If anyone happens to need a good IT guy in Western PA, gimme a call. I'm about ready to lose it working at Target.

Not sure what "crappy pay" is in PA, but if you consider $8.00 - $8.50 to be decent, possibly check into Work-Study at your college? There's another student worker I speak with a lot, and she said her old school paid only about $6.00 for student workers, but I'm working as a student working currently making $8.25, with a $.25 raise every 4 months (okay, not too exciting, but steady raise = nice). There may be some IT positions...

Best of luck to both of you, though. Kenshin and I were job searching for 2 months before we landed our current student worker positions. I didn't have a problem with pay...all the employers simply had a problem with hiring twins. But when you've only got one car...

Hey Trooper, You guys host some of my servers for me in your Dallas and Mechanicsburg data centers. Know Stephen Erwin or Dennis McGuire?

Minimum wage is $7.15/hour and I'm getting paid $7.25/hour. The killer, however, is the work. It's incredibly boring and monotonous. I'd much rather be doing something interesting. As far as work study goes, it's considered a part of financial aid. As of last year, my family had too much money for me to participate in it. (I had a bit of money saved, but that's all gone now.) Hopefully after this year's FAFSA, I could get in, but I kinda doubt it.

I fold maps. You know, those maps you get at gas stations that are folded so neatly with crisp edges - that's what I do at the map factory, fold those.

Just kidding... I actually tape the staws on the sides of WD-40 cans. I use to put the nozzle's on, but that takes young, steady hands and I'm getting old so they demoted me to the straw taping .

No, really I'm a midwife and sell propane and propane accessories on the side.

Truth: Sofware Engineer for Unisys Corporation. But I just love telling people I do the things above.
