need a higher paying job

[bandXtrb]

I'm working a supermarket right now, busting my butt to make $6 an hour.

I need a higher paying job, and one where I can sit down. I know computers. Have personal experience putting together systems, troubleshooting, etc. (have A+, started working on MCSE). I also can type pretty fast.

What else is out there for someone like me? (btw, yes, I am going back to college)

edit: So when should I quit? (see my post below)

Move to Oregon. Work for my company. Get screwed, get laid off a year later, get rehired, then get treated like a decent employee.

go to ur school employment office and see if there are any tech jobs for students. those job r usually pretty laid back and easy. and pays better then $6/hr... hopefully.

o crap.. thats aweful.. no offense, but yer not handicapped are ya? 6 bucks! holy cow i found a job pretty easily that pays a few times that at a few years younger age... ask around!

Well, lots of bigger cities have telemarketers jobs available. You can easlily make $10 hour there.

Sucks if you have problems being rejected though.

Other option is tech support.

Tech support jobs can be hard to find, and hard to get into, especially in this market. that's why I said them second.

Okay, I get the picture.

So when should I quit? This is my first job (used to be self-employed), and I don't want it to look like failure to the next place.

Look for data entry, if you can find it they are usually $9-12 an hour. If you have A+ why not look at a local computer store for a technician job?

Just get a second job.
