FIRST and Part Time Jobs

Iwas just curious to see how many students on teams have part time jobs and where do u work?

I work in the mens dept at Sears

I have a part- time job at 01-1509 RadioShack in Hooksett N.H. It keeps me busy, and my mind on technology.

i mow grass for my cuz’s business. it’s kinda hard to get a paycheck this time of year. i have to survive for the winter and try to save enough $$cashmoney$$ to pay for robotics.

Back in the day when I was still in high school I worked for our major sponsor, United Technologies Electronic Controls, so it worked out pretty good.

I didn’t have a job during last year’s build, but this year I’m working at Copps (a grocery store) - my mind will be going between “Would you like paper or plastic, sir/ma’am?” and “WHERE’S THE (insert name of tool here)!?!?!” :wink:

“Forget about friendship
Hey, let’s destroy the enemy
That’s one thing I’ve learned
My enemies are just as close to me…
Don’t give up fighting
'Til nothing else stands in your way
Don’t give up talking
Until there’s nothing left to say
But no matter what you do -
Don’t ever compromise what you believe!”

a really fun part time job

I have a part time job. I work at the Sachem Public Library and I’m a computer assistant. Pretty much, that means I get to sit in front of a computer, in a big computer room. I assign the patrons to a computer after they show me their library card, and I answer their questions (even the really stupid ones that make you shake your head and ask how they hell they’re in college). Other than that, I sit and chat, play games, check email, and do my homework. I like my job for the most part. :slight_smile: I’ve worked at the library for over 4 years. And Michael has worked there, doing the same job, for over a year now as well.

I work in the men’s department at Sears too… come to think about it i pretty much got DJ his job, along with somebody else…

lol yeah pretty much…

I work(ed) for International Fireworks Ltd. We deal with all the ileegal stuff that you can’t buy without a permit. We put together shows and ship them out all over IN. We ignited some nitro-glycerin this summer to see how big of a fireball it would produce. It was massive. But seeing as how no one really needs fireworks in the winter, I’m trying to get another job, but I don’t know how long it will last because of robotics and softball at the same time.

thats not fair! Indianapolis gets all the cool jobs…lol

Yeah right! You should see some of the stuff that comes with the boxes of fireworks from Japan and China. Roaches that are and inch long, dead mice… its nasty. Plus its outside in the sun for 7 hours a day, 6 days a week. It’s hard work, but its worth it because its really casual. Its just kinda gross because of the stuff you find.
