How easy is your job?

Mine's probably the easiest. I work part-time at a paintball field. All I really do is work at the counter, fill up air tanks, take money, and ref.
I'm outside running for about 9, maybe 10 hours and there aren't really any breaks between games. You get shot plenty of times by children that have just started playing. You usually come off the field at the end of the day with up to 20 bloody welts, it's extremely fun.
The pay is amazing for doing something that fun, anywhere from $40 - $100 per day. Though it does require you to be fit. It's only easy if you've been doing it for awhile.

I used to cut grass back in Texas. It was easy because I had a lawnmower that moved itself once I flipped this handle. The bad thing about it though was that there wasn't a lot of yards to cut and how much gas the mower used. It was easy job at the end of the day though.

I applied at finish line last year and almost got the job until I realized all the training you have to do. You have to memorize all the shoes they sell plus all the current sales and stuff. For two weeks you have to study the product manual then after that you have to do this virtual program about their product line. It was too much and I wound up quitting the job.

I work at a bookstore, and it's a fairly decent job. The pay is... okay, and the work isn't too hard. Except shelving can be somewhat frustrating. Moving an entire shelf of books to fit one book in a specific spot is annoying as heck.
Also, the customers can be downright idiots. Price disparities, not knowing what book they're looking for, etc. I hate when customers come up to me, and say "Oh, um, I'm looking for a book?" and my response is to always grab the nearest book, and say "Here you go!" Seriously, you're in a bookstore, of course you're looking for a book.
All complaints aside, it's probably one of the better jobs I've had.

My job is pretty easy right now that I haven't left for college. I'm a cameraman and I get to video all kinds of sports events, plays, conferences, and stuff like that. I'm my own boss pretty much and the pay is really good. It also feels good to carry around $7,000 in camera equipment, especially when my car is worth about $3,000.
It's actually not that easy though. You just have to not knock your camera and be prepared to stand still for up to 3 hours at a time.

My job is very easy. I trim grass around my city. I drive around all day in a truck with 3 other college students my age. The best part of it is, our city got new mowers, so they cut extremely close to signs and stuff, leaving almost nothing left for us to do. So we drive around, listen to the radio, talk, and and get paid $8.50 an hour, 40 hours a week.
My job is remarkably easy.
It's called eating and sleeping. If I ever need money I withdraw some or request some from my parents.
As for my last job as a Biology tutor, that was bloody easy. By exchange it would equate to like $25/hour. Still, it wasn't a full time job so a couple hours each week to put money on the table for me to gamble away and rot on the streets.

I'm job hunting right now -- but assuming I can go into Harvey's tomorrow and actually find the person that's supposed to read my application. I think bagging groceries part time will be pretty easy.
D: I'm actually doing it more for job experience since some full time places require that. Which I will be getting once I get out of a high school 'till I figure out what I want to do.
Also doing it to save up for a PS3. :D

Look, I know this isnt have anything to do with the topic at hand, but I need to say this to all of you because its something almost everyone except the rich overlook.
You dont do a job to make money.
I hear people all the ****ing time go "WELL DUDE IM GOING TO COLLEGE TO BE SOMETHING SOMETHING SO I CAN GET A BIGGER SALARY" and that has to be the dumbest reason to get a job. Its not even how the rich get rich in the first place. Dude its even a bad secondary reason to get a job.
By this I mean, the rich have money work for them. THey invest money and use their heads to start a business or make a good business decisions(investing) to make money do all the work for more money. THis frees up more time to manage investments and use that money to invest and make more constant money. Call the constant money assets. You want as many of those as you can have. Anybody who is rich simply know how to attain assets and keep them.
All in all, if you want to have a job to make a lot of money or have a job you love and wish to make money and be secure, for the love of jesus almighty go to business school or read one of the THOUSANDS(no exxageration here) books out there on how to do it.
For all those *****es out there who say"THE ECONOMY IS BROKEN HOW DO I INVEST LOLOLOLOL" well even in a downed economy there is business to be made and good investments. Those guys who tell you that havent read a god ****ed thing on investing or business and probably get their information from watching CNN for half an hour.
For example, have you guys ever heard of Carpet Baggers? THey were the dudes who bought dirt cheap houses in the great depression, and sold them for thousands of dollars when the Economy recovered. And thats just one example.
I posted this because I just think that in a thread about jobs where money seems like the main thing a job is about needs to be **** on so hard people dont even consider it a viable option.
Really, if you have financial security and have money work for you and gain dividends on your assets without having to work, you can really do what you love more and contribute to society.

Nobody else noticed the link between him being a pool boy and 'customer satisfaction'? Especially those cougars who are hard to please?
I'm disappointed guys!

I second that. Chunky Puffs, Gravy, Buttered Toast, and Jawbreakers is all I need and I'm straight.
Job searching is at it's hardest during the summer around here in the cul-de-sac. Hardly anyone's hiring.
