I'm a full time college student who raps for change on the weekends. In the summer I work for Houghton Mifflin Book Co. You were fairly close, it's struggling.;)
btw, this is OT.

I sell 240sx turbo kits to make a living; and really love the fact that now, I don't have to make so much because I save much more paying wholesale:D

on the chat page there is something on the left of the screen

The little blue envelopes? If there's a white thingy sticking (I think it's a piece of paper) out of it, it means there are new posts in that thread since you're last visit to that particular thread. If there is no white thingy, then there are no new posts since your last visit. If there are little lines (I think there are 5) around the top of the blue envelope, it means it's a "Hot Topic"--more than a certain number of views or posts brings that up.

im a college student also who works at a video store for minimum wage cuz no one else wants to hire me and im still trying to save for my 240....

WaKeMaN 03-02-2003 03:17 PM

So it'll be at least four more years before I get to do what I want to my 240...

I'm so broke I have to buy generic ramen noodles...

...ughhh...

MorganS13 03-02-2003 03:19 PM

i'm a worthless college student with no job... no one around here is hiring, i've applied to at least 8 different places with nothing :mad:

Apparition 03-02-2003 09:49 PM

University student, and I can't even make enough money in the summer to pay tuition. :D Seems like most college/uni students are having problems making ends meet. Good ol debt.

dorifto240 03-03-2003 12:43 AM

Im currently taking a year off before I go to tech. school next year and I work at a video-game store full-time...... fun stuff:rolleyes:

AKADriver 03-03-2003 12:46 AM

Here's one for ya:

I'm a software engineer for a government contractor. I live comfortably.

And I probably have the STOCKEST (is that a word?) 240SX here :D Original OEM shocks even...

I could splurge and mod the car, but I'm saving to go back and get my MSEE. Thinking of selling a car even (don't worry, the GTI...)

Phlip 03-03-2003 07:42 AM

Full time student, Aviation Systems Technologies eats away at 30 hours of my week (6 hours a day) and I work for AT&T wireless in customer care for another 40 of the week to pay for the stuff I break on the weekends, but the car is paid for...

Ha, I knew I wasn't the only rapper driving one of these. I rap for a living, and I am living, barely.

I pay for my 240 habit with money that I make from shows and if I really need something done, I swallow my pride and go to one of those ghetto daily work daily pay places. Minimum wage is not a definition they are familiar with. Oh, I also sell beats for money. Thelinja, got beats?

Thurazor 03-04-2003 02:36 AM

I unload trucks at Wal-Mart. I actually get paid very well and time goes by quick because I'm constantly working. The only downside is you gotta work shirtless in the Summer or you drench your shirts in sweat.

RedSuns 03-04-2003 02:45 AM

i get payed 30K a year to sit on zilvia and freashalloy.......

Dunkee 03-04-2003 06:44 AM

Titan 03-04-2003 07:22 AM

High school student here. I work for a painting contractor over the weekends. Soon to be in university, that'll eat up alot of money and time. :rolleyes:

the head 03-04-2003 02:30 PM

college student work summers and sell **** during school to pay for car habit. ie parts from cars, blood plasma ($200 per month), i wish we had a sperm bank up here i would rake in mad cash anyone else know of easy ways to pick up cash??

b_dyche 03-04-2003 02:42 PM

Until I leave for Navy Bootcamp I work for JC Penney in the Cascade Mall... pay is pretty good, + benefits, + paid time off, + decent discount... life is pretty good... not complaining anyway, 18 (almost 19) with my own apartment, 2 cars, and almost 0 debt... ;)

During the summers I work my @$$ off driving tractors & bucking hay during my time off (and I usually put my regular job on the back-burner during summer - work 2-3 days a week and work hay the rest of the time)...

I was going to college (SVC - community college, baby!) but I finished there and don't want to spend the $$$ for university, so I'm just chillin' until I ship out in June...

I scan medical records then sort them by date on a computer. Nothing more frustrating then sorting a 600 page medical record, then you have to put the pages into 3 subcategories; office notes, labs, diagnostics. And if I don't do that job, I'm in the call center making calls to doctors' offices and hospitals to obtain the records. Boring job. I need to move on.

I'd think you would get paid pretty decent for that though. Most medical records jobs pay pretty well here in Tulsa.

I work for Enterprise RentaCar. I have for 1.5 years now. I graduated college May '01 w/ a degree in Computer Graphics. When I started college in '94, that field was BOOMING in Tulsa. I knew I could do well financially and emotionally enjoy the hell out of it. I wound up taking the 7-year-plan to college, and was sooo lucky to find a job starting the week after graduation in the field--not doing the computer work, but proofing before it went to press (it was a decal/sticker design company). Of course, I quit m current job w/ no notice (told the boss he could go fock himself 'cause he was a total jerkoff). The problem was: I was hired during the busy season, and w/in 2 months, the large jobs (like Sony and Pennzoil and Mobil 1) were being finished and they started cutting hours. I was only getting paid $9/hr w/ no overtime to begin with. I had just bought my car a few months before, had school loans to pay, and my rent/bills. I was barely scraping by--borrowing sometimes up to $200/month from my bf.

There were no graphics jobs available at this time!! The only ones that were open, required 5 years or more ON THE JOB experience!! What the hell! I had a decent portfolio at the time, so I submitted resumes & CD's, but I never got a single phone call back because I didn't have the required years of experience. So, it was either get a job not related to my degree, or sell my car. Selling the car was NOT an option!! :D

So, Chris worked for ERAC, and said they were hiring. I got hired immediately with my previous sales and customer service experience. The pay is only like $8.71/hr, but we work over 50 hrs/week, so the overtime rocks! I still need more money/month, but I'm still slimming down on some misc expenses. My car repairs have taken a decent chunk out of whatever extra I've had from paychecks, so that's why I haven't modded the car yet. Hopefully, I'll find a better paying job w/in my degree, or get promoted & make $400/month more than I am right now.

The economy sucks ass!!! :mad:

Im a FULL TIME College student with a part time pizza delivery job. Hey dont knock it. I bring home $20-30 in untaxable income everyday :) Thats how I get by day to day, the pay checks pay for the car, slowly but surly. I just wish my manifold would get out of the shop.

The jobs hell on my escort though. And schools hell on my mind.
