I have some friends that work at both Home Depot and Lowes, they do pay pretty good...

ya i heard they are pretty good, and they are both right next to each other so i wasn't sure which i should choose. what exactly could i do there, other than cashier? think they'd higher an 18 year old to stock?

warehouse jobs are your friend... 15.00 an hour here 40+ hours a week, and all i do is drive a forklift

thing is i need a job thats flexible with hours, considering i'm going full time at school in a month. i doubt i can do 40 hours, maybe 20-25 tops.

Get a job at any warehouse... Talk to the supervisor to help you learn how to drive a forklift, once you learn how to operate it get a forklift license, Once you get your forklift driver's licence apply somewhere else as a forklift operator they should start you at atleast 10 bucks an hour then once you get that job work your way up...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

That's how I did it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

X2 that's exactly what i did, forklift and towmotor operation looks good on an application at any kind of warehouse, and as stated above, you'll see the salary increase as well

EDIT: and as an added bonus, you never have to deal with heinous customers! woo hoo!

how exactly would you go about getting a fork lift license?

i didn't really get a "liscence" but i did get about 8 hours of training, and i am certified by my company, i am also certified anywhere else, all another place has to do is contact my current employer and make sure im certified.

it's really easy to drive on once youg et the hang of it.

Try to do smog, they pay like 14 an hour, or come move to vegas and do valet for 23 an hour + tips. Yea and Circuit City offered me a job but i denied because retail is on of the most boring things in the world, although 8.50 an hour and good discounts isnt boring.

ha valet would be sweet, but theres not too many places that do that around here. i was thinking maybe an installer at cc or bb, but i dont have any experience with any shops. i mean i can work on my own car and what not, and i pretty much have a good idea, at least more so than some of the people at bb i've seen.
