I love my job

I enjoy this job much more than my Microsoft financial analyst job. I have all the flexibility I want and way more pay. What other job can I make tens of thousands of dollars in a day and take anyday off that I want? The hours are great. I probably work less than 40 hours a week and make more money than I would likely make at the peak of my career as a financial analyst

I actually really liked this job. If you are a people person and you like coffee this is a very cool job to have. For the most part talking with your customers and getting to know them is encouraged so you actually can develop friendships. I also got to know my co-workers really well and they were all pretty young, I would say in the age range of 18-27ish mostly. Most of my co-workers worked at Starbucks as a barista during the day but used it to pay the bills while they pursued art, school, or music. This made work conversation much more interesting.

You get to drink as much coffee as you want and can experiment with drinks for free. You also get a free 1lb of coffee every week for yourself.

I learned to make every single type of espresso coffee drink that Starbucks offers, and will never forget my way around an espresso bar. You will always carry this knowledge with you and when you host coffee at your place making a latte, mocha, or Carmel macchiato won’t phase you.

There is a stock employee purchase plan.

Lastly, if you are somewhat shy then this job is a perfect job to develop an outgoing personality. You are kind of forced to talk to people every morning and during the day so talking to strangers will become second nature.

1) Flexibility - I can most of the time control my own hours. If I don't want to work one day, I don't have to work. And, if I have a very good year, I can choose to take days, weeks, or months off when I want. I also do not need to be indoors most of the time.

2) Business Owner - I am really a one man company running a business. I motivate myself and don't report to anyone.

3) Unlimited Income Potential - I have the ability to make as much money as I want. There is not a salary ceiling. I also have the ability to make money a lot of money very quickly.

4) Low Cost to Entry - Becoming a Realtor has a low initial investment. You can expect to spend about $1,000 - $2,000 to start your own business. There aren't many businesses you can start with this little cost.

5) Ease of Entry - All you need to become a Realtor is to pass a state license exam and to complete some education requirements. Some of these education requirements can be satisfied through classes taken in college.

Well if you are a people person this is a great job because you can meet people every 20 minutes. First off there is a big difference between working for Supercuts and for working at most smaller Hair Boutiques that you see.

Pay 1) Supercuts you get a salary that is fixed. You don't rent a chair, ie. you don't have a specific chair but share with all the other Hair Stylists. You can make more money by increasing your productivity. You increase your productivity by essentially increasing your customers per hour. So how fast can you cut good hair.

You do not Rent a Chair 2)In most boutiques you rent a chair from the boutique owner and pay them a monthly rent for the chair. So if you give 1 haircut or give 1000 haircuts you pay the same amount to the boutique owner. You are basically your own boss, so you can work alot or work little. If there are more than one hair stylist working, walk-in's are taken on a round robin basis.

Flexibility 3) If you want flexibility you better choose Supercuts because at most hair boutiques your chair is yours for certain hours. Most other hair stylists will not trade you hours as their clients come in at those times.

Relaxing 4) This job is pretty low stress.

“Working with kids is amazing!” I am completely amazed at how a person at such a young age can overcome such overwhelming odds and continue to be so strong and resilient. As a pediatric nurse I have the advantage of working with a diverse patient population. From infants and adolescents I am still amazed by each person’s strength to pull through such aggressive treatments.

“Inspiration.” I am inspired not only by the young people I meet everyday, but also by the people that I am surrounded by everyday. The multidisciplinary team comprised of nurses, doctors, ChildLife Specialists, social workers, parents, (just to name a few) dedicated to making a difference brings greater meaning to my job.

“Great hours!” Although I work the standard 7am-7pm twelve hour shifts, I work 3 days a week and have 4 days off! (Yes, I am working full time) By the third day of work, it gets to be quite exhausting, but there’s nothing like looking forward to the next 4 days off of work. This also provides flexibility to my schedule if I wanted to pursue other things. Ex: pick up a part-time job of choice or pursue a Masters degree in Nursing (one of my long-term goals)

Great company, great management team, great product. This position is relationship building and management. It is a great way to refine your people skills, developing business relationships, providing education and solutions and also give top notch customer service. This is a fluid position with constant growth. I have a lot of autonomy to run my territory as I would like, of course along with my team members. I rarely work overtime. I travel enough but not too much.

1) Everyday is different! This may not be a “pro” for some but I like having some spontaneity and flexibility within my work day. Even though we have our daily routines, no day is every exactly the same. 6 and 7 year olds are very curious and for the most part eager learners, so they make things fun for me.

2) Benefits: The school district (Renton, WA) that I work for offers great health plans, dental, retirement, etc.

3) Vacation: I am paid for 182 work days and get the same vacations that the kids to, which is really great! We start school after Labor Day and school gets out mid June. I look forward to my week long breaks throughout the year, just when I am getting tired of work a break comes up and then I can return re-energized and relaxed.

4) Impact: Teaching is very rewarding for me. Kids spend so much of their day in school that it is crucial for me to provide as many opportunities as possible for students to be successful. Developing reading skills is huge in first grade; it is amazing to see the progress that students make and then to see how reading helps them grow in other subject area. Teaching to me is not just about academics and state standards but it is also about teaching students to become good citizens. At the beginning of each school year I spend a lot of time teaching students how to get along with one another, how to communicate effectively, and how to solve their own problems. Teaching this early on makes learning easier for students, of course we have to practice these social skills throughout the year but it is a great way to get everyone on board with how to build relationships in and out of school.

1) Free Travel - The American government guarantees a round-trip ticket to your host country regardless of whether or not you finish your two year service.

2) Free Training - When you sign up for Peace Corps they don't just throw you into bush village at the start of your job. Instead, they will give you an 8-10 weeks of training. The training course involves training in the relevant sector you have been assigned -- either Small Business, Health, Education, Fish Farming, and Agriculture. You will also be given training in the local customs and language. During the duration of you training you will be staying with a host family where you will have ample opportunity to practice the language you have been learning and observe first hand the local customs.

2) Work - After training you are then sent out to your site you where you expected to spend two years working in your sector. For my job, I was in the education sector working as a teacher at a Monkey Bay Secondary School in Malawi -- a country in south eastern Africa. As a teacher I was responsible for teaching Biology, Math, Chemistry, and Physics to grades 9-12. My school had virtually no resources -- no text books for students, overcrowded class rooms (70+ students in my largest class), no electricity, etc. In the face of such adversity, you are forced to be creative in your classes -- come up with your own labs using local resources and look for funding to build a science lab. All of this may sound intimidating, but I found that it was extremely rewarding working with the staff and students as they are all eager to learn.

3) Community Involvement - In addition to teaching I also was greatly involved with the community. I coached boys soccer, was a mentor to a local Youth Group, and even played on the local semi-pro soccer team. The Youth group I worked with was in a village along the lake and the only way to get there was by boat or by hiking for 1hr. Usually I would go there before lunch and then catch a boat back to the main village with one of the fishermen. The area is absolutely stunning!

4) Opportunities for travelling - Peace Corps gives you 2-days a month of vacation which gives you ample time to travel around the area. While I was in Malawi, I had the opportunity to travel to Mozambique, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Zambia, Namibia, South Africa, and Botswana.

5) Rewarding Experience - After serving two years in your host country, the whole community will come together to say good bye to you. At this point you finally realize how much of a positive effect you had on your community. When I left the students put on a play where they acted out me having to deal with a corrupt principle who eventually had to leave the school and then after the play the staff at the school had a big feast for me as a way of saying thanks.

It’s great part-time jobs ( 20-24 hours per week). Management is very flexible to accommodate days off for staff family needs.
