Re: Relatively high paying entry level positions

so you are looking for a full-time job that pays like 15 bucks an hour and will put up with your irregular schedule. oh and it has to be entry level because you have no skills or experience. hahahahahahah good luck retard [/ QUOTE ] In Phoenix, these jobs are dime-a-dozen. CSR/Telemarketing jobs are everywhere and making $12-15 is standard. Super flexible on schedule. Nights, weekends, split-shifts. Depending on where you are, this may be a good option. Talking on the phone probably sucks an easy way to make a few bucks.

Re: Relatively high paying entry level positions
If you live in CA the obvious answer is to whore yourself out to politicians as a paid signature gatherer (You know, those guys that sit in front of Target and annoy people). It's seasonal work, but if you manage money well and work hard when the money is good then you can survive the year on this job alone. You need no experience. You just have to be good at harrassing people and getting them to sign your crap even if they really don't believe in it.
I was making $25-30/hr this summer on the eminent domain and legislative term limit issues. In the past it has been as good as $100/hr. Best is when there are 10 issues out a time. Get one person to sign them all and you probably made $20. Casino initiatives pay the most. I remember when there was two of these out at a time. One was put out by tribes and was pro-tribal gaming. One was put out by non-tribal casinos and was basically anti-tribal gaming. They paid $3 each and with some finesse you could get most people to sign both.

Certainly legal issues too. We can skew the issue in our pitch, but we can't pay people to sign. I do get away with a free candy bowl though. Kids are excellent at luring disinterested parents over for free candy. Hah, on one occasion I got tired of competing with some homeless looking fellow selling candy bars so I bought his entire box and proceeded to give them away. Luckily he didn't come back with more. Even if I did have folks lining up (which I did for the Gray Davis recall), the math wouldn't be that good. They have to print their name, sign their name, and put their address, city, and zip code down. So we're looking at around 20-30 seconds.

I was going to let this thread die but since people bumped it I thought I'd comment and let people know that entry level sales are what I've decided on while I finish up school. I got hired as a 24 Hour Fitness Sales Rep today, so I'll see how that goes. To everyone that took my post seriously and contributed something of value, thank you. [/ QUOTE ] IN YOUR FACE NT!

Re: Relatively high paying entry level positions
Malachii,
I will be the one to take your question seriously as I was in the same position as you just a few years ago. This is the period where you're not trained enough to get high paying jobs, but you're not so low that you are just a fast food worker. The fact that all of the posters in this thread are mocking you by giving joke answers such as the oats or the 3000 people saying become a waiter is just kind of disturbing to me. You seem to be an easy-going guy who is trying to make a few bucks while still in school. That is completely respectable. When I was 19 I was in the exact same position and was able to have a few options of where to make relatively high money while working entry level. I really wish posters in the twoplustwo community would just level with the OP's and give honest feedback rather than waving their internet penis trying to make other internet penis wavers laugh. With all that said, I reccomend waiting tables at a restaurant type establishment.
