I'm nervous about it.

It's my second ever job.

My first job was McDonald's, for about 6 weeks, during the summer of 2006.

This one is a simple Mentoring/Tutoring Job, on campus. 7$ an hour, 12 hours a week.

I think it's cool, but I'm nervous!

I start next Monday.

Ooo, that sounds fun! Many of my friends have had tutoring jobs in college and they all loved it. I'm sure you will do great. Most jobs tend to be much easier than we think they will be. :)

Good luck =)

Lol, any new tutoring job would always make me a bit nervous at first, because I have no idea who I would be tutoring.

But all in all, I've always enjoyed tutoring, and I think it's one of the best jobs you can get when you're in school.

Get over it and get used to it I work at a race track and get ran over by rac e cars all the time.

Thanks, y'all. :)

And the minimum wage is not much higher than 6.00$ an hour. I think it just went up. We were at 5.85$ an hour, recently.

I already know the class I'll be tutoring. I have to attend the class, three days a week, to get notes, and stuff, and then TA with the teacher...but I'm getting paid to do that, so it's wicked. :P

I thoroughly enjoy that class (I took it my Freshman First Semester, and made a very high A), and love working with other people. I mean, I've never done it, before, but I enjoy helping others out.

$12 is the minimum wage here.. But anyway, being nervous is good. It shows that you actually care.

12$ minimum wage? Lucky! :P

I'd kill for that.

But, then again, I'd kill for a Klondike Bar. ;)

This is decent pay. 7$ an hour is about a buck more than minimum wage. And I'm getting paid to attend a class. It really doesn't get any better than that.

The job pretty much fell into my lap, from who knows where. :P

Lol! What class is it anyway?


-- Posted by TigressaLynnMae at 12:20 pm on Aug. 19, 2008

Biology 101, Introductory Biology for Freshmen.
