Where would be a good place to work as a college student low on spending money?
Just saw a post on Facebook although it is a month old now that bowies was looking for people in the gun department. I am going to go tomorrow and see what happens. Can't hurt to ask we will see what happens

Without any type of background on what you know, you are going to get some off the wall answers.

I worked as a student at the aquaculture farm. It was cool if you like crawfishing, seine netting, feeding fish, mowing... Lots of mowing, etc.

No doubt
I think it would be cool to work around naked women for a college gig. It will teach a young man numerous life lessons that will stay with him forever.

True. I didn't really want to specify too much because I'm really open to anything. I am an avid outdoorsman go duck hunting and fishing. I enjoy researching and reading about new and old products of the industry of shooting so working at a place like bowies or Jims would be awesome even cabelas if I thought I could be placed in a department like that but doubt I could get a job like that. That's why I'm open to suggestion.

Timayy assuming you aren't trolling why would you sell yourself short?
If you truly want to do something and that is working at Cabelas, Jim's, Bowies or anyplace and it's what YOU want to do, get out and do it!! YOU can do anything you put your mind to, don't assume you can't, remove can't from your brain and work on what you CAN do!
Working at the penthouse club seems like a pretty good idea too!

Get a job bartending, cash could be good depending on where you work and perks can be great.

Not the type that enjoys trolling. But yeah Im definitely thinking more and more that I should just get out there and atleast put my name out and see what happens.
Side note: if anyone can think of places other than bowies Jims or cabelas that are along those lines I'm open to suggestions.
The girlfriend might not like the idea of bouncing at penthouse

I've thought about the bartending thing but those three o'clock morning would be tough on me having to wake up at 7 everyday for class

I'm sure Carson can help get your foot in the door at Bowie's at some point. Surely they will need holiday help that will allow you some time to shine as well as see if that is something you want to do long-term.
I majored in construction management and worked for a door and hardware store for three years in college. My time there was spent estimating, managing active projects, dealing with General contractors, submittals, plan reading, take-offs, etc which are basic duties for a graduate the first few years out of college. This experience gave me numerous job offers before I graduated and helped advance my career. I am only saying this so you may consider something in your chosen field for long-term benefits.
Good luck to you

Similar topic on money board. My suggestions were waiter/bartender, life guard, or something you can study at.

Mine is the coolest. I get paid to do yacht things.
But all BS aside, are you trying to build meaningful experience, or have fun? Those two can melt together to an extent if you do it right.

Yeah something in my field would definitely be more beneficial but as an Me major I do summer internships and during the year it's tough to do something relatable besides research work. Kind of looking for that experience of being a salesman of sorts for the first time. All of my previous jobs have been either manual labor or internships

If you can find something in the field you think you want to be in, go do it, even if it's less money.
That said, when I was an undergrad, I delivered pizzas for Domino's on Staring part time, ran lawn care crews during the summer, deck handed for offshore charters, and even went down to Venice with no work to hustle jobs cleaning fish(that got Mack mad as hell when he was there).
Experience in your field is really good if you can get it though and I recommend that if you're even a little confident you know what you want to do. I'm also over 40 and still don't know what I'm going to be when I grow up but I think ended up doing fairly well for myself...

Right now I'm wishing I would have stayed away from construction.

I wouldn't consider any indoor job at that age, cool. But that's just me.

Exactly, really putting a cramp in my fishing and soon to be hunting time.
