Summer Jobs for University Students

[HelloHockeyFans]

What program are you in? Or what type of career are you planning to get into?

It'd be a great time to volunteer to work for free at a company that deals with the type of stuff you're hoping to eventually get into after you're finished with school. Start networking and open some doors.

For cash, get a part-time job in the evening hours a few days of the week to give yourself some spending money.

Haha, it's guys like me on at the Municipal Building who can slack; you field workers still gotta put in a bit of effort =)

I don't know why more students don't apply with the City; I think it's the fact they don't want to work for a union, which after being there for six months, I hardly even notice I am unionized. Feels like a normal workplace to me, and you get alot of benefits too.

Well it seems like most don't because we don't know where to apply

Seriously I would be interested...
Where can I go?
thanks.

4th Ave is seriously short of supply. No application necessary just the willingness and dedication to stand on a street corner all night and fellate for pay.

I remember when I got a summer job at a factory and was making 13 dollars an hour. It was considered one of the top paying jobs for students in the summer.

I also worked as a roofer, what a terrible job. I made $8.00 an hour for it.

I worked for the City of E a few years ago, it was an awesome job. Holidays off, start at 9 off at 4:30. you make like 19 bucks an hour, I would recommend it to anyone.

I love trade work in the summer. Last summer I worked with my brother in law doing concrete. I should have been trading real estate, but I enjoyed the outdoor work so much, that that's pretty much all I did. I sold a couple of houses on the side, and even though I made way more money doing it, it was a P.I.T.A. for me.
I recently joined my uncle in the house building business and am glad that I've done so many different trades in the past.

If you want a good tan and a fair workout, go join a concrete finishing crew for the summer. You'll learn your way around a few power tools, and you get to see your hard work turn into something nice. If you work for someone good and you do steps and pattern stamp patios and such, it is amazingly satisfying seeing the finished product.

I worked at the city doing infrastructure assessments for 4 summers. Great place to work and they do pay well. Go here to look at the postings.

Looking through there now to see if I'm qualified for any!

Whatd you do there? Like maintenance work? Or white collar stuff? I'd love to apply there. My only concern is this year I'm taking spring courses so I won't be able to commit myself full-time until early June, in which case I'm sure all the gooders will be scooped up.

I drive Pilot truck and Operate machinery/Labour for my wife's house/mobile home moving company.

Typical day is:
Sleep in truck for 2 hours while you drive to the jobsite, work for 2 hours loading a unit and 3 hours driving it to it's new location. then an hour to unload it and 2 hours driving back.

Or, work for a 2-3 days to load a full sized house, then drive/sleep for 20-30 hours to move it to it's new location and then 1 day to load it.

The work to sleep/driving ratio is high enough that I can't complain.
