<p>My fellow CCers: What is your current job? How do you like it? </p>
<p>I’m a nanny. I love working with children. It is tough work, but I find it truly rewarding in the end. I work mostly with children between two years old and eight years old. It pays extremely well; $12-15 depending on the family and their needs. I’ve been nannying for about a year, and it will be sad when I eventually transition into another work environment. I cannot imagine myself working with children as a lifelong career, however, but it has definitely built experience for me.</p>
<p>My primary job is an assistant at a library for the blind and physically handicapped. I’m learning a lot, making great connections, making decent money, but it’s pretty boring because my position kind of gets lost in the shuffle.</p>
<p>My next job is a crisis line advocate at a domestic violence shelter. Pays crappy, get treated like servants by the clients, extremely emotionally taxing given that I work the crisis line and the shelter, but very rewarding when a client actually breaks the cycle.</p>
<p>My final job is at a photography place for youth sports. This is nice because it’s outdoors and I really like the people I work with plus I like selling keepsakes. That’s a filler job I basically just do for fun.</p>
<p>I am a full time student, but when i’m at home during the summer I am the handyman person around the house. For example a couple of days ago i put in a new flower bed.</p>
<p>My first job was Note taker for NGO firm. I was getting good amount and i learn lot’s of thing over there. Then i join a research and development company as a executive and done lots of work over there and i get promoted as a chief executive.</p>
<p>I have a job writing background and theme music for instructional videos. Great for recording/software experience, and it pays well.</p>
<p>It’s not the most fun thing to sit in a room by myself with a bunch of equipment and instruments writing and recording really simple ambient stuff, but at least it’s some sort of music job. I’d take it over any normal “summer job” opportunity, for sure.</p>
<p>Over the summer I currently have two jobs, working in the Campus post-office and at the Security office. Both are pretty boring and most of the times I just bum around but at least when I am at the post-office I get to interact with a few people/my co-workers. During the school year I get to sometimes do home-work if nothing happens. </p>
<p>During the school year in addition to these two I also work for Event Security on Campus and at the Campus Pub. Both are very few hours/month but a lot of fun.</p>
<p>There aren’t a whole lot of jobs out here. It’s either minimum wage stuff like Starbucks which isn’t even hiring or internships and entry-level jobs for graduates. Economic recovery my ass haha.</p>
<p>^ Dang, we didn’t make tips at the camp counselor job I worked, but we did get paid closer to $1,500. Horrible pay for the stress load they put on us. Loved this kids. Would never work at that camp again. Ever.</p>
<p>However, right now I’m working as a banquet server for a local hotel. Waitressing, serving, busing, cleaning, set up and take down. Thanks to my job I can now fold a napkin at least six different ways I can think of off the top of my head. </p>
<p>I also take two weeks off of that mid summer to work for a state run high school summer program doing all of their media things. That’s what I’m looking forward to mainly.</p>
<p>I’m carrying out groceries at my local store. I get around $20 in tips per day plus my hourly wage. I work a ridiculous amount of hours, but it’ll be worth it when I don’t need to stress about spending money during the school year.</p>
<p>Starbucks barista. We get tips which are averaged over how many hours you worked that week and split up amongst all the baristas. It’s mindnumbing after awhile. really depends on who you’re working with.</p>
