Summer jobs for noobs

Owning my car is cheaper.

You pay less than 100/month for your car? Gas, insurance, repairs etc.. all included?

I don't pay insurance. Parents didn't want me to give up the car (easier for me to visit them), so they pay for it. I've never had anything broken on the car I couldn't replace myself.

The only thing I am finding frustrating is changing the power steering fluid and brake fluid. (PITA) I'll do that eventually again...

Gas is less than $100/month sometimes. It depends. If I just stayed in Seattle then it would be(barely... gas mileage dies fast here), but I do take trips that are an extra 400+ miles onto the odometer. Sometimes twice a month too.

Considering you had two internships in high school and started in a top five engineering school... I am not surprised you got at least one offer. But still, what were you applying for, or sending out, that got you shot down 80+ times?

He was applying for a life and determination.

 

[Gibson486]

You failed miserably then. I've seen people with less experience hit higher numbers.

(Hey,hey,hey, like my anecdotal evidence like you all like to claim?)

LOL...TridenT is saying I failed.

Just because you saw it happen to other people does not mean it will happen to you. That is what everyone here is trying to tell you. Yes, just because people tell you you should go out and get an internship does not mean you will get one. Also, the inverse is that because you feel like you cannot get one does not mean you should not apply for them. You get where we are going with this?

I stopped reading this thread a while ago but is Trident still making up excuses why he can't do something?

I think that sums up just about every Trident thread.

Unfortunately, people like him are too common even in their 30s or 40s. They ask for advice, but no matter what advice you give them, they come up with 20 different excuses why your advice won't work for them. I know a lady in her early 30s like that and I've learned to just write them off and stop offering advice. It isn't worth it. If they really know it all, I guess they can figure it out themselves.

Any ideas for a job for me to get over the summer?

I have almost no redeeming talents or values. I do have a couple tickets on my MVR. (Speeding)

Not many McDonalds up here.

OP Reported for Trolling

Then you should have mentioned your parents pay for the insurance when you said your car is cheaper. Look I'm in a similar situation parents pay for most of my food etc but I would mention this in such a thread.

1: Save up $50
2: Buy 1/4 Oz of Marijuana
3: Sell Gram-by-Gram for $70
4: Profit!

You must know some stupid fucking drug users. Why would anyone pay $70/gram of shit $50/.25oz weed?

I am in the CS program. (And that's first year as far as anyone is concerned) You were at UW, dude. They have so many internship resources... It's ridiculous.

Haha, they do. I go to UW and after looking for internships all Spring I got one at a non-profit student organization created by the school. Awesome.

Hahaha, 'handers' What Did Randy call them in South Park? I'm sure he had a funny name. In the shake-weight/creme fraiche episode.

"Good Old-Fashioned"

I see reading is not your forte.

UW has a huge fucking career/jobs/internship/whatever service online... You can't access it until you're enrolled unfortunately. (That's too late for me because I can't enroll until late June I think?)

 

[Locut0s]

Seriously TridenT why do you complain so much? I'm in a worse position than you and I don't complain this much.

 

[TridenT]

Because I have high standards.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Because I have high standards.

Moving home b/c you won't find a job to pay your rent is having high standards?

 

[Farmer]

Because I have high standards.

So what is your background? GED?

 

[Locut0s]

Because I have high standards.

Another cop out. I can guarantee you your standards are no higher than mine.

A suitable job. A job that is worth having. There is no reason for me to get a job flipping burgers. That will not be something that people go, "Oh, he flipped burgers. HE'S HIRED!"

"Oh, he hasn't worked a day in his life. HE'S HIRED!" is equally unlikely. As a 1st or 2nd year community college student, you are not above flipping burgers for money.

Moot point I guess if mommy's paying the bills.

Would pay your damn rent and not force you to move home, loser.

There is nothing wrong in doing that, rather than sitting alone you can make some addition income. I know a lot of friends who worked as janitors to pay for books and rent.. and most of them are now working in Forbes 500 companies. Get a life you pathetic loser.

 

[Jeffg010]

Not sure if this was said because I stop reading after the 4th page but just get a job watching the computer labs at school. My college needed people to watch the computer labs and since my major was CIS I got priority over the other majors.

Why have you never had a job?

TridenT you troll so hard its fucking unbelievable
