757 Job help
Hear me out through this one.
I'm working at a bowling alley right now, nights, making $7.50. That equates to a huge $800 after taxes a month, considering the hours I work(70). With the next semester creeping up, I am realizing that I can't afford my bills(~$400), and pay for school. I'm currently selling my paintball gun, which is the only thing I do other than work(and soon school). I'm pretty much having to end my life to pay for school. I'd like to work a job making ~$9 an hour. I figure with that much I could pay my bills, goto school and continue to hang out with my friends like I do(usually dinner/bowling a few nights a week). My problem is I don't know what I am looking for to fit my criteria. All I want is night hours, sundays off. I don't need a job with benefits, because as long as I'm in school I'm covered. I've never worked a decent paying job, this is as high paying as I've had . I figured I'd post this here, since you all work in the 757. What kinda jobs should I be looking for that will fit my criteria? VaB preferably, but I can commute a little. I remember a post in Off topic about ages and what you make, and I remember a lot of people my age or younger making more than I'm even looking for, so I know these jobs exsist, I just don't know where to look. Thanks for the help. Maybe if I get a higher paying job I could even paint my car and get rid of the two-tone look.

Re: 757 Job help
I've worked at a bowling alley, car dealership and a gym the last couple years. I've handed out towels and cleaned, drove cars around and now I run a register. Pretty much the only useful experience I have is with a register. Knowledge - outside of a private school education, I know paintball, video games, Toyota cars(was a salesman for a month). I'd say I've got a pretty much basic knowledge of most things. I went into this current job knowing a little bit about bowling, but nothing of working at a bowling alley and picked everything up in pretty much a day or two. I'm a pretty quick learner, and I'm pretty reliable when it comes to working.

Oh yeah, that reminded me. I'm pretty good on a computer and have no problem sitting at a desk.
