So I'm looking for a job over the summer and throughout my senior year next year. I've already applied to Best Buy (no response), and Target (got rejected :(). Excluding fast food and grocery stores, any suggestions?

Whoever will hire you. Seriously. I've applied to over 100 jobs over the past year, started applying for some part time junk recently and still nothing. I do suggest grocery stores though. The pay is good.

I was hoping for something above minimum wage, but by the looks of it I should start looking into ff and grocery stores too.

Try a grocery store. I applied for my job about 5 years ago. It took then 6 months to get back to me and put me as a casual checkout chick, which lasted two weeks. After a month of no shifts they rang me up at the last minute to do new years eve at another store in the deli. Got there, they liked me so much I got put on permantly. I've been there for about 4 and a half years and in 4 months will be on $18.50 an hour :D

Work for the city, or better, for the government. It's a nice addition for your resume.

Actually it's 7.25 :P And where do you live? That's really good.

That's true, might gain a few pounds by the end of summer :P I'm thinking about applying to Kroger's and a few other places. I figured out H-E-B isn't hiring. Also, how hard would it be to get a job assisting a mechanic or something like that? I wouldn't mind being around cars...

I would recommend grocery stores actually. Working the tills is good for students because most stores have a lot of cashiers and the hours are more flexible.
