The only real jobs I have ever had were all in research labs doing experiments, etc. I kinda want to get a weekend job or something coz I am so damn bored. What are some fun jobs? I was thinking maybe working at Starbucks will be cool. Maybe Best Buy or CompUSA will be cool too. Anyone have suggestions? I need something mindless here.

Well if you like music I would suggest working at your local indie record store. Seriously I think that job would be so much fun because you'd be constantly exposed to new kinds of music. I'm sure the job itself would be sort of mundane (stocking shelves, checkout, etc.), but you'd get to hear good music all day and help others find good music. Seems like it would be rewarding and fun.

That said, I have never worked in a record store. It could totally suck, I dunno. Maybe someone else has and can comment as to their experiences.

Seriously though, it's not the "where" you work, it's the "who" you work with. I sack groceries right now (at least until Wednesday), it's not a great job nor do i get paid much, but alot of my friends also work up there so I still love going to work. Just have fun at your job, no matter where you go. Get to know your coworkers, that is the key.

Whatever you do, trust me Best Buy is NOT worth it. I've been workign there for a couple months now (I also thought it would be a fun place to work at, consdiering I like going to the store and jsut messing around with stuff). There is absolutely too much BS that you will have to put up with. Most employees are the ones that aren't getting anywhere in life that have been workign there for 9 months+ (mean, but true) or about to quit in few months (me). I've talked to lots of people, they said Circuit City is much better place and thats where most ex-Best Buy employees go. I'm putting in my two weeks tomorrow.

And "who" you work with is true for half of it. It doesn't matter how many cool people you work with though, if you hate the stuff you deal with more.

Heh, wow I had totally forgotten about that movie--good flick. Another great film depicting the life of an indie record clerk is "High Fidelity" with John Cusack and Jack Black--a must-see IMHO.

A job where you are paid, based on your ability to capitalize on people's emotional buying decisions and are not on a set wage. A job where people come with problems and needs, and I can sell them solutions for them. ;)

Looks like commission sales is for me. :D

working at a record store is quite fun. I did it for a year. You do get sick of the people asking for the song that goes do da da do de, but it is nice to be able to crank good tunes whenever you want. :)

hmm, I don't know much of anything about music, so record store probably won't be good for me. I think tutoring will be cool...wait, that would actually require thinking...

Yeah, it's who you work with. I work at Target, and I like it because a lot of friends work there. It's like High School minus all the crap plus 6.50 an hour.

Selling hot dogs and other ball park fair at the ballpark.... Just make sure you are the guy that gets to walk up and down the stands. Now that builds character.
