I'm an English professor at a community college. I make close to 50k (after six years). During the semesters, the work is time-consuming. I spend many nights and weekends grading essays and so on. (We always joke that we should have gone into teaching math or history, where grading multiple-choice exams would take less time!) :D

We have nearly a month off for winter break and nearly three during the summer. Of course, there is plenty of planning to do during those times, but there is also a lot of time for other pursuits.

With two young children, that time is limited somewhat. Still, the end result is time, time, time. I usually work on home projects (painting, landscaping, etc.) and catch up on reading and writing (and golf!) during the summer. The last few years, I've been getting more interested in home recording. I'm still quite a newbie at it, but it's a fun hobby. Plus, it's something I can do at home while changing diapers! Record a track, change a diaper, tweak some knobs, play a game... :D

So...you could get a graduate degree, teach college or high school, and have summers to work on your recording. It's a long road, and the students can be a pain sometimes, but the work is rewarding in more ways than one!

Good luck, man. :)

I do not, although I live and work about 1/2 mile away from the complex.

I work for a game company :)
 
I work for these guys ....please don't label me evil now...I beg of you.

I am small on the totem pole, yet I really don't care. On top of that, I'm also a student (in my final class for my associates as we speak and then on to my masters) so that I can get away from jobs like I work with aforementioned guys.

40 hours a week, full time work, nice benefits, pay could be better from where I'm sitting right now (but we're working on that). I make about 30 a year, but with my fiance soon to be wife as of next week we pull in about 55 together here in Smoklahoma, which is pretty damn good.

Man, I was going to apply for a job with them when I got out of the military in Georgia. they were starting out at $25.00hr back in 2002. I'm back in the military now, I had a job abroad that paid $80,000 a year but I had to give it up due to the seperation of me and my son being to hard for me. I'm now stationed in Maryland at Aberdeen Proving Grounds.


you should check out the mall and apply for any department store or cellular phone job you see. Footaction was going to hire me on as a manager just because of my military experience and my wife turned down a job with sprint which was going to pay her close to $4,000.00 a month in the White Marsh Mall here in Maryland also, employee discounts are always great.

Guitar center is also a good place to work other than that, circuit city, best buy............start making connections.

try this, get some business cards with your phone number on it and hand it to some managers, tell them you are a student and you would accept the lowest position with the lowest pay because you just want to get through school. The manager more than likely will hand you an application and wonder why you didn't just ask for an app so this method is hit or miss but you would definitely stand out in his or her head.

Damn that sucks. As long as I'm in school anywhere I'm on my paretns Health insurance till I'm 25. As for me I start at Cingular tomorrow. $9.62 an hour plus $25 comission for every activation or upgrade. I stand to make about $1800 a month only working 20 hours cuz of the comission.
 
I had no idea that cell phone jobs paid that much money! I got 3 or 4 cell phone places right by my house. I got office depot up the road. I applied for radio shack. Bestbuy/Circuit city are farther away. Are the cell phone jobs stressful?
