Yes, in high school, I worked at a small and local VHS rental store in South Carolina, US. It didn't pay very well but came with an employee benefit I loved in that we were allowed to rent up to 3 VHS tapes at once for free. I completely abused that benefit to the point where I had watched all the popular movies in the store and left to obscure B- horror films and the like.

I ended up watching a whole bunch of obscure films like Godfrey Ho ninja films as a result since I practically rented out the entire store while working there. 😅

Then while I was in university in North Carolina, I worked part-time at a hotel as a custodian with a bunch of middle-aged women who were part of the housekeeping staff. Mostly they had me do all the heavy-lifting work that the ladies couldn't do like carrying huge bed frames up and down stairs all day along with washing windows high up outside and making small repairs.

Yeah I work still. I bartend part time. Mostly summer to build up cash but also during the school year. It's really good money. Only thing that sucks is the best time to do it is Fri and Sat nights. So that kills your social schedule. There really isn't much better job in school than being tipped out as a bartender. You're pretty so you'll kill it hun. Even if you don't have knowledge they'll train you because they want nice looking girls behind the bar. The guys here will attack that part of my opinion but it is exactly them that drives it. If I could help you out or give advice don't hesitate to ask. Going to send you a follow here. Good luck. 💜

Yes, mainly a waitress in high school and college. My last two years of college, I worked as a night time custodian at the high school I went to. It worked out good, because it was nights and the pay was actually pretty good.

I had part time jobs.

When I was 13 and 14, I worked weekends at my uncle's full service gas station. It was fun.

When I was 14-15, I got a job working at a lunch counter inside a grocery store after school.

When I was 16, I got a job at a place called Pup 'n' Taco that was kind of like Taco Bell.

Then, for the rest of high school, I worked part time at a department store stocking shelves and working in the warehouse. That was a good job. I liked it.

And I still had time to surf, play rock music in garage bands, go on adventures in my car with friends, and party like a Viking.

In my last 2.5 years of high school, I had a part-time job making something like $2/hour in a town recreation program for mentally handicapped kids. It was about 6-8 hours/week during the school year and about 20-30 hours/week during the summer.

It wasn't a lot of money back then, but it was a very happy, rewarding, and transformative experience.

Werkin at school while at school lolz. It’s one of the best things because you can attend classes, take breaks/eat/social, and go to your job on campus with more convenience in between. Campus staff faculty are usually more understanding and will work around your school schedule!

I had a part time job and went to a college that had a work study program so I also worked full time during the year. I still could not earn enough money and eventually I fell behind on tuition and had to drop out. Later I went part time while I worked full time during the day until I graduated. Then I started grad school the next year at night too. It took me 14 years to finish.
