I sell radio advertising. Or at least I try to. I need a better paying job

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I am an account executive for the Cincy Enquirer (ie selling ad space) and am on pace to make about 70,000 this year, which is pretty good for a college student. Do you have a very low base salary or something, most people I know in ad sales make very good money.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Most times if you are selling ads you are working off a very low base salary and then making it up in commission.

 

However if you suck at selling, you make no money.

I work at Del Labs. It's a cosmetic/pharmaceutical packaging plant. My job is basically to make sure the other people on my line have what they need to keep doing their jobs. The work isn't too bad, but the pay sucks.

I'm a bouncer at Chuck E. Cheese.

Counter/dishes/busing tables/hosting at Mellow Mushroom downtown. I could soon get a job that would involve me selling various tours of Charleston to people for a minimum of $300 a week, but according to my friend that does this they almost never make the bare minimum but rather a few hundred dollars more per week.

Seriously, I guess I would count as......... student. I don't work work. But school is almost like work....more like slave labor but its a bit like work.

I'm a computer technician for the Montreal School Board. I wait in my office until one of the 7 schools assigned to me call saying they have a problem. I drive to it and repair everything.

 

That pays really well.

Wow, I noticed that this board DEFINITELY has a higher collective IQ than most other pop culture sites.  The quality of discussion is definitely better...and that it's wholly boom or bust with success in this thread.  Besides Dames, there's nobody here who's truly middle class.  It's either economist or janitor in this thread.  Wow.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Eh. Economists are middle class, at least those of us who work for the man. If I actually wanted to toil and work in the private sector, then I wouldn't be middle class.

 

But fuck that, I like my free time.

I work on straight commision (was on a "draw" for my first nine months). I am doing ok, but I'm in a very small market, selling a local AM and two FMs. I've only been in the biz for a little over a year now, so I still have a ways to go 'til I'm making decent money. I guess I do like it (more freedom than a typical job, no weekends, etc). However, it is quite challening, and I'm not sure it's something I want to do for a career. All of the cold calling and dealing with objections can get kind of old, etc.

I work for a small chain of sportsbars at 2 of their locations, doing whatever the hell they want me to, Buss / Host / Dish / Kitchen Help / Indoor/Outdoor Up keep.

In my defense, I'm still in high school.

 

 

 

Mule rental is much more fun I bet, but the vet bills are insane. You'd be amazed at how many people rent them just for the sole purpose of beating them.

I LOLed at this. Can I put it in my sig?

After the scooter thing, you getting that tours job would officially make you "most-harebrained-job-havin'-person-I-know."

Please do, it's infinitely more interesting than the data entry that I actually do.

[Guest Vitamin X]

I'm a film/digital production major in college (Miami International University of Art & Design, part of the Art Institutes system) and I've been working at Starbucks for about six months now exactly on the 14th. Most of these dull part-time jobs I get pretty sick of and quit around this time, not because of any real particular complaint, but unless I work with pretty cool people and I don't for the most part.. and the ones that are, are leaving around the end of the month or so.

 

It's an okay job for what I get paid for ($6.75/hour plus an extra $2/hour in tips a week, roughly), but I hate cleaning and it's just clean, clean, clean, clean, clean. Best experience I ever had in food service was when I worked at Domino's, mostly because there's some cleaning/dishwashing to do, but not nearly as much as say, where I am right now. And you don't have to deal with customers face to face for the most part, since every Domino's I know is carryout/delivery only.

[Guest Vitamin X]

I'm a projectionist / manager for a popular American movie theater chain.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Now this is something I'd actually like to get into. How is it, and how did you go about getting to be a projectionist? Did you have to pay dues as an usher or something first, because that is something I absolutely refuse to do.

Up until 2 weeks ago, I worked for the state government as an Inspector II/Enforcement Agent for Alcohol Beverage Control Commission. I inspected bars, restaurants, gas stations/carryouts for complying with the state and local beer/liquor laws. I also worked undercover at the same type of locations (in a different region than the ones I inspected), and tried to make underage buys with an underage operative that I hired. I was hired on temporarily until an open position came about, but my time ran out and I have to wait on a permanent spot to come to fruition before I can go back.

 

I am still getting paychecks until the end of this month, so I am currently writing a book, considering going back to being a bouncer for some cash flow, and scouring the area for a well-paying job that I wouldn't mind doing.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah. I'm going to miss working there whenever I have to leave and get a real job. Day shift is awesome. Besides regular prep-work, I make myself do one odd cleaning chore every day I work and I still usually have about and hour or two extra to just sit around and read or listen to music.

 

Night shift isn't quite as great as it's busier and since I'm supposed to be a boss I have to set a good example and can't just sit in the office like I can when there's no one there during the day. There's more people, though, so I can usually have at least one or two good conversation's depending on who else is working that night.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Yeah Domino's was great, but the thing was, is that I got in an accident there on shift (not my fault, but they still didn't want me doing deliveries for a while as a precautionary measure) so I got moved to working inside instead and I turned out to be the best person they ever put on working the phones. Whereas everyone's order dollar (which is how much you average your sales for every phone call you take) was around $14-15, I usually hit $20+ at the very minimum. So I ALWAYS had to work phones, and I like doing other things so I don't get bored, so when I moved first to Miami I took that as my opportunity to quit rather than try and get a transfer or anything. Besides, I get the feeling working in the neighborhood where I lived/live would suck ass.

When I used to work at a theater, our projectionists were unionized. They had NOTHING to do with the other staff there, so you don't have to "break in" as an usher, etc...

My order dollar's around $18 or so but I make up for it by having an order time average or about 40 seconds.

I work for my step dad's lobbying firm, where basically I am the gofer. Also I am the webmaster for one of our clients websites. Also I go to school for a degree in Multimedia Communications which I would like to use to get a job with the Comms/Media Relations Department at Disneyland or to go into radio or advertising.
