Salesperson at Buffalo. (50% discount is sweet). 8.00/hr + 2% commission. The pressure to sell and meet our budgets is kinda annoying sometimes though.
Games Attendant at Playland (a local, annual summer amusement park...604 what!). 8.42 + 5% wage. Great job; helped me get the Buffalo job. Meet tons of cool people. |

Its usually either Crossbow or Shoot Out The Star, but overall I worked 4-5 different games last year; I only worked a game other than a gun-game maybe 4 times all summer. They mainly put me at the gun games because they want bigger guys there incase there are disputes about if customers win or not. (i.e. if they put a girl there, and a customer thinks he won but didn't, and the girl says no, and the guy's like..wtf....then they think the girl will get coerced into giving the prize.) You'd be surprised at how much abuse we take; I got spat on by a woman during fair time.

I'm a talent agent. I represent several hundred artists (dance, music and theatre, but not individual actors), and try to sell them to venues. My pay is a commission off the top (usually 15%, but it's flexible). Right now not a lot of venues are booking (most book in the first quarter), so I'm basically unemployed until things pick up.
My second job is managing a group of very hot burlesque dancers called the Sassy Minxx. They do modern flavored burlesque with various stripperish and hip-hop aspects. We have a show on May 18th at B.B. King's at Universal Citywalk if anyone lives in the L.A. area and is old enough to go to a club and watch hot chicks dance around wearing very little. This job doesn't pay well, but the fringe benefits are outstanding.
Sadly, the Sassyminxx.com website is not active yet, but my agency has a website at www.harmonyartists.com.

I have a highly respected executive job at the Royal St. Lawrence Yaught Club in Dorval washing dishes....
I get paid about $7.90/hour, and work time ranges from 6-36 hours a week, depending on how insane my boss is feeling. I'm saving up for some college budgeting =)

Us salespeople are only pressuring/annoying when we get commission. Haha. Or, any store that gives a budget.
