<p>Oh, and talents like being on the swim team will get you a sweet lifeguard gig. Like feireman was, lifeguard is a sweet job with good pay, I never did swim that well but my friend who had it every summer had the best time, it’s lazy work for the most part and good pay. I’ve also known some to tutor at wealthier schools, if you’re smart and can teach. The kids at my school would never pay for me to tutor, they don’t even study, so I could never do that. But now I realize I could have gone to a school on the north side and they would have paid.</p>
<p>Oh, and food service is gonna suck because people are just weird and it’s a lot on your feet, but be a server so at least you’ll get those lovely tips. Trust me, you can sometimes get $100 a day at a good restaurant, downtown ones if you can get 'em are the best. But it’s also basically all on personality and how you treat people so that’s a skill in it’s own, oh and learn spanish if it’s in the area because you’ll be hired more (ya lo s</p>
<p>i interviewed for hollister on friday. i’ll be hearing back tomorrow, so keeping my fingers crossed : ) i might want to pick up another job for over the summer, though.</p>
<p>^ good luck on that, don’t you have to be like, skinny and fashionably…or gay?</p>
<p>^i’ll let you know when i find out who got hired ; )</p>
<p>Anyone know where can I get an internship/job involving math and sciences? =( I live in the LA area and here’s the thread with my academic info: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/933840-colleges-can-i-get.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-search-selection/933840-colleges-can-i-get.html</a></p>
<p>I urgently need a good EC on my transcript.</p>
<p>um, with someone with barely a high school degree? no, I imagine that would take some serious connections, ask teachers and people in the business, shoot off emails to local technical places and maybe go in to some and ask around and all that</p>
<p>or if there’s some kind of math camp? I don’t know.</p>
<p>You say you need some interesting volunteering and things like that so I say Boy and Girls Club because you could tutor little kids later on.</p>
<p>“Anyone know where can I get an internship/job involving math and sciences? =( I live in the LA area and here’s the thread with my academic info: Which Colleges can I get in?”</p>
<p>Cold call. See what happens. Most likely no though.</p>
<p>I would think tutoring would be the way to go.</p>
<p>Tutoring is fine, but I don’t know where. I already tutor but that’s nothing especially unique, so I want to find a private institute where can I can tutor.</p>
<p>I also can’t seem to find a college that has a summer math/science program that’s in concordance with my interests, location, or academic records.</p>
<p>Call colleges and ask for research opportunities.</p>
<p>Join the Math Circle at UCLA</p>
<p>Though that’s not during the summer</p>
<p>Welll… right now I work at Abercrombie, but in the past, I worked at an ice cream shop, in the local library and as an ACT tutor.</p>
<p>The guy I knew that tutored just went by people. Like, he’d help some friends for free regularly, others saw them do better, asked him and he said “yeah, but I’ll charge”, so it grew and grew till he had a regular thing going for $20 an hour. But he also was going to a really wealthy school that kids would actually pay that much for.</p>
<p>Me, I’m offered $10 to give my work sheets so they can copy, study? nah.</p>
<p>I need a job so badly…</p>
<p>I worked: with my dad as a plumber, for a photography company, for my school theater, for a hockey team, and as an umpire.</p>
<p>Whoot.</p>
<p>I work at a high-tech company that deals with Nanotechnology (I would say the name, but I don’t people to stalk me out).</p>
<p>I feel so accomplished. I feel like I’m the Scrooge McDuck of CC.</p>
