17 in college, no job, attempting to double major so probably won't have time. Hell I'm gonna have to take classes in the summer, too, just to try and graduate in 3 years.
Occasionally I work the odd job for my parents and they always pay me a round number. Nothing big, but I don't actually want money for anything other than NX which I haven't bought in a while. Got a bulging wallet just...filling up.

I've been working at a Home Hardware in Ontario for over 3 years now, part time (about 15 hours/week). The pay's $10/hour (a little about the $9.60 minimum wage). It's pretty ballin' though. I hated it for the first couple of years, but it's getting pretty sweet now. (I started a week before I turned 14, and I'm 17 now).

19; I was working at Borders for $9 an hour until it died (worked for there for 4 months). Then I took a break from part-timing for a few months.

Now I tutor students at $25 an hour, 4-8 hours a week. I'm not sure why the pay is so ridiculously high, though.

I'll know in about a week if I get a job as a cashier at the KFC/Taco Bell in town. The pay will be at least $8.50 since that's what minimum wage is here in Oregon.
I've applied for a job at like 15 places, but none of them have wanted me since I have no experience. The only reason I have a chance at KFC/Taco Bell is because my brother works there and they love him.

I am 21 and I clean my room once a week so that it's spotless, often get held in one area for 12 hours a day, wait for someone to fill out countless rosters of paperwork, get stupid lectures/classes about things we already know, occassionally hike miles at power-walking speeds with ridiculous amounts of weight on our backs, occassionally go camping with ridiculous amount of weight, and ;on the rare occassion; shoot rockets, handle explosives and do other cool stuff.

On the average I work 12 hours a day at 5 days a week so that's 240 hours a month. I don't get paid hourly but I get paid 2,800 monthly after taxes and deductions because I am married which roughly translates to $12/hour. If I weren't married, I'd get paid 1,300 a month which would be $5.41/hour [a lot of my peers are in this situation].

God. I can't wait to start college -_-

I work in electronics now, so basically I just stand there for 4~8 hours at a time selling copies of 3D Mario and MW3. Did you know we offer a Software protection plan for only $3.99? Receipt with you or in the bag? Have a good one.

I'm 13, I run a bakery from my house with my sister. This summer I'll probably carry on the tradition of working as a waitress at the local restaurant, but it was doing better in the past

Applying for a tutoring job at a nearby high school
It pays $15 an hour, I just need one of the ladies at my honors college building to finish a recommendation for me
I'm 18, college freshman, I'd hopefully be working enough to get $180-$200 per week (it's between my classes)

Also applied for a paid summer internship at chrysler, no idea what the pay is, still waiting to hear if I get an interview for nearly a month They have to decide which 5 kids get the internship by the end of the month, and they'd be interviewing at least 5 of us (assuming they decide that they should fill all 5 spots). They also said I'd know if I'm getting an interview in about 5 days from now, so I hope I do.

Edit: But I think the tutoring pays so well because it's in a not-so-good area, but hell I'll do it

I've been doing work experience at Hilton Hotel as a pastry chef for the last 2-3 months. They've finally offered me a job (minimum wage, yay), but I'm turning it down to see if I can do well in a web design interview on Tuesday. I'm seriously hoping I'll get it...

I may be working an easy stocking job at Macy's in a few days if they decide to hire me. It only pays like 7.75 or so an hour but its better than nothing. Been searching for months now and this is the best I could find.

I have two on-campus jobs at my university. The jobs are fairly easy, and I get to do my homework at one of them. I get $9/hr for one of them and $11/hr for the other.

I've worked as a lifeguard during my summers for 5 years and got promoted to life guard/asst. pool manager for the past 2. My pay my first year of being a guard was like $7.10/hr, but last year I made what evened out to be about $12/hr (I get a set salary for the asst. manager position). xD

Edit: I'm 22 and I'll leave this job when I finish with Pharmacy school. xD
