Full time college student majoring in architecture, work as a cashier during breaks and summer.
Real Job
No Frills supermarket customer service. Locally owned grocery store. Has its ups and downs. Wages are fitting for a 19 year old college student working a part (but full time hours) time job. I sell cigarettes, lotto, dry cleaning, refunds, calls, complaints, exchanges, tons of s**t. #1 retailer of Lotto in Nebraska, so its busy a lot.
Perks = I listen to music I want, entertain myself by drawing and texting all the time, can watch TV and s**t so I watch news which is good for me, sports etc, and just blast punk music to scare people. Only 4 people are custoemr service. Me, my roomate Brandon (Carlton585 on here with the white EJ8 turbo coupe), a friend Nick who works at a tattoo shop also and is as amazing and crude as me when it comes to musical taste and vulgarity, and an older lady.
Downsides = corner of town so lots of people from the little farming communities come in for groceries, and thats 90% of our business, which happens to be stupid f**k rednecks who ALWAYS ask stupid s**t like about my ear rings, since I don't look normal, and are tightwads and want refunds when s**t is 10 cents too much, but that's expected from everyone, because people suck.
Because its locally owned, they're kind of tightasses as well, like district managers come in all the time, and the guy that owns the company, and he's an old piece of s**t money hungry jew (literally) and fires people on the spot for doing stuff wrong. They make stupid decisions because its all Nebraska dumbfucks running it who think they know whats going on, like giving us $5 store coupons for christmas bonuses.
I will continue there until I find something better.
Not a job, yet, hopefully
Photos. I get paid in weird amounts randomly for doing photos, based on talking to someone about what it is, etc. I've gotten cash for shooting a wedding, many cars, events, etc. I've traded goods for doing senior photos for someone, other stuff like that. I love photos, I want to do this.

I work 42.5 hours detailing Volkswagen's and Kia's at Garvey VW/Kia out here. Its only $8/hr, but with 40+ hours, its kinda good. Plus, I get to drive around V'Dubs all day long, and wash/wax cars, which I like. So yea, I like my job. We got the music blarin' so we cant hear any of the mechanics bitchin. Only bad part is, when people come in to get their car washed, we have to stop what we're doing, and do their car within 20 minutes, no matter what else we have going on. Like today, we got a 2006 Civic trade in (with 34k miles on it!), and it sat in my bay from 8AM, until 4PM, because we had alot of people coming in for washes, and we had abunch of cars that were in for service, that needed washing. So yea...I do alot of multi-tasking.
Full Time Police Officer
40+ Hours a week, $26,372 salary(woo..)
Part Time Student
Forensic Science
After my 1-year probationary period, I'll be eligible to move into another department, which will be either CSU or Homicide. Haven't completely decided yet. More money and no more f**king patrol ftw.
Oh, and if I like it.
I love the end result of what I do, but dealing with dumbfucks all day who think it's your fault that they broke the law gets old. Once I'm in my actual career department, I'll love it.
