OMG! that's pretty tiring working two jobs in one day!

how do you manage your time?

 

[The Boff]

i am so tired. 14 hour shifts on sundays suck! i just wanted to share my angst with people. goodbye and goodnight!

 

[bakashijinsan]

WHOA!

I was just working for a 10 hour shift and I was all complaining to my supervisor about the work load, and you guys are either working 14 hours shits or going two jobs a day?

Man! I salute both of your dedication! *salutes*

 

[bax]

Yeah, you guys sure work hard. I'm on the hand, has to go to uni as well as working. But as a computer technician (part-time), I guess the workload depends on how many customers are there. Sometimes, it's so busy but there are times when there is no works at all

 

[DemonDays]

Dang, i feel lazy now.
Im 17 and in college and i dont have a job, while all you people are out there beavering away.
I should really get one shouldn't I?

the worst i had to go through was 4 jobs and school. it was glorious

well its totally your choice but if you want a good life experience besides school you should consider a part time job. sure school is good and all that but in my opinion everyone should see how it is in the real life when youve completed your studies. plus it looks good on your job applications. shows that you have determination and some experience with a job.

but ofcourse its your choice

*bashes his head on a wall* grr.... i need to get out my notes before i go into those language threads, its been too long since ive had anyone to practice on...

ok, that randomness is over

i have one job, thats it. i work between thirty and fourty hours a week at *fears everyones reaction* mcdonalds. im a crew trainer, making just over minamum wage, so basicly i put up with jerks as customers (whom i must be nice to) and jerks as new people (whom i can have fun with.... but im not spost to). i also close and do dishes there, so i get to do all the grimy work that no one else wants to do. i get home usaully about 1:30 in the morning, but im mostly nocturnal, so it dont matter. im prolly gonna join the navy soon, and threw them go to college/uni. i want to get into the u of arizona, learn computer programming, and hopfully get down to mexico when i dont have class and pick up the language again.


EDIT: lmao, oh my noobness... trying to look back at older pages i hit the "veiw last thread" button instead of the "page X" button. after seeing posts about christmas, i thought suddenly that i had not only posted in the wrong thread, but also revived a really old thread. XD brain farts rock!

all the more impressive. wow! it seems here in our place, it's quite impossible to get two jobs unless the other one is a sideline job (one you can do anytime you have a free time)

4 jobs What did you do back then?

 

[The Boff]

where are you from?

4 jobs What did you do back then?

i studied monday to wednesday in school, 8am - 4pm.
thursday and friday i interned as a photographer at a local newspaper. i think it was 9am - 3pm.
saturdays i helped out at a music and dvd store during the day.
and on some evenings and nights i was at the cinema where i still work, even sundays.
and on the evenings when i wasnt on the cinema i was at the rec center where i still work.

it was a tight schedule but a good experience. and i earned a hell of a lot of cash those 7 months, now im a pooooooooooooooooooooor man
i didnt have rent and studentloan debts and stuff like that back then.

 

[bakashijinsan]

where are you from?

from the Philippines. here, you can't be having a job on one day and a different job on another. mostly, jobs here require you to work at most five days a week. part time jobs are either 4 hours a day for 5 days or 8 hours in two days and a 4 hour shift on one day for three consecutive days (hope you got that )

it is very rare for us to have a job which entitles you to work on a particular day that's why most of the students cannot handle the pressure of having a part time job much more a full time job since work days always coincide with school days unless you're in college and doesn't have a regular status (meaning you have more vacant time than you class time).

I just saw that! 4 jobs! OMG! oh well, such is the economic stature of our country. can't even get a decent job here even though you finished a bachelor's degree. *sigh*

 

[ILUVATAR]

i see i am the lucky one here.... my father is an electrician, i am going to uni to become an electrician myself and every time i have free time from uni i help my father in the construction fields
i get the lowest payment from a normal worker at my father's service but what the hell..... he is my father i can get money from him anytime i want not that i do it very often, i have full control over my money i am better than my parents at this. money money money j/k
and btw i can say i have two jobs AND going to uni right now, don't even think that it is easy >.>

complicated but i think i got it and most jobs here do have regular hours like those you explained. but i got lucky. right now i work about 4 days a week at the cinema and its mostly only in the evenings/nights. and in the end of each month we ourselves put together the workschedule, so i can mix and match my days so my jobs dont bump in to each other. and the rec center is mostly on weekends so i try to not work on the cinema those days.

whats a bachelor degree?

 

[bakashijinsan]

whats a bachelor degree?

oh! sorry... we call degrees in college bachelor's degree be it Bachelor in science or bahelor in arts. if you graduate here, let's say as a teacher, you should have a degree in Bahchelor of Science in Education. Something like that.

ok then, that clears up a bit

 

[rabb]

a bach degree is a two year degree. we also have masters, which is four years, doctorates which is (i not really sure about this one) six years and usaully a published work. we have lots of degrees. i have a regents degree, but thats just an over-hyped highschool deploma. i wanna write... ya know, be an author. my mind is always thinking up crazy stuff, so i think id be good at it, if i got some education. yups, i needs to be edge-u-ma-cated. my spelling and gramer can be caught by spellcheckers and eagle eye people, i need to know how to make it more interesting. well thats my ten year plan: enter navy, get free ride threw college, start to write books.

 

[Ayah]

The length of time it takes to get a bachelor's degree depends on what you are taking. There are three year degrees and fours year degrees, and that does not include anything that could hold you back for at least a term (shifting to another degree program, failure in a prerequisite course, etc.).

 

[bakashijinsan]

yep yep! that's true Ayah! there are so many guys here in our course who extended their school life to seven years instead of the normal 5. and there's one here who was enrolled before us and now that we graduated, he's still in his 4th year.

 

[bax]

I guess it depends on what courses you take in uni. Well, here where I am, critical courses such as medic and engineering may take 6 years to finish. Yet again, depending on the degree of medic and engineering.

 

[ILUVATAR]

well, in my uni to "normaly" pass through the course to become an electrician you will need 4 years, the REALLY SMART GUYS can pass in 3,5 years O.O but some other may need even 6 years (guys like me for example ^^
does any of you miss high school or elementary school? T_T i miss all my friends. i was seeing them every day that time but now i see them almost once in a month and i miss their company. so many memories and good times
