Beer distributor baby...we do all the Miller stuff (MGD/Lite/High Life, Milwaukee's Best/Light/Ice), plus Sam Adams, Guiness/Harp, Mike's, Smirnoff bitch drinks, and some other stuff that we only sell in the ghetto (cleveland, so legit ghetto, not like you guys in Lewiston maine or whatever). Sweet job, you meet crazy ass people, every once in a while a crackhead will wander into the warehouse, etc.
mines pretty good. I work at CNA Insurance on 40 wall street. Im basically a paid intern, and when they have no papers for me to copy or file, i do some summer reading. btw, angela's ashes is a good book, though im no critic. oh and i get paid 12bucks an hour on average 25hour weeks.

I'm an Engineering Intern for a plastics company. With a bit of luck they will offer me a full-time job when I graduate next May.
The company is Ball Corp. (think glass mason jar, with Ball written in script)
... except I work for the plant that makes all the plastic bottles for Gatorade, Pepsi, Mtn Dew, Dr. Pepper, Mug Root Beer, etc...
We also put labels on the bottles, I'm in charge of improving a lot of machinery, doing drawings in AutoCAD and some other stuff.
It's great, I work 40 hours/wk and make $18/hr. If they hire me full time next spring they'll most likely offer somewhere between $45,000-$55,000 starting salary.
Engineering doesn't ALWAYS suck $$$

I'm an assistant at Kessler Physical Therapy. It is a pretty sweet job, i have tuesdays and weekends off so i work like 20-23 hours a week, and I get $8 an hour. Pretty interesting except I'm on my feet all day. I work at a track camp for 2 weeks too, monday - friday 8-12 and I get 200 each week, so thats $10 an hour.
I work in a medical research lab that specializes in using a experimental kind of Ultrasound.
Basically, its like the kind that you can use to image things, like babies, but our stuff is many times more powerful and only lasts for under 1/2 a second. I've been working there for two full years now, and I'm now leading my own project, and get to boss some newer undergrads around.
I'm using our ultrasound to 'push' on tissue. Painful tissue 'hurts' when it is touched, as everyone knows. However, there are sources of pain in places that a doctor cant push on, like the spine. Our idea is that because our ultrasound can produce a push sensation under the skin, at about a centimeter in, we could use it to 'push', or tap, on the persons back. Doctors really need this, because pain in your back can come basically from anywhere, and right now the only solution is to do discographies (sticking a 4 inch needle into your back and taking out some tissue).
Right now I'm testing our idea out on rat models. We've shown that our ultrasound can push at a level that causes inflamed tissue to react, but not normal tissue. Now we're working on a neruopathic pain model, but we might actually be just going ahead with human trials, if all goes well this week. Hopefully we'll have our device clinically availible in a few years, probably around the time I graduate.
So yeah, I'm a scientist that experiments on rats. I'm paid on a scholarship, so I dont get a per hour. But its a lot of fun, and its going to be cool getting a paper published with my name on it.

I'm working at this lame hotel (for now, until I get a better job) doing catering, serving, and bartending. The bar is sweet but everything else blows, except the money.

i work for bc parks. i get $9/hour, 40 hours/week and i drive around all day in a chevy pickup listening to the radio. it's nice.
for extra money i do farm work. mostly haying, which pays between 20 and 25 bucks per hour, but some irrigation too every once in a while. i wish i could hay 5 days a week, i'd be making so much money. unfortunately, everyone's hay is ready at the same time
