What type of job do you have?

Alright folks, yes this is braggin on my part, but dayum I love my job, I'm a guy that loves being outside, and i'm a park keeper. My skin is genetically adapted to be outside, I tan like crazy, its not even june and im already starting to peel, in the soft sun of canada. It's crazy im outside basically from 8am to 4pm and where I work i go around in a tractor hurling stuff around, or just chilling on a park bench doing nothing / homework...

It seems like every day I work, my tan gets darker, and its been to a point where i've pasted girls at my school which went to the tanning salon once a week during the winter (those girls are gonna die before they reach 50 with skin cancer) anyways.. My girlfriend works at minimum wage at a subway, works her ass off, and doesnt get any benefits. I work 14$ per hour doing basically nothing all day long apart from tanning, for a 17 year old thats not bad. Lifes good :sohappy:

What do you guys do as a job? Do you work? If not shy / or impolite how much do you guys earn? or atleast you think it is a fair salary with the amount of work you do?

tl;dr: my job is amazing is yours?

Im in highschool too, and this job is nice because it gives me time to do all my homework, so no loss of time really

what a joke, the company im with is terrible at judging wages/keeping people. we have a very high turnover rate.The only reason i haven't pushed for a raise is that im leaving the company when they are going to be the busiest. Just to **** them.

I work at Kumon. The center opens on Monday. I teach little kids math. Then, the center opens again on Thursday. The same little kids come back, and I teach them the same shit I taught them on Monday, because they're really forgetful. Nothing EVER happens. I get paid minimum wage.

I sell over priced food and drinks to tourists :sohappy:

I work at my local boardwalk every summer, right now I think I make 8.75 an hour, should be making more soon when I get promoted to store lead. I think the pay is adequate because I don't do much, so it's pretty chill. I just hang out with a bunch of fun people my age and we shoot the shit when we're not selling people four dollar sodas.

I'm gonna apply for a job in a callcenter pretty soon.
I don't really look forward to getting people mad at me, hanging up on me and that stuff, but it is one of the few jobs that pays quite decently.

Minimum wage in the Netherlands is pretty shitty. I think it's like 4 euro per hour. Callcenter pays like double that.

I worked in a callcenter.
It's fun and you get good pay and even bonuses for getting in a lot of customers. The downside is that you have to learn like 20 standard sentences before you can even start a conversation with the people about the product. You'll be braindead in about 6 months.

Good thing I only plan on doing it for two months

I work as a basic researcher in 2 different labs. Starting pay's only $10/h since it's more for the exp than the money right now. I just basically run reactions, transfer stuff into cells, take pictures, analyze picture. Not too bad, it's pretty neat, and I'm enjoying all the new stuff I'm learning.
