Where did you work while attending school?

In highschool I worked at a Greek restaurant. I was the only non-Greek kitchen worker, which included many duties both in and outside the restaurant. This was in a small town, and the restaurant itself was surrounded on all sides by fields where they grew their own vegetables and kept rabbits (as pets, not for food.) The owners worked us really hard, but every night you got a free meal (even things like steak) and on the weekends, free drinks. Me and this one cook had the job of cleaning the kitchen every friday and saturday night, so after the kitchen closed we’d pound a few rum and cokes, smoke a joint and then get to work.

Now I work in a boring office.

Sold clothing in retail stores. Worked in several different ones over the 9 years I was in high school and college. They included: Merry-Go-Round, Le Chateau, Macy’s, and The Limited.

I didn’t work while I was in high school, but when I went to CC, I worked at a pizza place.

I plan on continuing my education this fall and I also plan on keeping my job working in a factory.

In college, I worked in an evo bio lab. In grad school, I worked as an intern with the Queens Library Healthlink Project.

I worked in a Liquor Store, much to the consternation of my Mother. I worked a couple days in a trophy shop, and at a radio station. I spent 2½ years at Kentucky Fried Chicken as a cook.

I worked in a hospital for about five years (high school and beginning of college), then I fixed databases for four years (after college and into my first year of graduate school).

In high school I worked at my dad’s real estate office. In college I worked for the college as a professor’s assistant. That was a good job.

In high school, I worked at McDonald’s.

At uni, I worked for the survey research lab that was a cooperatively-run dealio between the sociology department and the UW-Extension. I was the one who called back people who’d refused once already and tried to cajole them into doing whatever survey it was. It was the best paying undergrad job on campus, which didn’t say much.

At the beginning of my fourth year as an undergraduate student, I began working as a tutor for the University Writing Center. I get paid a decent amount of money and am able to choose hours that fit my schedule. The other tutors are fun to work with, too.

My little crap town had very few jobs for high school kids, so I didn’t get my first one til freshman year in college. It was on campus, in the Student Services building.

I never had a job until I graduated and moved to London. It wasn’t as big a shock as I had expected.

During the holidays when I was at school I worked at a British Army Base Supply Depot in Germany, I was in charge of the warehouse full of mattresses. When I was at college I had a Saturday job in the bakery of an ASDA (Wallmart to you guys)

Restaurants, nannying, resident assistant in dorms, odd jobs such as babysitting, and I interned.

I started my working life working at a printing factory for an hour every day after school for £10 a week!

I then went on to work as a waitress in a hotel. Luckily I lived in a very touristy area so jobs like that were easy to find.

I worked for an estate planning lawyer a few days per week, doing secretarial work. Then when he wanted too many hours out of me that I could not do, due to school, I got a job for a financial firm answering phones and doing clerical work. I scheduled school so that I was either all day at school or all day at work, not part school, part work. I did not want to be rushing from school to work or vice versa, and I enjoyed my leisurely days on campus.

That was college. While in high school, I did not work.

In high school I worked at a coffeehouse and a convenience store. The convenience store was fun because we got like one customer an hour, so we just stood around shooting the shit.

In college I worked at a sushi restaurant. We were right off campus and open til midnight, so we had a lot of drunks. My friends would always visit me during my shift. After that I worked in an adult toy store. That was fun, too, because the staff was all indie-alternative types and we had a lot in common. We were right in the middle of the city. We didn’t have many customers either, so we spent most of the time going on coffee breaks and chipotle breaks. The last time I went in to visit, my friend was watching tv on her laptop and the new guy was sitting on the counter playing guitar.

I quit school on my 16th birthday and got a job, the same day, at the plant I still work at. Eight more years to go…...

I worked at Sonic in HS. My folks made me quit though, because I was falling asleep in classes the next day.

In college (second time around, when I actually received a diploma) I ran a full time daycare from my house, while raising 3 kids of my own and to school full time.
