Hi everyone,
I currently have a full time job that I don't necessarily enjoy, but I definitely am in need of more money. I have been searching for a higher paying job for over 6 months now with no success. Now my car is out of commission so I need to get a new one before anything else. I was seriously considering delivering pizzas, but that's not an option anymore due to my car. If I have to take public transport I will deal with it. I live at my mother's house in the suburbs and while the buses don't run as often out here, it's sort of manageable. I know the obvious choice is to work at McDonalds or something. I think I just need to get over myself and just apply there. I promised myself years ago that I would never work in the food industry again but I don't see any other choice. I don't have any skills and I am not very good with children. I have a degree, but it's in Poli Sci so it's not very marketable. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a second job? Thanks in advance. |

Have you looked at jobs at your local community college(s)? They often need cashiers for bookstore and registration, relatively simple clerical jobs that your degree would get you entry to try. Once in the school system you could maybe get a better paying full-time job there. Also look at your county government and any other entities like that near you; I applied for a job as a part-time State ticket-taker to get into a local park with a boat ramp, in the summer, a couple years ago and got the interview (but did not go as I did not really want to work, especially during the summer).

Tigerlily, hope that works out for you. You may also want to look at local schools. They need all kinds of people, not just teachers. It would depend upon your availability of course.

Are you able to waitress. That makes a great second job. Quick cash and flexible hours. I do not know your physical limitation.

Nobodyandnothing: I will try and check out local schools also. Thanks for that idea.
MoxieDoxie, I have never waitressed, but that doesn't mean that I can't learn how... and I'm thankfully not disabled. I used to work in a coffee shop, so it shouldn't be too different. In fact, I think I'll apply at coffee shops too, while I'm at it and see what I can come up with. If anyone else has any ideas, please feel free to let me know. Thanks again, I really appreciate it! |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
