So I worked at Subway for a while in high school...concessions at a movie theatre over a summer...looking for a job where I don't have to deal with people. I'm in college so I have limited time (weekends mostly). Any ideas?

if you don't care about having a kinda **** job - just need some spending money... get a job as a dishwasher or a prep cook at a decent restaurant. you'll be in the kitchen, have something you can just zone out and do, and at many places you get at least a little piece of the tips. easy job to find part-time as well.

If you've got work study, I say just go with that even if it means you might have to encounter another human being every once in awhile. There are always plenty of dishwasher positions available on University campuses.

Plus, if you have workstudy, you don't have to report that money you make as income on your taxes--instead it shows up as financial aid!

I'm in college and hate people too. The day after tomorrow, I have a typing test for a job as a data entry clerk. It pays a lot more than dishwashing.

Data Entry made me want to tear out my eyes with a pitchfork from sheer repetive boredom.

However, I dont mind CS positions, so maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I thought being away from other people was good.

Beat me to it. I work for my university right now transcribing....you don't see or talk to another soul for your entire shift (if you're doing your job). I make what starting dishwashers do, and I'm not covered up to my eyeballs in watered down dressing and dish washing solvents.

You can also try getting a job in the Library reshelving books.

I got paid to hang out in a computer lab and make sure no one walked off with a monitor. Occasionally one of the students would need help, but there was also an awful lot of Angband playing involved. My roommate's job was more demanding, he spent his days in the basement of the Geology department feeding a mass spectrometer, but involved even less human interaction.

What I'm saying is, check out the school's help wanted postings...

Try to be a lab assistant. You ma have to occasionally deal with people, but first off, you get paid to sit and do your damn home work, or play Snood or something. It's good ****. Secondly, you get to meet girls.

You may hate people, but remember: you are at college to get laid as much as possible, and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. If I could trade my A's for more lays, and take C's instead, I would.

You damn kids. I didn't realize what college was about until my 3rd year

right on krimzan. unless its for an application to grad school - worrying too much about your GPA is kinda a waste of time. :P

in all honesty i've had jobs ask if i have a degree, and only one has even checked if i actually graduated from said school, no others... and none have ever been curious about my grades.

I did a job watching the Chem Lab Supply Room. First week of the semester it was really hectic, getting everyone their supplies they needed. The last week of the semester it was hectic, with everyone else checking in their supplies.

In between, I sat and studied and maybe once every 2-3 weeks someone would need 1 or 2 items and I'd have to get off my butt and get them from the shelf.

I got a campus job monitoring the art gallery from 6-9 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, and got an awful lot of reading done. I think if I signed in 20 people all semester, it was a lot.

When I was an anti-social college kid I dropped out and got a job shooting at people.

Heh, Nymm. Man, I would love to quit college and join the military. Or, as probably would be a lot more fitting for someone who gets nauseous when people get hurt, go to New Orleans and join up with one of the aid groups rebuilding the city, like a friend is right now. It seems like a lot of places in the world would be ... uh, "more fertile?" than trying to balance life between getting good grades, entertainment and coming up with spending money... *sigh*

The course I took was to work a better paying job in the summer full time and bank the money for use during the school year. The work study jobs have crap hours and crap pay. Construction/Excavation/Lawn Care/etc. all pay fairly decent wages even if you're just a gopher.

Actually, being a gopher during a lawn care job is probably not a good idea...or a GREAT idea.

Man, screw colleges. I'm getting transfered to a Wawa that's literally on a college campus on Monday. It's going to suck.
