Easy job, meet new people all the time, lot's of hot girls coming in for cell phones they dropped in the toilet, dropped in the pool, on the ground or just flat out lost it. You have access to a lot of cool new technology. Free company cell phone and unlimited everything plan. Pays decent for a college kid and for what you actually do. If I could do it all over again, instead of looking for just any job I should of been more concerned about networking. What you will realize once you get out of school is it's not about how much you know, it's about who you know. You could apply for a job and you might have a 4.0 GPA and be in every extra activity on campus you could possibly be in while in school, but Joe Smith knows someone already working there or has connections with someone higher up. Well the job is going to Joe Smith no matter what your GPA was in school. Network as much as you can and make as many contacts as you can. I got some pretty good job offers while working at AT&T just basically networking while working there. I wasn't in a Fraternity and thought most of them were douche bags, but if I could do it all over again I would of joined one for the simple fact of connections. You can do whatever you want on your own, but it helps if you have someone helping you or giving you a start.</blockquote>
