Where/when did you work while at ISU?

Easy, now. Are you calling me an a-hole? Because if you are, well, you may be accurate.
Went to school 2002-2006, worked at ISU Rec Services as a lifeguard, card swiper at the rec and fitness center supervisor Summer of 04-Summer of 06. I also worked as a SwimAmerica instructor from the summer of 05 until this summer. Both were great jobs. I had awesome bosses and met lots of really cool people.
What's the price of a ticket these days? I remember during my senior year they voted on jacking up the price (during the summer while all the students were gone of course).
I wouldn't be surprised if I accumulated over $500 dollars in tickets in 4 years. Bastards.
I got nailed with 3 $15 in the past week for not buying a Freddy summer pass. Now I've got the temporary so I'm done with that crap.
Fines double next year though. $30/ticket. Everytime I see an unattended DPS truck in Freddy I want to let the air out of the tires. I swear to god it's the guys that got picked on in high school and are out to get back at the world. Not to mention the a-hole ticketing people the other night wouldn't even answer a couple simple questions for me, then got all ****** off when I started mocking him.
Yeah, I believe they got bumped from $10 to $15 my senior year. $30 is absolutely ridiculous though.
I got most of mine hauling large art projects to the design building and parking in the lot for like 10 mins, or parking around the Daily for work. I realize there has to be parking rules so people don't take advantage of it, but some of the restrictions are just stupid.
Graduated winter of 05...
Let's see:
Iowa State Daily '03-'05
Drugtown (Now Hy-Vee Drugstore) '03-'04
ISU Foundation (for about two days in spring of '05)
::Cough, cough:: Kmart '05
The only good thing about working for the Daily was that I was a sports columnist, so, essentially, I got paid to write whatever I felt like writing.

You sir, are now below the hawk trolls on this site.
why the sarcasm pirate :biglaugh:
Drove to Des Moines and worked at Des Moines Golf and Country Club earning a whopping $3.35/hr. OR $3.00/hr. if I was parking cars.
1971 to 1975 as a student.....worked at Iowa State Center as a concession worker and usher at C.Y. and Hilton.
1975 to 1983 worked on salaried staff of Iowa State Center

On the subject of Parking Depts...I work for the U of I parking department for 2 years. Great job. If ISU's is anything like that you get to drive around in a truck and ticket people whenever you feel like it. We only worked for half an hour and then sat in the office on the computers for 2 hours. then repeat over an 8 hour shift. Lots of freedom and some power, if you're into that. really ****** job in the winter tho! Didn't write many tickets after december because I didn't want to get out of the truck ever. Also parking dept + parking depts friends get free parking behind the pentacrest and voided tickets. Good times - Can't remember how many hot chicks would hear from somebody that I could take care of parking tickets. Nice advantage to have. Also let a lot of hot chicks off. Good thing I'm not going into law enforcement. i'd be horribly unfair.
At ISU from Fall '84 to Summer of '87.
Spring -Fall 1985: Field worker for Molecular Genetics (crop research)
Fall '85 - Summer '87: Asst. to Grad. Engineering students at Spangler GeoTechnical Lab (great job!)

IMO there is not a better job out there for a college student. Great people at the 'Herb, no doubt. I cherished my time there.
Summer 2005-Fall 2006
I'll only be in the office doing dispatch so I won't be risking my life out on the battlefield.
Worked at Midwest Transportation driving school bus for Ames School from 79-83. Made extra money bringing new buses up from Conway Ar and made about $125 for the weekend(good money for the times). Also drove extra buses for Cyride during the winter(buses were accidents wainting to happen).
I worked the Circulation desk at the ISU library. That is possibly the greatest job you can get while attending ISU. Decent pay ($8.50 I think, not great but alright), super flexible hours (would literally work like 2 hours between classes, and I was already on campus!), and you could study and do homework while at work! Totally awesome!:yes::yes::yes:
