<div class="IPBDescription">Job hunting, wee!</div>So, I have been working at a local movie theater for nearly 2 years now, it sucks, and pays minimum wage. I'm not allowed to do anything, including schoolwork, when business is slow (I work in the box office, so this would be feasible). I'm not getting enough hours. I get less than 20 hours a week. I need money, so this arrangement really sucks.
I don't have a car, I take the bus everywhere, so that makes finding work difficult.
Anyway, what are things that you who are in school do for work? And to those of you who are out of school, what did you do?

if you are in HS, well, stock clerk.
Decent part time gig 15-18 hours a week, couple hours a day. You just gotta keep looking around for a while.. it took me a good couple of months to find my job O_O.
So yes, your college should have something out there along those lines, wait, unless you're in high school, then that might be a bit harder... If not then craigslist has some good postings for random stuff..
If all else fails, go... rob some banks?
...so i joist loiter on these forums or study...
When I first started college, I worked at the front desk for the dorms on campus. I also lived in the dorms, so it worked out nicely. It was about 10 hours per week, so you would probably be doing it in addition to working at the theater or something. On the plus side, there wasn't usually that much to do (except for the 40 minutes of sorting mail during the day), so it was easy to do homework during your shift, or waste time online.
I got my current job without even looking for it. I was a TA for a lab for a couple of years, simply because I enjoyed doing it. As people that were around for longer than me left, I was asked if I wanted to take over doing paid stuff, which actually covered two different positions (one is maintaining the lab by mixing up chemicals, keeping other supplies stocked and stuff, I don't do that anymore because it was boring; the other is running the open lab time on Saturdays, where I get to help people building their projects for the class).
During a few of the summers I worked in the bakery at Albertsons. The union there actually requires that people get at least 24 hours per week, which in your case seems like it would be a good thing.
I'm in my last year of high school but have been working there for about 7-8 months now.
