Im still working at Cobatco, where ive been for going on two years now.

For those of you who dont know, we make waffle machines and waffle cone machines, the larger commercial type for restaurants and hotels and such. Im making $6.90 an hour. Its mostly boring factory type work, screw this nut into this screw, tighten, ect. But I'll admit the job does have its advantages. For one thing ive gotten several friends of mine jobs there so thats nice. Also, hours are perfect during school its 3-6PM, Monday through Friday, which is great because all my nights are free. And I never have to work weekends. That and during the Summer I can pretty much make up my own schedule. And theyre real good about time off, just ask and youve got it.

I work in a storehouse for car parts and assecoires. I get paid €6,40 per hour, I think...
It's only once a week, which is perfect for me. I need to get rid of my debt.

I'm currently working as a Web Developer for COS International. I design product displays and manage the website, and maintain it. It pays about $600 a week flat, plus commission and overtime at $25/hr. It's a decent job and I guess you could say it's good pay.

It gets tedious doing products and such but it's flexible when it comes to my much needed smoke breaks... so I'm liking it.

Smoke brakes aren't fair.

Today I've worked for 3,5 hours straight, and it wasn't light work. They've cut 1 of our 2 brakes.

Currrently I work at the library on my University campus. Its technically a workstudy job, so I only make 6 bucks an hour, but they have to schedule my hours around classes and school activities. Also, since I want to go into L&I Sciences, its really a good place to work.

Over the summer I'll have a paid internship making about $12 an hour :-D

I work at a lake estate on Okanagan Lake. It's owned by the owner of the Vancouver White Caps. It's basically his family's summer home. They have a soccer field which takes a lot of work and a ****load of landscaping type work to do. I get paid 12 bucks an hour. I like it.

When I'm not doing that or school then I help my dad renovate our latest project house.
