    couple summers ago
    working 10pm-3am
    and then morning 9-4

    nite was ok, 15min drive that can b cut to 5mins :p
    tho morning, was like > 1hr travel =/

    didn't feel too tired, did it for a couple of weeks

    couple months ago
    worked 8:30 - 4:30, and then 7:45pm - 8am
    obvious to say, didn't last very long...

    only did it cos wanted to start new career/job without leaving the old one just yet
    and that didn't work out, so now not working at all lol

    lol I thought when you work for dear ole daddi-kins it's suppose to be smooth sailings-lol well, with my pop he would only give me the easy things to work on, missing buttons, zippers, shoulder pad replacements (he was a tailor) the only thing he was a stickler for was that I repaired everything he gave me correctly, even then he wasnt harsh about it, it was nice and he even paid me money lol
    I only worked two jobs once in my life, you did it alot reno...

    No, seriously Sugacutie; I am curious how you'd cope with a fulltime day job and a night time job as well?

    Hm, to be honest, I would most likely switch to a part-time day job, about 3-4hrs a day, then a full-time night job, so it will at least give me some time to rest up in between.

    Isn't it better to just get a fulltime job then?

    Not really, because I would get extra money from the part time job. I'd have the full-time night job and the part time job in the day.

    before I did my internship I had two jobs, both part time. I worked at a dutch bank, one or two times a week. I will only work there when I have the time (because of my study) and they don't mind whenever I come. Very flexible:)

    In the weekends I worked at a chinese take away but only for 3 hours in the evening.

    working both places = extra tax = less money ><
    but still better than none...

    and working 1 full time + 1 part time, kinda doesn't leave much time left
    and sure not to last very long...

    wen i kinda did the 2 full times (1 was a 12 hr shift.. ) i didn't last very long
    only couple of days, started taking sickies for other one lol
    but i was training, and sux how training was unpaid... i didn't even get told it was unpaid until afterwards... and then obviously, didn't join with them...
    atleast now im in a big international company =)

    see how i feel, mite consider working somewhere just for fun such as bartending =)

    well wen i worked full time + uni full time, u do really feel worn out...
    did it for my last 2 years of uni... atleast i got wat i wanted =)
    both pocket money and my pieces of papers

    last summer i worked 3 jobs


    1. Shoppers Drug Mart Pharmacy Technician
    2. Superstore Pharmacy Assistant
    3. Medical Clinic Receptionist/data entry clerk


    This summer i cut down a bit

    im still working part time as a pharmacy tech at shoppers, but now i have a full time job ontop of that at an Insurance company. I might do 3 jobs if i can balance it again though, i want the money. My resume is pretty baller for an 18 year old at this point.

    I sometimes wonder how do people do that. I mean.. with all the group meetings, studying, homework as it is... it's overwhelming. I can understand if it's a part-time job, but full-time? That leaves nearly 0 time for homework, let alone the group meetings etc.

    well i guess its dependent on class times too
    i knew i had less actual contact hours, but more time needed to be spent on thesis and night classes
    so i chose to work full time in day, go in after work for class or do thesis

    but wen the crunch time came... it really hurt ><
    worked to abt 4:30, deliberately left early
    got home eat thesis shower thesis... then its like 2-3am, and start over again

    but i guess as long as u know wat u need to do and have a schedule its ok
    since lectures aren't compulsory, then u don't have to turn up, just make sure u bother to read up and ask questions abt stuff u dont' know

    cos if u think abt it, standard working day = 9-5
    get home say 7
    shower/dinner = 8-8:30
    since we all sleep "late" these days, u still got 3-4 hours atleast everynite to do work
    which is technically more than enuff, just that we can't concentrate for that long... lol

    @fearless_fx: Are you going to school to become a pharmacist? The last time I checked they make pretty decent amount of money.

    it's okay brown_bear-hug lol

    Yea, with your situation, it would be practical to find just one solid good job..
