First year of doing it was kinda a trial year to see if I could make some extra gas money. Today I have about 90% of customer tips and make at least 500 bux in tips a month plus another 1000 with my pay rate.

you got it all wrong. i also worked at a public course while in high school. don't walk to their car, drive a cart out there, pick em up, then sit in the cart and wait for the tip

anyone can drive a cart to them. It takes more effort to carry 3/4 bags at once up to a waiting cart. Customers see this and realize the effort therefore resulting in a larger tip. I ain't changing my ways, I make over 15 bux an hour on opening shifts with my pay rate, sometimes over 20.

I'm pretty sure we all know my story, but Senior in High School, then attending Western Kentucky University in the fall. I worked at a pizza place as a dishwasher for a good seven months, then a broken beer-mug accident sliced the half of my pad of my right middle finger off (I guess I can't commit a crime now)... they were ******** about it and then they gave me **** for attending a fellow classmate and good friend's funeral.

So I'm unemployed, rakin' in $50 a week for the grades, going WKU for Video Production and Broadcasting. Holluh.

Mechanical Engineer turned salesman. Engineering sucks and the money is WAY better in sales.

I sell extrusion equipment including the following:
www.davis-standard.com
www.clintoninstrument.com
www.zumbach.com
www.guill.com
www.bourbonplastics.com

So if you are in the midwest area and need a sales rep give me a call, I am always looking for another vendor to carry.

I do CAD work for a handrailing company.

Did do structural steel detailing for about 5 years before I started doing the handrailing stuff.
