Rat race

So as some here know, I had a job working at my schools prop house, I was responsible for people checking out props for their assignments and also for their return. However, at this job I work from 8-5 one day a week and only get paid minimum wage which here is $8.00/hr also during my time at work I had a total of maybe 45 minutes of actual work that needs to be done, so for the rest of the time I merely sat around and either read some of The Count of Monte Cristo or played around in one of our wheelchairs. However fun that may sound it gets quite boring quite fast and if I want to read a book and fool around I'll do it on my time, if I'm at work I want to work, plus the 20 minute commute each way isn't all the fun either. So just moments ago I emailed my boss and kindly thanked him for hiring me and giving me the opportunity to work there and then I told him I could no longer work there, so, now I'm looking for a new job at either a restaurant or a local game stop (which is America's version of eb games).
If you wish to wish me luck or offer a suggestion as to another good job then now is the time to hear it.

Glad to know you're still plunking away at the Count. Good luck getting a job.

But on-campus jobs are awesome, you can do your homework! You should see if your school has any internship connections or co-operative education programs.
