Sounds like a good plan. There is a job for everyone in the army, if you want to be a warfighter, then come into the combat arms (I am a medic in an airborne infantry brigade)

But if you do not wish to be on the front line there are jobs like personnell administration, fuel lab tech, preventive medicine etc...

There are all types of jobs in the army, the one constant is that it will get you in better shape and make you grow up faster than your peers... where else can at 21 you make decisions that will directly effect other people's lives?

Here are two videos of me and my guys in Afghanistan, the first is all about me, the second is about us goofing around:

I work at Mediacom, High speed internet....that doesnt work!
Yea, Im just an internet tech support rep. Basically I talk to people that shouldnt own a computer all day and tell them to plug there computer in and turn it on and all that jazz. I have to fix the phone service too. Its pretty sweet tho. I got a full medical, dental, eye, and anything else insurance. 401 k I rule you...and I get $11.50 to lurk these boards...Ha! I do most of my lyrical writing here at work.

I want a computer job, I could do so much better than a lot of the techs I've had to deal with.

My ice cream job is pretty sweet. I can wait like 5 minutes to give someone their sundae and I won't get shit at all. The only real downside is I have to deal with "really? you guys had this flavor yesterday! how do you not have this flavor today?" or explain to people toppings are not free.

I'm still looking for a job, partially because I'm disturbingly shy in real life and have always been really nervous about applying for jobs, and really nervous about actually working with people.

Billy, in your avatar, what is on Tom's back?

It's part of his scarf and part of the mic stand in front of him, the crop is just really awkward and makes it look like it's behind him.

I work at this new golf course, number 9 in the country, number 1 in Montana. its minimum wage, but I work outside, with generally nice people. A couple of good friends, and if the weather is decent, I usually walk out with $40-50 in tips.

I'd be unemployed before I'd work outside during the summer, here.

Since I finished uni for the summer, I am back working for the government. Suits are required, dark glasses strictly optional.

Yeah, I sold out.

I actually work for the council, organising kids with places in schools and organising appeals for their parents against denial of entry into schools. So if a kid fails his 11+ test I have Mr & Mrs Fuckwit on the phone telling me the test was too hard, lil' Fuckwit Junior was ill that day, the test invigilator had scary eyes... All manner of excuses. So I sit and get shouted at on the phone most of the day, 9-5, 5 days a week. But at the end of every month I get a little bit nearer to clearing my phenomenal student overdraft, so it's all good.

Seriously though, in the UK, if you're after easy money in a fairly mindless job... Get data input or some form of admin/clerical work. It's boring, but well paid and a comfortable working environment... and if the people you work with are decent, then it's usually not that bad. Plus many offices run a flexi-time system nowadays so you can pretty much work the hours you want. I doubt it's any different in the US either.

my boss always schedules me for the one time i cannot work. saturdays 2-4 because i have a radio show. he knows this. but i always seem to get scheduled.

I applied for a job at Starbucks because a lot of my acquaintances work there and they're flexible with hours. I'm such a sellout, but it feels pretty damn good.

Haha, yeah, sorry. My need for money outweighs my concern for sticking it to the man.
