Guys, what kind of jobs have you had that allow you to study, do some work while "working"? I know that working as a receptionist at a hotel/motel should give you enough time right, but what other have you had/people you know?

I work at the campus media library front desk. I just sit and study all day until someone needs something, which students usually don't, and my supervisor is ok with it.

You could work as a security guard, they basically sit at a desk and walk around occasionally

a part-time job at the school library is your best bet if you want uninterrupted hot study time.

 

[NickNaylor]

Library or dorm front desks are the best way to go.

My old job (not me in picture). Lots of privacy and time to study, I loved it

If you are an audible learner you could get your commercial drivers license and work nights driving a truck. Works wonders for me.

And the funniest thing is that you have even less common sense to reply with nonsense crap! lol You don't like it, don't read it, don't reply hommie 🙂

I've been working at a gym for a couple years now; scan in the occasional member, and just study! Not to mention the free membership!

Protip: spend less time on SDN and more time studying.

When I worked as a residence hall desk assistant, I had the chance to study whenever I wanted to. It was awesome. The only thing that wasn't so good about that job was that I had to work 2-5 a.m. or 5-8 a.m. shifts throughout the week. That part wasn't so awesome.

Running projection at a movie theater or most student jobs.

This doesn't apply to class studying, but tutoring subjects that I was reviewing for the MCAT was the bomb-diggity. The pay wasn't great, but I set my own hours and there's no way to master material better than teaching it.

Is that Canadian-American actor Brendan Fraser? Why is he stealing milk through a hole in the wall?

OP, lifeguards don't tend to do much work.

Find a cool PI and do some research for him/her, seriously. I have been in two labs, one which I worked non-stop 50 hours a week during the summer, and one in which I worked a very laid back 40 hours a week. First lab was in bio and my PI stayed on top of me all day and came up with busy work if I had 10 minutes of free time. Second one was in a chem lab with an awesome PI who just cared about results, not how many hours you could work in a day. I would come in, mix some stuff up, sit around and study, go play with the mixture some more, let it react some more, blah blah blah. Needless to say, the more stressful job resulted in zero publications or acknowledgements from my PI and the less stressful job ended in me being named second author on two publications. Regardless of the job, it all depends on your boss as to how much freedom you have.

Research. I study for 2 hours or at least 30 minutes at a time while my cells are incubating/staining/etc. Plus it's always quiet, and research = impressive for med schools.

Lots of desk jobs at the hopsital I work at are staffed by students I never see doing anything other than homework and facebook.

 

[marshds]

Glassware technician for a diagnostic laboratory
All I did was go pick up dirty glassware, biohazard stuff, etc. at all of the labs then wash, sterilize, and autoclave. 90% of the time I was waiting for a machine to run and studying.

 

[Dannyw]

I tutor at my schools' learning center, we have set hours.... if people don't come we still paid. I get a lot of work done.

Get a job as a lab assistant doing biochemistry experiments. My experience with biochemistry is that there is a lot of downtime while running experiments. Or try to get a position that would train you in electrophysiology. I would run electrophysiology experiments for 12 hours a day and most of that time was just letting them run and recording APs. This way you could kill two birds with one stone, studying and research experience.
