What are decent places for part-time jobs for college students?

Topic. Don't want a job at a fast-food restaurant where I have to constantly be griped at 24/7.

UPS usually hires during seasonal times. Pretty much any retail store would as well i'd assume.

Working with angry customers can be good for you. Fast food employment can be a humbling experience.

You can be an escort

I spent every summer/christmas break in college working through a temp agency.

paid better than retail/fast food and I got to sit in an air conditioned office all day.

Look for places to work on your college campus? Such as in the library or just as a paper pusher in some department's office.

find a BINGO parlor around your area and apply to be a runner. I made close to what I make now as a programmer; was crazy money.

Probably being a fluffer would have the most "upside"

for the temp agency thing, how does it work?

Want to know the types of jobs you get, any pay they take away from you, agency policies, and other things.

this always worked great for me, in the down time you can catch up on homework and study and get paid for it

1 - if you know how to play poker well, go to some poker halls and play against old people. they suck and just want attention, so you can take their money easily. my friend makes several hundred a week doing this.

2 - if you don't look like butt, you could stip

Santa Claus, baby, Santa Claus.

and beware those itchy white beards they give you. they get so itchy after 4 hours - that is the absolute worst part of the job.

fringe benefit - all ages of women sit on your lap because they want to get their picture taken with Santa.

Don't even bother. You'll probably spend the whole holiday season competing with the desperate unemployed masses who are probably more dedicated and experienced than you are at working dead end jobs.

Don't bother looking for a job after you graduate either. They're all taken. If you get an interview, you will be one of hundreds applying & inexperienced to boot. You have a better chance of winning the lottery. Resign yourself to a life of crushing debt and professional frustration. You're just too late. Sorry.

Computer lab or the uni recreation center. Sit at your desk, do homework, and get paid!
