I'm a student in the UK, though I have sold my soul to putin so I have a very nice internship over the summers, and probably a graduate job.

Remember to practice your Middle Eastern accent. Speaking unintelligibly is key to employment there.

I'm just a student, which in Denmark nets me 2800-ish DKK a month.

Dude, if you're netting $0.00 a month as a student in the USA, you're doing pretty darn good.

Well, I'm technically not paying for it. I am, but I'm not because I am legally obligated to use the invested money I was given by my great-great grandmother on college and nothing else. No idea what I'm going to do if there's any left once I graduate. Probably forget about it for 60 years and take it all once I'm old and dying.

I'm working in the IT department of one of the german federal ministries. I'm specialised in Software Deployment. It sounds way better than it actually is^^

Right now I'm looking for a side job that's actually fun. Any Suggestions?

I'm the sole postman in a group of villages up on the nearby mountain. The territory is pretty big, but it's mostly forest and there's only 300 permanent residents. And 95% of the roads I drive on are unpaved. Man, I feel like Kevin Costner :D
Do you blast RAWK as you deliver awesome to people up steep slopes?
Hell yeah. I just wish I could afford a leather jacket and some decorative chrome skulls for my car.

Hematology resident. In two months I end my hospital rotations and enter my department proper. The next year I'll spend half at cytometry and half at clinical hematooncology.

So you should be DrPoo!

I've wanted a job for a while to feel like much less of a mooch and to have money I deserved and can spend without guilt. Dang you people and your jobs!

Man, working for tips is stressful. I remember the days where I could just slack off and do the bare minimum and still get paid fully. I did not know how well I had it.

Working for tips is one thing I swore I would never do. I hate my livelihood being reliant on the good graces of customers.

That said, I did pizza delivery for a while...and the only thing that made it worthwhile was getting the majority of my paycheck in cash at the end of every shift.

Yeah, as delivery I get $6 an hour instead of $2.33 which I think is still more after you subtract gas. And I get part of the delivery fee, which was around $2 extra in the 2.5 hours I worked. Overall this seems like a more reliable tipping gig than most.
