The job market isn't the best right now...good luck. I didnt even have luck at staples

 

[spanky]

go to your school employment office. tell them u want a computer job and they should be able to give u a list to choose from. at least that's how the work study people in my job get hooked up.

be an escort

 

[sk560]

how about internship or co-op?

 

[yoda291]

Ask your friends who have cushy jobs for a hook up. That's how I got into PCO @ my school, pay's not the greatest(12/hr), but the benefits in free hw/legal software is schweet

Tech. support for Quest DSL or your local flavor. You will probably hate it but you learn a lot.

 

[gopunk]

tech support for your school is good. and my school won't let you work more than 19.5 hrs a week.

I work in my campus computer lab. Sure the pay is lousy but I get to surf the forums and do hw (more of the former) and get paid for it. Plus you get a fancy title to put on your resume (Academic Computing Consultant).

LOL

I've got 3 jobs at the moment.

1) Developer at a dev consulting/training company.
2) Student Assistant at school library's Systems division. (the one I do barely anything to get paid)
3) Teach web dev (2 courses this year) at my school's Mini School program. (My second year doing this. I design a course and teach students.)

I'm applying for a 4th job perhaps tomorrow. I have too many techie jobs so decided to take a job that matches my major. So if I get this one, I'll be working at the school's Asian Research center as a research assistant. They had a tech support position from the same department (and paid $4 more per hour) but I decided to take the more academic job instead. It said "PC and Mac knowledge preferred." - so I said "no thanks."

man, i'm the resident computer consultant at Virginia Tech. $11 a day for 2 hours of work. They still pay even if i don't work. That's right, $11/day, not $11/hr

 

[joohang]

Addendum:

I got job 1) by getting to know my boss at the Vancouver NT User Group and local Microsoft events (he's often the speaker).

I found out about jobs 2), 3), and 4) through the school job postings site.

I got paid $80 CDN yesterday for 5 hours of no work. (Nothing went wrong)

And since I'm only expected to check the pager, I could carry it to anywhere I want. I could be at the arcade for all I care.
