| I've been out of work for a while (yes, I am young, but have had various jobs since I was 15) and when I move in a couple of months to go to college I'm gonna have to go back to the work force! My question is, what can I do that incorporates my laziness and apathy and that will pay well? Or will I have to suck it up do hard labor? Also, my actual question: What do you guys do to get that bread? |

| Secretaries, guidance counslers, DMV peeps are all pretty bitter and apathetic, I'd look into that. I scoop over-priced ice cream for people. |

| I do data entry, it's boring but I like the people I work with so that's good. I sit at a computer and type in codes for diseases and then enter all their personal information. I get to listen to my iPod and talk, and I make $10.50 an hour, it's super easy. |

I work the receiving dock at a department store. Monday-Thursday, no dress code, and once the truck is unloaded, it's pretty much iPod time until the store closes. (I work eight hour shifts, the truck is unloaded by the third hour.)
It's probably one of the easiest jobs out there. I do work with some women, though it's probably not the job an average girl is looking for. |

| I work the cash register at a video store, it's my third job working the cash register in a retail environment. Don't do it. Next week's my last week, I'm looking for a job that is far away from retail. |

This sounds like I can do this. I just want a job where I don't have to deal with people.
Also, I wanted to add that this thread can be used to talk sh*t about you're old jobs/bosses/etc. or why you quit/were fired from your old jobs. |

| I hate people. So every job I have had has been fairly solitary. I was a janitor in a parking garage for a while, it's not really something for lazy people though, it was pretty hardcore physical. I was a sound guy at a concert venue, which involved people, but I told them to go away and they had to. I also got the police to beat up on some rednecks once. That was fun. I worked in a coffee shop once, but you'll never, ever work alone in a retail job. That was just a really bad coffee shop, but I had a lot of fun doing it, lording my power over the store and being paid to drink coffee and smoke for 10 hour shifts sometimes. My wife is a night janitor in a hospital, she cleans up blood in operating rooms. That's a fun job. If you are into being lazy, try getting a union job. If you're in a union, all you have to do is show up. I'm not even kidding. I fucking hate unions. _________________ "Would Hamlet have felt the delicious fascination of suicide if he hadn't had an audience, and lines to speak?" ~ Jean Genet

| I deliver pizzas. It's pretty much the easiest/highest paying job ever. You go home with cash every night (from tips) and you get to drive around listening to music. It's awesome. I make like, $30-$80 a night, plus 5.85 an hour. I usually average out about $15-18 an hour |

Tips are awesome. When I worked in a coffee shop, I'd walk out with 50$ cash every night. I didn't save a penny of it, though, so if you are making mad tip money, please do consider a savings account. You'll be happy you have something in case you need it later. _________________ "Would Hamlet have felt the delicious fascination of suicide if he hadn't had an audience, and lines to speak?" ~ Jean Genet

| I can't get a summer job because my town is so shitty that I can't get a job because college will not allow me to work into the fall............. Yes. college helps prevent me from getting a job. That receiving job sounds awesome, "adamlikesmusic". I wish I could get one like that, but I'm settling for the call center that will hire ANYONE. I could go in there after smoking a bowl and get hired. Seriously, I saw a guy do it. _________________ You're teaching your kids to repeat what you did growing up as a dickhead yourself.

| Pretty much any job you don't directly interract with customers is one where you can easily do high. Most my coworkers get high on break. Whatever keeps you focused, I guess. (I myself don't.) |
