Hey guys,

Soon I will be attending college in the pittsburgh PA area. (Pittsburgh Technical Institute) and starting July 25th.

I got an apartment at Chestnut Ridge apartments(very nice) and ill be living with my Gf.

Deal is.. Shes fresh out of cosmetology school and will be getting a job come july 10th or so.

The rents pay for my S2k, all the expenses such as tires, covered garage, insurance and any maintence etc. I will be using a 98 Jeep grand cherokee as a daily driver though.

I need a job to pay the rent, gas, utilities, groceries, Misc stuff that comes up.. also somethings that i havent listed that i forgot about..

I need to know what companies are good to work for when in college????

I looked at UPS mainly which pays 9.50 with about 20 hours a week and only 4-5 hours a day.

I need a job that will pay decently well - 6.50 at least! - and will work around me..

My school schedule is 7:30 am - 12:30 PM

Do you guys know anybody in Pittsburgh or any companies that you worked for while in college that could really help me out???

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!! I will be able to start JULY 1st or end of June!! Im 17 and experienced in retail!

 

Bartend or waiter. You wont make more money doing anything else, even if you spend twice the time.

 

Agreed. I waited tables at a fine dining restaurant. It may be tough to get your feet in the door right away to a fine dining place, if you've never served before, but it's a great gig for a college kid. I always had lots of extra money in college. A price you pay for getting home smelling like cigars and filet

 

lol..

I hate restaurants.. i worked as a bus boy for a classy restaurant and hated it.. quit after 2 months..

I just dont think i could work for min wage and deal with those people all night.. plus thats working all night friday sat and sunday..

I dunno, i just hate restaurants.

Thats not to say that i wouldnt do it, id just hate every second.

 

Sunglass Hut - You work by yourself, so there's no manager breathing down your neck. Once winter sets in, no one wants sunglasses, so it basically turns into paid study hall. Plus, you get a good discounts on glasses.

 

do u have any web development skills?

 

Kai Wang...

Some skillz nothing crazy though..

I applied before at sunglass hut but they were looking for a fulltimer...

I know that they pay good money though.., 6.50 i think here, i like the study hall idea. lol

 

Bus boy isnt waiter/bartender. Also, you wont find another job that pays you 300-500 a night cash. Suck it up and look for this job.

 

300-500 A NIGHT??? BEING a WAITER????

Where did you work as a waiter and make this kinda money???? IM THERE!!!

Even 100 a night!! Im there!! Where did you work???

 

Well, I bartend in NYC. NYC isnt like most places, so you might be talking half the money on a good night. If you have a nice restaurant around, and the average tip is 15-18%, you can do very well.

Most good bars in NYC, the bartenders will walk with 400+ easy on a friday saturday night. I know some bartenders that crack 1100 a night on the weekends.
