hey guys, ive been off the forums for a while, but it was good to be back...

the reason is because i started a job in chicago, for my summer internship. i got an internship with a construction company, and im lovin it!!

if any of you are down town hit me up so we can go grab a beer and chat for a while after work

but anyway, what are all of you doing for summer work??

G-ForceJunkie · 05-19-2004, 07:15 PM

nothing....so far....not too much of a job market in cottage country

So, I'll probably be taking a summer school course in July, then doing some odd jobs, and hopefully make about $500 in August.

Fuel prices in NH just went over the $2 mark this week for regular unleaded. I have a Chevy Tahoe that just cost me over $60 to fill!

You know prices are high when they have rape counselors at the pumps.......

PolarisINDY500 · 05-28-2004, 07:50 AM

G-ForceJunkie · 06-03-2004, 07:12 PM

dayum, just got a job offer for $10/hour, 40hours a week - warehouse work.....but it's 15min from house, an hour and a bit from my cottage....the plan was to stay at the cottage this summer.....tough choice eh!

(Choice is whether or not to take job and stay in Toronto, or go up to cottage and do summer school + odd jobs)

SnowRida · 06-07-2004, 12:56 PM

You should take the job! What are ya waiting for. How do you pay for all the things you say you have?

skidoo_magoo · 06-07-2004, 01:16 PM

"daddy can i have some money???" jk

SnowRida · 06-07-2004, 01:18 PM

sleds - not mine, they're the families
boat - same deal, I have to pay for gas though
kart - I paid start-up cost, dad is paying upkeep (for the most part)
car - I pay insurance, they pay gas (since they'd be driving me otherwise)

I work many oddjobs - snowshovelling, grass-cutting, house-keeping, worked as a janitor for 2 weeks (March break), painting....it adds up, and my only expense really is insurance and gas.....

I'm pretty sure I'm going to take the job, just have a few questions to ask the employer first

skidoo_magoo · 06-07-2004, 04:58 PM

g-force, you're "pay plan" is opposite for what i have to do;

sleds-families-dont pay a dime
boat-n/a
gas r/c car (instead of kart)- dad paid start up, i pay for gas/ extras
future car- i pay gas, dad pays insurance

but i need to get a job when i turn 16... dunno the punishment if i dont. oh yeah, ill be poor...
