Night manager at a grocery store. I make $11 an hour and have at least 40 hours a week. Not the most interesting job, but I get to do whatever I want.

Which makes you wonder about some people's choice of employment...

In other unrelated news, I just won the table tennis tournament here at the office, crushing all opposition in my path.  Boo-yah!!

I just got another job for the fall today. Just what I need. I am Editor-In-Chief right now for the campus paper, but I only have two weeks left.




Job 1)
- Job- Online Editor of the Central Florida Future, the campus newspaper for the University of Central Florida.

-Wage- $100 per issue, three issues a week.

-Hours- Most all of the work is done outside the office, but I do come in at the end of production days and upload the content online. In total about 35 hours a week.

-Pros- Great experience in working online, because the industry is moving online

-Cons- It still has the stigma of being the campus papers, so people don't consider it "real."




Job 2)
-Job- Staff writer for the Winter Park Observer, a smaller community paper for Winter Park, Florida. This is the one I just got today.

-Pay- $50 per story, three stories a week, so $150 per week. That is the minimum, I can write more for an extra concurrent $50 per story.

-Hours- About 15 hours a week.

-Pros- Working at a "real" newspaper. I really like the city of Winter Park. Not a whole lot of hours required. I work with awesome people

-Cons- Not much pay, 30 minute commute to work.




Job 3)
-Job- Freelance writer for the Seminole Chronicle.

-Pay- $75 per story.

-Hours- Freelance, so I only get paid per story, no matter the hours I put in, but usually not that much

-Pros- Great money, good circulation number for a county-wide newspaper so I get my name out there.

-Cons- They rarely ever hire people full-time, so I will pretty much be stuck doing freelance work for a while.



Job 4)
-Job- Resident Assistant for on-campus housing at UCF.

-Wage- $100 per week, plus an 85% discount on my apartment, so I only pay about $120 per month to live there.

-Hours- One night a week on duty, 4 weekends per semester. Plus, random scheduled tasks like programming and such

-Pros- Gives me a cheap place to live.

-Cons- Pops up as a conflict when I try to write news stories on campus, generally takes up too much of my time. Probably going to quit soon.

My employment wasn't a matter of choice so much as it was a matter of availability and necessity. As, I would imagine, is the case with many of the young workers here.
