How do You Pay the Bills?
OK most of us are still in college, so what kind of job do you have to help pay the bills?
|
I'm a hostess/server and work as much as I possibly can. I also use some of my loan money for Delta Zeta related stuff.
|
I work my butt off at a popular chain bookstore and use finantial aid to help cover my rent and car payment as well as sorority dues. Being poor sucks!!
|
When I was in college I worked in a hospital full-time making $10.50 an hour which was really nice considering I got paid a lot more than most of my friends.
|
Last summer I worked at the gap. During the year I worked for our campus police department and now this summer I am working at Pottery Barn Kids. They all pay pretty well. I just like retail because you get discounts! :D

I paid for stuff with the loans I took out through Sallie Mae and then I didn't have a job until now so my parents helped me out by paying my rent and groceries.
Now I work in retail and sell prepaid legal. |
I work my a$$ off and put up with stupid people. nuff said. :)
Actually, I am a server for a pretty cool restaurant. I was a preschool teacher, but it wasn't paying the bills...so I had to make a choice and the bling bling won out. |

I worked part time and on vacations in college as a bank teller. I loved the hours and the pay was great - around $7 an hour (this was in the mid eighties) |
I lucked out and had an internship all throughout my last three and a half years of college. Result? I graduated with no debt. That didn't seem like much of an accomplishment then, but now that I'm trying to buy a house, I'm glad it worked out that way.

I worked a couple of different jobs during school to pay bills - first in the school library, and then the last two years as a preschool and toddler teacher.

I worked part-time throughout school in a few different jobs. I work a lot more now that i'm saving for grad school and paying back loans.

Yay! I'm so excited to find out that I'm not the only one who is broke! :) It makes me feel better. I seriously paid for my first two years of college with every penny I had saved in my childhood and high school days. So I finally tapped the bank of mommy and daddy, good to know I will only own them about $30,000 when all is said and done.
I just put my two weeks notice in last night. I work for the Health Dept at a teen clinic. I do receptionist stuff, which I love. But I was actually hired to be a gues speaker on health issues in the public schools. In general terms I teach Sex Education. But that wasn't giving me enough hours, so I went job hunting and someone actually hired me to serve, although I have NEVER waited tables. So I'm crossing my fingers that I start to make some fat cash :) |
For the past three years I've worked as a lifeguard/pool manager at a community pool, it was the greatest job. I spent all day outdoors, worked with kids, swam on breaks and got to use the pool whenever I wanted after hours. Doing this I would make all the money I needed for the school year and I didn't have to work while I was in school. This year my lifeguarding license expired and I decided not to renew it because I didn't have the money for the class and because I wanted to take summer classes. So I went for my first job interview in many years on last monday for Sears, I got the job, it's in the Lawn and Garden department I went in for orientation today and I start training tomorrow. I'm kind of excited about the new job but I really think i'm going to miss my old one.

I'm working for the first time this summer as an intern for a law firm back home.... they also have a branch near my school, so hopefully at the end of the summer they'll transfer me over there!
XOXO, Annie. |
I'm working as a law clerk for a criminal defense firm. I have no clue what the job pays - I was so happy to get it that I didn't want to ask - it'll be nice to have an income again - we're not allowed to work at all our first year which sucks so much!
|
I'm working weekdays at a Child Care Center, and weekends as a hostess at a diner...
My roomate has like 6 jobs...lifeguard, toy store, YMCA After School, Univeristy Computer Lab, orch. pit for summer musicals... and we're both still VERY broke... |
I have 2 jobs right now, but when school starts, it'll go down to one. The one I'm keeping is working for a radio station as a morning show dj. The one that I'm kicking to the curb is as a counter rep for a drycleaners (no I don't press or clean clothes, just helping customers). I get $7.50 at the cleaners and $6.50 at the station. When school starts I will need to be taking out some loans, cause the 1st national bank of mom & dad is as broke as I am
