Occupation question

[VTranX]

Whats the best paying job that you've had with only a high diploma/GED? I'm a part time student at a Community college and at the same time work full time 2nd shift from 5pm to 1am (sometimes early depending on work load) and average around 20/hr(depending on how much work I do in a certain time-frame). It's not an easy job but pays good and it's better then working at mcdonalds lol. Just wondering what other options there are for students.

post office making $21/hr but it is IMPOSSIBLE to get in now

I was a web designer and programmer with only 2 years of college (and a 1.8 gpa) and I was making a decent 55 grand/year. You can do it freelance pretty easy for a couple thousand a month. Although after 5 years of back end coding you might want to jam your eyes out with a knife. After awhile the meticulous nature can get to you without a lot of patience.

That's big time cash. My buddy owns one... but the past 2 years... he can't find people to get their lazy asses up in the morning. He has major accounts.

How do you find customers?

[firehoyt]

Try UPS/FEDEX they usually pay well and they have shifts that will work around a school schedule. You may be loading/washing trucks but it might work for ya.

its not like you need to pick winners

[chargers4222]

the person who said selling drugs is right. though i would be happy with 20 an hour because i'm not even sure your community college degree will ever get you anything better than that

Grow some pot and sell it on campus. You can easily make 5k a month with a 10 by12 room.

When I was in college I did pizza delivery, and I also drove a cab...Made a decent buck for a college kid.
