I am currently in college and am unemployed. My previous jobs would find me racking in enough money to last a day or two. I have to try and save my money while paying for college and food. 200-300 dollar paychecks aren’t enough if I want to balance school and work. If I wanted to make more I’d have to work well over 40 hours and that’s just not possible being a full time student. So is there any jobs that are decent pay for college students? I don’t mean fast food. I’d rather watch paint dry than do that. Fast Food workers are constantly harassed so I’ll pass on that.

And no we're not paying you for all those off-hour stuff you do outside of the stipulated numbers on your contract. But hey at least you have a job amirite?

Longtime lurker first time poster, sorry for the long ass post So I quit my job over the summer to start a business with my brother, took some time off in between, and a good friend contacted me and asked if I could come help out. He manages a quick lube place, and his techs all up and quit one day(painfully obvious why now.) He got in touch and said he would start me at what I was making at my previous job and said it was even negotiable. He said I was worth that much and more but that he couldn’t do much better than that because of the position. I knew it was kind of an entry level position so I was fine with the cap. I mulled it over for a few days and signed on as a temporary thing. One thing led to another and the…

Long time lurker, first time poster. So I was finishing up college in the midwest. It was the spring semester of 2020 and I had accepted a position with a company of a couple hundred people in a small town in the middle of nowhere, hours away from where I was currently living. I asked for compensation slightly above average for grads from my college program. I had pretty good grades and internship experience . I ended up agreeing on $1k less than the average. A month later COVID hits and I get told I would be placed on hiring freeze until August. Alright, I guess just something I’ll have to live with. Well the beginning of June rolls around and I get called and asked if I could start at the beginning of July. But they need me to take a 10% pay cut through the end of the…
