Job Ideas

I've been working as a dishwasher for $10/hour, for the last six months, at a fancy restaurant across the street from my apartment.

I need a new job, as telling people I'm seventeen and wash dishes is, well, depressing.

I have good style, I could very well work in retail... that's about all the ideas I have.

Are they in need of workers as much as thay are here in the interior?

10 dollars an hour is a great price to be doing dish washing work.WSGRandomPerson

Yeah it is. I also work at as a restaurant, but as a line cook.Our dishwashers start at 10 dollars an hour and have a chance to move up from there.

Who cares what other people think. You probably make more than they do pumping gas or bagging groceries or mowing some rich guy's lawn. You're only 17, after all, and $10/hour isn't bad for a 17 year old. If you're looking for a career change, perhaps you should talk to your restaurant boss about moving up the chain. If you say you could work retail, then you could certainly pitch yourself as a waiter. Then you'd get an hourly rate and tips on top of that.

While in university, I had some crappy jobs like dish washer and bank teller. Though it was only a few months here and there, and it did indeed suck, I did not feel embarrassed to be doing these sorts of things, because they were decent options at that point in my life. I'd be unhappy with myself if I had made something like that my career, but that didn't happen to me, nor will it happen to you. Most people have to work a crappy job at some point in their lives.

I have never heard of a dishwasher that makes $10.00. Inditra

Supply and demand... when I was washing dishes, minimum wage was all one could expect. Now, just a few years later, there's a labour shortage in most of my province, and some places are offering $15/h out of desperation. And they still aren't getting any applications.

When I was 17, everbody I knew was either unemployed or in College. I don't see why working in a resteraunt washing dishes is embarrassing, particularly at 10 dollars an hour.
