What is the most laid back job for a college student?

After working for 2 years at a very fast-paced job, I am looking for a change. What is the most laid back retail job out there for a college student? Are clothing stores very laid back, such as Old Navy or Hollister? Minimum wage is fine.


Actually, any retail job you work in isn't going to be what you'd call "laid back". Especially on weekends, they get really busy. (I work at a pet store of all places.) Not to mention around Christmas business picks up EVERYWHERE and customers get very very crabby.

I have a friend who started working at a bank when she was in college, as a teller - she loved it. Weekends off, all holidays off, it was great. She had to take evening classes, but she liked it anyway. The bank helped pay part of her tuition, too. You could try that.

I have worked on production lines you cannot get more laid back than this if you are on a good line. In a bakery where I loaded trays for the cake mix I even managed to keep a diary to keep amused. Even if your hands are busy you can always think on other things as the work is sooo repetitious and sometimes easy so good luck and keep looking for something that suits you for a bit of financial help. A number of places employ casuals so that you can pick your hours. Mobile phone is handy as they can contact you when needed. Steel cap boots are necessary for safety reasons but also great for general wear. I get the oil man's boots" Red wings" so comfy and they do have small sizes although pricey.

There is always welfare recipient; hard jobs provide a better resume.

Awww...is a little hard work in life too much for you?
