fellow VS work buddy?

I use to work 1 hour short of full time at a small convenient store/ pharmacy while I attended school full time. All of my coworkers were cool except one. 95% of the customers sucked.
I quite when I transferred schools. My parents want me to get another job but I'm still scarred by the coupon bitches.

>>5052034
How can being a vet's assistant be dramariffic? Do the dogs have a vendetta against the cats?

I mean, at the Humane Society, we talk about the cats/what's going on with them/who left, but nothing drama like happens.

Working on a degree in Information Technology right now, and should be finishing up by the end of spring

God damnit I gotta watch that AMV again.

I go out at night and fight crime. It doesn't pay much, but I enjoy it.

Animator/Illustrator. $15 an hour, pretty good but I'd like more since I practically run the company I work for.

Working as a referee at a place called Whirley Ball.
I pretty much run laser tag and a game similar to a mix of basketball, lacrosse, and bumper cars combined.
min wage and tips, but I love it there.

Utility Representative at at Third-Party Administration company. Full time. Salary. Feels good man, but I'm wasting away there because I don't really enjoy it, but I can do what is required for me.

I need to finish my college courses for that piece of paper.

I help defend major corporations against lawsuits brought against them by individuals in the court of law.

I am still happy, she's my best friend, been with me half my life.

I work for a company that makes LE/Mil gear. Nothing sooper special but it's a pretty good gig.

Tax staff at a large accounting firm. Have no life from Jan-April. But good salary and it's pretty chill around summers so gives me time to go to cons.

I work in QA for a well-known Japanese game publisher. My pay is shit, they treat us like shit, and every day I wonder why I haven't applied at Blizzard or some other developer yet.

>>5053338
my husband doesnt care what i do and he supports me. masturbate for a couple hours a day on cam and i can pay for a new pocketbook or that new coat i've been wanting. it's more like it puts extra money in my pocket than a job to be honest.

that's disgusting

he obviously doesn't respect you. no good husband would be ok with the love of his life fingering herself in front of strangers

tldr; your husband married a whore and he knows it

>>5053627
Different Anon but you're so amusing. If he didn't respect her and knew he married a whore, why would he still stick with her? It's extra money, she never has to face her viewers in person, she can earn money from home doing pretty much something everyone does, and her husband still gets all the sex he wants. For all you know, he might find it a turn on.

>>5053635
> why would he still stick with her?
Are you really that fucking retarded? actually no, you answered your own question: FREE SEX

I teach kids how to swim. It's a surprisingly rewarding job since most of the kids are well behaved (around people not their parents). I basically get payed to play with kids in a pool for about 4 hours.

And this is ironic because I dislike kids in the real world.

>>5053627
wtf. just because you personally don't understand their marriage doesn't mean it doesn't work for them.

i know a couple who are swingers (i.e. they go to sex parties sometimes and have sex with other people) and they've been happily married for 15 years. the wife goes a lot more than the husband and he doesn't mind.

maybe it turns anon's husband on that she does camgirl stuff lol. (or maybe he just doesn't mind).

The drama is with the co-workers and the owners of said pets.
Mostly the co-workers. We're a a small, family owned, all-female clinic.

>AHMIGAWD JELLO, the doctor was going around telling everyone how you undercharged someone for an x-ray!
[Turned out I didn't even do it, my manager was on my account by mistake]

>ahmigawd I hate the new girl! djhfskhfshf
>ahmigawd that lady who owns that cat is CRAAAAZZZZYYY.
>Ahmigawd co-worker Z said this and then I told co-worker A who was like "FUCKTHATBITCH" so then co-worker A did this to co-worker Z

I was actually hiding in x-ray one day, just filing stuff and my co-worker comes in, takes the ball of rubber bands from me and throws it on the floor and goes "I HATE HER SO MUCH."

[Yes, it did bounce if anyone was wondering.]
Just so much estrogen man. So much estrogen. Otherwise, when everyone is not on their synced periods, we're all good buddies.

I build houses! It's surprisingly fun. Not so fun when the union thugs come and try to shame us into joining. Sorry, union, I know you want everyone to pay your dues, but I like my money in my pocket!

Also I wouldn't be able to get the jobs I get if I were in the union, so it's sort of counter-intuitive.

I also knit stuff and sell it at the flea market. You'd be surprised what some of this stuff goes for.

>>5053715
>calls her out on being a slut

Why would you even get married if you were going to do things like that? Marriage means, "I'm yours, and I'm only yours."

>>5053868

Yeah, I thought adultury was like... Not legal?

But, it's their life. They can live it however they please. You and I might not understand it, and we might never participate in something like that, but what they do is none of our business.

I work part time as at an independant vidya store. Also, I sell clothing and random things on etsy.

Some girls feel the need to be attention whores while being married/in relationships because they love it when other guys fawn over them for being "committed", similar to how girls try to get with men who are in relationships. It all comes down to attention really.

Manager at an amusement park, and do a cosplay/prop commissions business on the side :3

Exotic dancer / camgirl. I make a little over 7k a month on average, but I don't work much.

IT Support, making 3k a month working from home. Great perk, but I do miss the human interaction.

>>5054171
Do you feel gross after work? I've been to a few clubs and seen some seedy and nasty shit going on.

>>5054182

I mean, I take a shower after I get off because the stage gets pretty grimy after 30+ girls are stomping around on it but that's about it. The club I work at is pretty nice and no touching anywhere other than the midsection during the lap dances... other places, though, you'd probably need a good delousing.

>>5054171

I work at Jo-Ann Fabrics (You know, CGL's dream job, like duh.) And you're all lime green jello.

Oh, and for temporary Halloween money boost, I work at Party City as a second job.

All my money goes to gas to get to school & work. I can't save, buy new clothes which I desperately need, go out with friends, or anything. Just work and school, barely. All because I drive 100miles a day and my parents won't help me get an education. :(

Yeah, its not the greatest, and its one of the small stores with a limited selection. Both of Texas' two major fashion schools are a mile away from eachother, and right down the street. I don't know why we have such a shitty selection. But every now and then, something nice pops up. They're trying. Most of us Denton fashion kids traverse into Dallas anyhow to go to the fabric warehouses for designer fabrics. Hancock is about an hour away, so might as well go to Dallas.

I am a student but i work at my uncle's Asian Grocery Store haha.
I used to work at Safeway for 4 years but they got gay and wouldn't let me transfer stores and said i had to quit & lose all seniority & pay. That was retarded and I applied for my uncles chain and he pays me what Safeway did which is $11.25/hour which is awesome
