    I worked retail while in school, all I had to do was say I was unavailable after 5....was never scheduled later than that.

    Chadwick is on the right track....

    Not sure what size venue you live by, but if they have a box office open during the day, apply there for that... or go to bigger venues in town for the same thing. I manage a box office at an arena, and we hire anyone with a fucking pulse that is available during the weekdays. Pay is crappy, but if you work until like 6 or 7, you can stick around and watch the show or whatever.

    And yeah... retail in general, the pool of people who can work during the day isn't all that great, someone will hire you.

    Or even as a waiter in places that are busy for lunch...

    good luck gearboy and good luck to musicismylife. Surely you can find something that is in the day. You just can't be picky, I guess.

    I work in a 24/7 setting (hospital) but at a 9-5 job (physical therapist). Not sure this is helpful tho, considering the required doctorate for PT's, now :lol:. I often wish it was NOT 9-5, as I'm a total night owl & despise mornings. Oh well, gotta pay back the college loans somehow. :roll:

    i have a bachelors in sociology. the music venue is a small time operation. as i said, i know personally the booking assistant, and the house managers, bartender, and food sales people, and all are young people like me in their twenties, not likely to give up their spots. the other major venue in town, is family owned and operated. unless you know the people who own it and run it, you arent hired. i dont know them.

    i got my degree in sociology, but after graduation became decidedly non political. social work and non profit social activist work would be more fulfilling than any office type job, or the job i have now, but it would be too much for me. i dont even read the news because of how talk and discussion of war and violence ruin my day, much less my life.

    Im just in a horrible place. I went to school, for years. and went to college, because i expected that getting a bachelors would improve my chances of getting a job. in 2010, bachelors degrees are so common, they are basically worthless.

    I want to go back to school, but i cant think of any job I want. I want to pursue art, writing, film, painting etc... but that obviously is a type of work that is hard to come by and its not really something you go to school for.

    ive done the volunteering thing. both at this music venue, and at a school, as sociology majors frequently work in the school system. yet volunteering hasnt gotten me a job yet in either of those things. its beyond frustrating...

    My dream job: one that is fulfilling. one that means something to me. one that is artistic in nature. one where i express myself, or am around people who are creative. a job that is non caustic. a job that gives me nights off.

    thats the venue i volunteer at. thats it. its virtually all volunteer run. 400 plus volunteers i believe, and by my estimation, theres about 6 or 7 paid jobs if that.

    janitor, house managers, booking assistant, office manager, bar tender, and food/candy bar operator. and sound guys. thats it for paid jobs. and i know all of these people. ive been volunteering there for almost 3 years and few if any of those jobs have changed hands. if it was a bunch of 50 year olds in those positions maybe you could expect people to retire, but these are all twenty and thirty year olds
