Do you have to be 21 to drive one of those trucks?
I know that's a law in Wisconsin, not sure if it's the same everywhere...

i dispatched for roadside automobile service. it's easy and the money was great ($30/hr at 17 years old). i spent most of my shifts reading usenet and chatting on irc.

security is where it's at, my buddy works in a fenced in parking lot where he sits in his car and watches DVDs unsupervised.

i work a night shift in a steal factory, pay is pretty solid 13 a hour, however the hours are pretty rough being 60 hour weeks, 4.30 PM to 5 AM, and also my co-worker is a 18 year old high school dropout.

If you actually meant a 'steel' factory, then you are definitely getting shafted. Steel factory workers up here make like $26/hr and up. Are you sure you aren't the dropout?

Get a job working in a mental health group home on the overninght shift when everyone is sleeping. Some are awake overnight shifts (lots of them people routinely sleep 1/2 or more of the shift anyway) and some are asleep overnight (less pay).

YOu will have plenty of time to do your schoolwork and if you bring a laptop you can use it to play poker on as well (can't really download poker clients on their computer lol).

Just make sure you work in a 'high functioning' (as in the clients are not going to be going spastic or need much in the way of assistance/monitoring except for with the am routines of breakfast/medication.

most of these jobs sound boring when compared to the UPS type job, but everyone is saying they hated working for UPS

What's perfect about this kind of job for a college student is that you can get in a couple hours of studying over the course of the night. So, it's like getting paid to study, and you have more free time when you're not working or in school.

Hotel front desk. You can study during your shift.
