Part Time Jobs

I'm currently a high school senior and i know college is a long time from now and i may have changes of heart by then. However, does anybody suggest getting a part time job during freshmen year of college? Are decent paying part time jobs available? Examples of places you have worked before part time.

Any input would be helpful.

And the main reason i feel like getting a part time job is because my resume looks like crap right now and i just want a little cash.

Thanks.

@ ohsoclumsy

You can have a part-time job during the summer to earn cash.

I suggest a part-time job during the school year only if you have federal work-study. Freshman year in college is a time to grow and explore new things. Focus on learning college life and doing well in courses. I recommend working while in school once you become an upperclassman (sophomore year and higher).
