I know someone who used to work for the Housing department at UND doing marketing where she was a graphic designer there. She just graduated so there might be an opening...if you want to work on campus.

Yeah i was a bus driver at Dietrichs or however you spell it. Paid way better than instructing ever would have. If you choose to pick up driving party/drunk buses you might even get to meet a few nice and not so nice soristitutes! I made usually about $10 an hour one night on a hockey game night made like $80+ hr all depends on tips

big LOL. on campus jobs are mostly the 5$/hr variety.

ill check into the graphics thing, though last time i looked around campus they were all the 5 dollar variety too (i worked for the dakota student for a time and the pay was a JOKE for the quantity/quality of work i did)

bus thing... its a possibility, my buddy owns the clubexpress partybusses...though i work for him in other capacities from time to time already (graphics etc)

im heading over to fedex at 7am here in a bit actually... might have something goin on there.

UPS is also hiring but it says they pay $8.50-$9.50 per hour. You take home $110-$150 each week. Might be a little less then what you are looking for.

TXaviator,

Did Fedex tell you how many hours they would be able to give you? My roommate only works like 25 hours a week with them.

I worked 5.45 an hour at the Service center. After hours 12am-6am pay a bit more.

-You can work at UND aerospace giving tours to incomming students.

-You can ask the UND dining center if you can be a food taster/tester subject.

-CFI??

-Or be Grand Forks Certified IP II IMI IP

There is nothing in Grand Forks.

That's why I kept my job I had for many years in San Diego while I was in Grand Forks... thank god for my employer letting me telecommute from home in GFK. Earning San Diego wages in GFK saved me from getting into big student loan debt.

Jason, are you still telecommuting right now? ...I bet it would be nice to still have a second source of income in addition to Piedmont. Btw, I'm done with ND on Aug. 1st! I feel like you... how you had the truck running and ready to go after graduation. My car will be running and ready to begin the journey home!

Haha. She is probably a captain for Cathay, JAL, or UPS somehow. I guess the net won't filter out everyone.

Yes, I'm still telecommuting. It's nice because I can work on the BPOs when I'm commuting to work from SAN to JFK. Occasionally on my hotel overnights I will do a BPO here and there, but I try to limit my overnight time to relaxing.
