I do too many things! I'm a musician, but I have to actually work to pay the bills! So I work at Starbucks, I also work 1 day a week for Weight Watchers as a receptionist, I used to work for a pet sitting agency but I don't have the time anymore. I still have a few clients that I will sit for on occasion to get some extra money here and there.

I am old enugh for a job, and my parents keep pushing me to get one, however I know what I can handle and what I cant, and I know that I have dangerously low grades as it is, I CANNOT handle a job and school at the same time, whether my parents like it or not lol

I have three jobs, but I only get paid for one, the other two are volunteer.

Paying job: Retail: work at Mills Fleet Farm (http://www.fleetfarm.com/) in the sporting goods section. They are located mainly in Wisconsin, also found in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Iowa. It is a lot of fun, my co-workers are the best. I LOVE it there.

Volunteer jobs: Wrangler at Camp Anokijig- I take care of the horses (all 55 of them), teach kids how to ride and care for a horse, and do general ranch work (mending fences, mucking, haying, etc). The second volunteer job is a hunter safety instructor.

Interesting thread! I always wonder what people do.

I just got a new job as a vet assistant (& receptionist depending on where I'm needed that day). Before that, I worked at animal shelters for many years. I still volunteer with a shelter almost every day so it is like working 2 jobs and getting paid beans, hehe.

I work at SilverCity. It's one of Canada's busiest theatres apparently. I'm hoping to get a second job at Famous Paramount (another theatre owned by the same company) opening in downtown Vancouver soon.

In a few years from now, I'd like to start setting up my dog training/daycare business.

Really? Where do you work?

I co-oped in the Semiconductor Industry in college, at Microchip Technologies in Chandler Arizona. For awhile it was sort of a “family” business…my uncle also worked at Microchip (he has moved on), one of his kids works for Intel, and the other for a company that makes equipment for the Semiconductor Industry. My dad worked 20+ years in the area as well, in Ohio and in Florida at one company that went from RCA to GE to Harris to Intersil.

How'd you go about getting/starting that job? I am looking to do something like that to make some extra money. The jobI have at the vet is only part-time and I would also like to work from home part-time to make extra money to put me through some canine behaviorist courses.
