Sign in to disble this ad
Got any tips? The band(s) will have gigs on nights and hold rehearsals on weekends, so i need a weekday job starting in the morning.
Is this really impossible? My friends have jobs and they work through such **** hours its ridiculous. To be honest i don't really care what i do (as long as its not restaurants they take advantage of you--i have experience in this, call me picky but illegal shifts and illegal break time with call-in like policy SUCKS).
Does anybody have any advice on where to look? |

I work at a hotel during the day - unfortunately that includes weekends, so once I get to the point where I'm good enough to play out, I won't be able to play during the day on weekends. Same for lifeguard most of the time, too...

Thats pretty popular back where I'm from, a lot of berry fields and if you put your mind to it (you get paid for what you picK), you can make a fair whack of money and have your nights free.

I get to chill at the beach, and on days that I have gigs, I hand flyers out to all the hot chicks so they show up to my show. Since you don't have a location listed on your profile, I'm left to presume that you live near the beach, perhaps even the same town as me. |

Well, it is the beach... plus, there are chicks making out on the flyer, how can you not want to go?!

That means you can watch them at it while they get you a beer

/derail | You do realize that not only do I have a broken foot but Redondo Beach is a good 45minutes to an hour north of Huntington right?  Although that is the area where I met my wife. Hmmm. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: West Covina (LA), SoCal | | | Hmmm, I didnt realize it was a 45 min drive. Nor did I realize it was a 50 min. drive from my town of west covina. Regardless, Chicks making out on kegs.

It's worth looking into; the YMCA and several other organizations give classes to train you as a life guard if you're interested and they usually don't cost a lot of money - get the training now and you should be good to go by June!
