Whats a good first job?

soo i eff'd up and i need to pay my parents back about $2,000 for my stupidity but i have school so i was wondering if anyone knows what a good part time job would be. like a restaurant busboy job or retail like Target or something. I turn 18 in march if that matters and i havent really had a job before also i dont want to work at McDonalds but i will if thats my absolute only option.

Cashier at a grocery store is prob your best bet.

any job you're available to all pay the same
being a waiter is pretty cool because tips, however some places collect everyone's tips in a jar and distributes them all weirdly.
I agree with staying out of fast food, because screw fast food
retail like clothing and all that usually isn't a good job to get if you wanna make money quickly. it takes a while for you to get your hours and sometimes you just straight end up working low hours all the time, like 2 hours 2-3 days a week or something.

Try being a waiter for a really well known restaurant. You'll be making 2k in with tip faster than a min. wage job. or just sell drugs. That's the fastest way to make 2k but I highly don't recommend lol.

I worked at King Soopers for a year and three quarters or so, and I think my gross earnings were about $6000 after that, but I only worked an average of two or three days a week, so I guess ~10 hours a week.
At Colorado minimum wage.
I spent $2000 on a car, $300 more of my own money fixing it, and I don't know what happened to the rest...

TLDR: courtesy clerk at a grocery store. If you get good coworkers, it's a pretty great job.

I'd agree with the busser job, but if you can't get that honesty it doesn't matter. Everywhere else pays about the same, it really comes down to what you would prefer doing.

Work as a pizza delivery driver when you turn 18.
But before then you should start working there anyways as an insider.

I've worked at a pizza place for the past 4 years and it has been a blast.
