Answer 1

Just a thought, but it has more to do with what you like doing. Security jobs but in many places being 19yrs is a problem.

Really, the best is in the food service industry(waiter or waitress). It takes a certain personality but if you have it, it pays. I'm not taking about McDonals either, more of Chillies, Fridays,that sort of food places where people love the service and food, they place a value of your attention to their table. The pay isn't that great but the tips usually are! Since your work is only weekend that gives you the ability to make as much as possible.

I say this from past experince, I worked at a Army beer hall in Germany, they served mix drinks. It didn't take a lot to remember what certain people drank, I simply made eye contact and they would way a glass indicating they were ready for refills. Often, if it was just a draft beer, when I would go to the bar, I would order additional beers and know that i could sell them during my travels between the tables. Always got me a tip that at the end of the night added up to my happy smile.

If you do get that job at Chillie's or where-ever(secure advise), keeps those glasses full, tea, water,soft drinks and for sure ~~ no one likes cool or warm coffee, keep it hot, always offer desert but don't push it. The water and coffee refills are usually free so do it. The more they see you, they will assume or think that your giving them special care, and thats transfers to a tip at the end of the shift.

Answer 2

if there is a Circuit City or Best Buy in your area, then that sounds like something you may enjoy. Fairly good pay, solid easy job. I would suggest finding a job in the tv department of one of them, my friend does that for a good bit of spare change. Good hours too.
