I Want a Change

I work in a restaurant, but I'm getting tired of the late night hours, the same routine every week and I want a change. The money is great, so I want something that pays about $15 - $20 per hour like I'm paid now.

College students, what do you do?
Shoot me some ideas!

I did Valet for a while when I was younger, depending on the place it can be extremely lucrative. Some nights you walk out with anywhere from $100-$300 in just tips.

Yeah but the OP is in Montreal. Running in the rain/sleet/snow through winter will suck! Not worth the tips IMO. Now in a southern climate hell yes.

I'd personally just stick with serving. I served during college as well and loved it. Sure it's kind of the same shit every day, but the people are hilarious to work with, the customers always give you some good stories cuz their retards and there isn't much else that pays that well while the work is rather easy. No heavy lifting, no real early or late days, no major paperwork, no running and you can typically meet cute girls, so wheres the problem again?

Now if I could do it over again I'd prolly still serve but try to have gotten into bar tending sometimes as well.

Yeah but ask you buddy about the pouring nights or when it's hella cold out running through slushy wet snow.

A couple friends of mine worked valet to. About 50% of the time they enjoyed it. My buddy even got hit by a car in a mall parking lot running to the valet parking section, not hard or anything but you have to deal with this kind of crap.

Been there, done that. It's even more fun when the roads flood up and you're running through 6 inches of water.

Although the perks of getting to test drive Porsche's, Bentley's, Maserati's, etc. make up for it.
